Michael Gillooly If they spoke their opinion about transgender using the bathroom of their birth gender would you be as supportive. Probably not. Atheism, Liberalism, Marxism =Liberalism
This ad brought tear to my eyes. I crossed the border with my mom and two other siblings. My young sister wasn't even one. Walking across the desert with strangers just to get across the border is a dangerous task. No human is illegal.
You do know what illegal means right? That is not a journey to be legal, that's a journey to subvert our laws and cut the line in front of the people who actually respect the sovereignty of this country. Try doing what they did to ANY country but the US and you'll get a range of jail, hard labor, getting shot on sight, or thrown the fuck out immediately. And the majority of LEGAL immigrants would love nothing more than to slap that woman in the face and toss both her and her daughter right back out.
Many people do wait in line to try to come here legally but the U.S. only gives out about 25,000 work visas a year. It's incredibly difficult and for those saying "well, my family came here the right way a long time ago" back then there was virtually no way to come here illegally because we had very few immigration laws. If you came from, say Holland in the 1880s, you were just accepted here.
In their shoes, wouldn't you? Just across that border, even working in some of the worst jobs for long hours and low pay, your child has access to better education and better opportunities. Your grandchildren will be citizens, and none of them will have to worry about cartels taking over the town and killing people in the streets.
We need comprehensive immigration reform to streamline the process and allow more visas among other things. Also, 70% of Americans have broken the law and a crime serious enough to land them in prison, whether it's something as common as illegally downloading a song. My point is that people shouldn't act "holier than thou" and realize not all crimes are the same. Illegally entering the country to escape drug cartels that cut off people's heads so that you can ensure your children a better life isn't the same as killing someone or committing a violent crime, etc.
They're promoting a "big beautiful door," in the wall. Hmm, big beautiful door. Where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah, that's a Trump quote, dipshit.
How does this show any such thing? The door opens up, there is no road, there are no welcoming people, there is no water, food, shelter, or job. The symbolism is either flawed or its meaning is entirely different than what is claimed in the intro.
presqueisle my father was smuggled here on a truck through Canada. Then he got my mom, sister and me here. We have American citizenship, we pay our taxes, I have a BA and MA and work at one of the most respected finance firms in the country. We didn't come here to steal your jobs -- we came here to make a life and live in peace -- something we couldn't do where we originally came from.
truchito truchis LOL you fucking fool, they did come over legally. Btw we all have different ancestors, so saying "our" ancestors doesn't make any sense.
not really during the early twenties and thirties a lot of immigrants were undocumented . the customs officials called then displaced persons DP'S, and also without Papers WOP. but still let them in.
Beautiful filmmaking. It's heart-wrenching to think about the difficult journeys and lengths that some people go to escape the horrors of their countries and strive to be a part of the American dream. "I lift my lamp beside the golden door." America is the land of opportunity, and the fact that it has been that for all people, not just those lucky enough to be born here, is what has made, and does make our country strong, and great.
And THAT is why we should make the process of legally getting into this country easier. Which is what Trump is doing. Make it easier to get in legally, and harder to get in illegally. Trump's on your side. You just haven't realized it yet.
You are in awe of the story involving the good ones. But you are not taking into consideration the bad ones. What don't you understand about this? I get it. We all do. You want the good ones to have their shot. But this is where logic(Republicans) and emotion(Democrat) collide. You are blinded by the uplifting and sad stories and completely disregarding the bad shit that SOME of these immigrants do. The reason is because you personally have not and never will be effected negatively by a criminal illegal. If you were a part of Kate Steinle's family though, then you would think differently, after she was raped and killed by a man who was living in SF, a sanctuary city, after being deported unsuccessfully 5 times. Wake up. Please wake up.
TwentyPercentDash what steps is trump taking to make legal immigration easier? I don't mean this as sarcastic or as a challenge, I just genuinely haven't heard that and would like to know more!
People who are commenting that this ad promotes or glorifies illegal immigration missed the point of the ad. The door is there symbolically. It represents the solutions that we have yet to define for the spot we're in with immigration today whereby many people have been here working for some time or were born here, or who are escaping horrors in their home country, and we don't have a workable path to citizenship for them or their parents. The team who built the door represent the hearts and minds of people who value our immigrant heritage and want to enable immigration to continue via workable, sturdy solutions, just as a door is a workable way to pass through a wall. The people in the ad can be any of us ... those who are immigrants themselves or descendants of immigrants, like me, and also people who roll up their sleeves and build solutions, also like me. I believe this ad is intended to: 1. get us to ask ourselves what kind of people and country we want to be ... compassionate and open to new people while also smart enough to keep people safe or people who live inside walls high enough to block out the suffering and the beautiful diversity outside those walls; and 2. challenge us to think in new ways to find solutions to this complex situation. No one expected that the wall would have a door. What solutions are we not even considering because we're too busy arguing and judging and spewing uninformed views? We're America. We've long been a people of ingenuity and fortitude. If anyone can figure this out, it's us! Let's get to work on real solutions, and keep our country safely welcoming to the diversity of talent and humanity that created the audacious idea of America in the first place. I believe these truths to be self-evident. Thank you 84 Lumber. ☮️ ✌️️
BreatheFree 84 should not have used that symbolism. Too vague. Maybe if they showed her going to an immigration office and filing the required forms, after she realized there is a wall, would have been better. Also when they show the construction workers, it makes you think they're building the wall to keep her out. But at the end they actually built a door /gate to make it easy for anyone to get in illegally (that's what it seemed to me).
then why not come in legally? promote a video that shows the documenting process of a mother and daughter legally getting in through legal permits and such. Though we are all humans, but accepting illegal immigrants in is unjustifiable basing on that factor. Then what bout living creatures? Animals entering into a lion's den? should we stop the livelihood of the lion not eating them because cats and dogs just wants a warm cozy environment in the den? If laws are basing on feelings of compassion then what is justice different from revenge. There is a proper way for immigration laws and that was set in place for people to follow. I agree the problem is complex and the long term solution is not just a wall, however in short term the wall will help american economy and job stability for the citizens. I suggest you may watch this video whereby democrats agree with building the wall /watch?v=JQJlmFqUA8w #notaamerican
I'm American and ALL I want to say about this top is God bless all of you. God bless the immigrants trying to build a better life for their families. God bless everyone going through the real struggle trying to get to a place of freedom and peace. And God bless the people who are too ignorant to see that America is the land of the free and talk crap over the Internet. God be with you all. Peace will win & fear/ignorance/hate will lose.
Brandon Long I believe everyone is tired of the liberal b s referring to illegal immigrants as simply immigrants. if "they" of any nation are here illegally they are illegal immigrants. My great great grandparents came here legally from Ireland trying to make a better life. I do empathize with the Mexican people but they don't have to come here illegally. Nothing is free. Eventually the honey hole is going to dry up.
Carl Bennett I agree completely. Come in legally. It's in the name. Illegal is illegal. All I said is that it's a struggle and they want a better life. But there is a way to get in. And let God be with them through that process.
It took a lumber company to have the balls to make this commercial. Not sure why everyone is so upset about it though. Everyone is an immigrant or comes from immigrant parents at one point or another.
The point is not that we hate immigrants, idk how else to explain. we hate I L L E G A L immigrants. Its against the law. yes everyone has come as an immigrant from another country but most of us has come LEGALLY. its like someone who tried really hard and studied for a test (legal immigrant) while someone else (Illegal Immigrant) just comes along and cheats on the test from the person who studied. getting the same grade but by cheating. Why are we glorifying cheating?
Not sure why this is getting hate, the door was symbolic of them coming in LEGALLY as it says in the description. People love getting angry about things, I guess.
Vin S absolutely nothing pertaining to their passage to America portrays any form of legal emigration whatsoever. They clearly scraped up whatever they had, hopped on a car, train, etc.,and proceeded to migrate North until they reached the wall. Stop making stuff up.
I saw a woman make a rough journey putting her daughter in harms way to cross illegally then I saw a liberal illegally let them across the border without going through the proper procedure where in this video did you see any paperwork for a green card....the first step to obtain US citizenship
I wonder if at any point in the commercial they show an immigration office or something. A commercial glorifying illegal immigration, what have we come to?
Nate so you're saying the white race is inferior when put into a fair & competitive state and we should somehow protect them?? Sorry it's called capitalism. I have friends whose parents were illegal immigrants, they got no scholarships they worked their way through school and they're now millionaires. If you're poor that's your fault no one else's.
CaptainCrape I don't think illegal immigration is right. This ad shows a "big, beautiful door" Trump speaks of that is open to immigrants who come here legally.
Every year thousands of men, women and children die in the deserts of northern Mexico and the US southwest. If there were effective control of that border and all of those people who will die in the "Journey" knew it, they would not set out and would live. 84 Lumber is complicit in the deaths of those people. We cannot call ourselves compassionate if we continue to let this carnage go on. The border fence or wall or whatever you choose to call it absolutely must be built and the laws of the country must be enforced.
Great job saying 'border protection' and 'effective control to make your point. And your comment helps educate the many who seem to forget that Obama/Hillary wanted to build a border barrier. Fence/wall...same principle. It's mind boggling that some just don't get it.
Allen A its a metaphor. even trump has used this metaphor..."a great wall but it will have doors in it". 84lumber is trying to make the point that border control does not mean zero immigration. a point that the left needs to hear as they are panicked.
This commercial undermines the process and struggles of immigrating to America legally. My grandparents and parents all went through extreme hardships to come to America. My mom was only 13 and my grandfather was in the Navy. He fought along side Americans in Vietnam with lasting bullet wounds as reminders. On their way to the US my family was forced to stop in numerous countries, faced near starvation, and fought through rough seas on cramped boats just to get here. The stories of hardship my mom has told me of her childhood are endless, but my family went through all this to come to America for a better life, and did so with respect for American laws and customs. My mom now has her Masters degree and is a school teacher. She worked hard getting her and worked hard to make a good living in America. Glorifying coming to America illegally insults both mine and any other families that have struggled through the process to come to this country legally.
So many similarities between what you wrote and what I saw in the video... Does it matter if they traveled on boat vs walking for weeks in the hot sun or is there something I am missing about the hard journey part?
Acewingman my issue is that the commercial is promoting doing so illegally. It doesn't entail the struggles that were also the processing and work to get certified green cards into the country. Granted I didn't write out that part of story so that's my fault. Immigration itself is not bad america is melting pot and it is great because of it, but the immigrants should have enough respect for the country they are wanting to make their new home to do so in accordance to the new countries laws. Getting a visa is the hard way to do it and that's why I'm saying this commercial undermines legitimate immigration. I mean all they had to do was have a small cut in of them signing some papers and the commercial would have a different meaning, but if they did that they would have to fight the issue of being labeled racist. As an ad it a lose lose even though amazingly touching story. The girl making the American flag is adorable and heart wrenching.
Trancedance23 I suppose that is true and I do greatly sympathize with anyone having to fight those issues. That being said is it the job of America to simply void immigration law and allow all who come? Even in spite of immigrant who are not as well mannered? Canada is doing much better then the states in term of illegal immigrants currently and that's because their immigration laws are way more rigorous. Europe is more lenient and currently having an extreme rape epidemic due to large immigration from country's in which raping women isn't demonized. So where the middle ground? Also should America for go it's own internal issues in favor of fixing others? Immigration is a hard topic but I just don't believe glorifying the act of illegally doing so is the right thing to do.
Yea but since they did it legally the mentally ill liberals won't care, or will even see you as a problem. Only when it involves breaking the law do these non thinkers celebrate.
The people that need to get out of this country is people that are calling immigrants rats and aliens. The comments are disgusting. How can one have so much hatred in their heart. They are humans too. I am literally in tears. This comment section is inhumane.
Ok so say we have our borders open right? All the Mexicans will come here and then America will be worse than Mexico is right now, I mean we are already drowning in debt. If we built a wall however, it would create many American jobs and encourage legal immigration , plus we would become wealthier by making a tax on immigrants. It would help the U.S. as a whole and might even kick start the economy to grow and get us out of debt. But what do I know? I am just an inhumane person who needs to get out of this country.
This lady is surprised when she walks up to the border and sees a wall. What makes her feel so entitled that she thinks she should just be able to walk into another country illegally?
"Although many people think this channel is about the Philippines but it is actually about helping people psychologically wherever they are in the world." Your youtube channel description and what you actually said here blows my mind. So you only want to help certain people that fit your agenda?
This commercial is astounding. "The will to exceed is always welcome here" The country was built on Immigrants and it will continue to be! Brave 84 Lumber!
Gordon McWilliams This country was built on legal immigration, and before you repeat the Native American argument: 1) Natives weren't united and frequently committed atrocious acts against one another 2)There were no migration laws from any tribe. 3) #2 should tell you how "advanced" the natives were compared to the European counterparts
The way I see the world is no borders at all. I see it as I am human being that was born on Earth, this is our planet I should be able to go as I please. A citizen of Earth. I don't think "they're coming for me" I think they're coming here for work! Most illegal immigrants are people who overstayed their visas anyway. The fear mongering Trump has proposed is unnecessary. He has you guys thinking everyone is out to get you and I promise they're not. But demagoguery is powerful.
Tell me, were their border laws in the 17th century? What stopped Russia from annexing North America? No, but in your logic, open borders killed off the Native Americans, and if our borders are opened, we will be killed off as well. Think next time faggot.
123hooligan By my logic, you can't bitch about people coming in here illegally when this entire country was built upon taking land from Native Americans.
Coltsrock56 You do realize that no one from the 17th century thought America didn't exist and it was really the standard of taking over lands during that time
the natives were killing other natives. fact. life isn't and never was a fucking tea party, dip shit. they lost the game they were playing to a more powerful group of people. cry.
Sometimes I sit and think about how good of a life I have and my parents have provided for me. It's an amazing thing to have a true home let alone a life to live without fear. These people should be helped, not everyone is bad. We need to fix this issue and stop judging based on race and nationality.
I want to say one more thing to whoever is reading this. I appreciate when people help people like me. But when there is others in this world that can use this help more than me, help them. That girl has probably encountered more problems in 10 years than most have in a lifetime. My point is that we can't keep ignoring this problem, this does not stand for me! They work so hard and do so much and go through so much and get treated as they do. They are people just like us Americans and we have to treat them as though they are.
Maid Of Heart413 Then you take in as many as you can and give them the " emotional and stuff" support you think they should have! Set an example for the rest of us!
People spend years trying and waiting only to get denied the people who do get through are the people with money and I think we all know who has a lot of money in Mexico
the world doesn't work like that. no country just lets everyone in, no questions asked. illegally crossing the border is not only a crime in and of itself, but how do you think guns, drugs, and PEOPLE (for slavery) are transported in and out of the country under the radar? they dodge the screening process.
My wife came into the United States 🇺🇸 legally. We had to wait years to get approval but we did everything legally. Neither Of us support illegal immigration.
M VGA so its fine to break the law? while others come here legally? There is a reason you have locks on your door to your house to keep ppl out who illegally want to come in and you have no clue who they are
The number of racist xenophobic trolls commenting on this embarrasses me and should embarrass all Americans. Where did you come from?!! The mother and daughter's linage in the commercial have been in the area longer than any of us. The laws you are all referencing were created after the people who lived here were annihilated and another was kidnapped and force into enslaved labor. Shame on you all! Have compassion.
Jabari Osaze It's funny that most of the people in the comments don't realize that Mexicans and immigrants from all around end up doing the jobs Americans don't want to do anyway
NeonArrow12 NOT TRUE. THEY LET PEOPLE THAT HAVE MONEY PAY THEM CHEAPER THAN THEY SHOULD BE PAID. MANY AMERICANS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A FAIR PRICE. IT'S GREEDY PEOPLE WHO BENEFITS FROM ILLEGALS
This comment is for people who dislike this video... Your family heritage did not begin in the united states that's a fact in your time of need righteousness did not discriminate against you and for the record you will never win the challenge of your own negative actions on a positive level many have tried and painfully failed keep thinking otherwise and your actions will teach you a lesson you will never forget when you least expect it in your time of need! you need to learn a history lesson about your own family take a DNA test on Ancestry 23andme or familytreedna then you will learn the fact that you are related to the people you learned to hate by choice! i have a DNA 4 generation cousin who is white from Texas he is 89 years old looks like the whitest white man you ever seen and you would say our common ancestor is white and you would be very wrong because the common ancestor that connects us is Black! so next time before you hate and judge others do your own homework on your own family history you been carrying it around in your DNA your whole life also for the record being sick in the hospital waiting on donor list for a life saving organ is not disgusting let that sink in the next time you feel the need to discriminate against someone...
Stan Williams For fuck's sake. That was 500 years ago, when the US was undiscovered and Europeans settled here. There were no borders. There was no country. Once the borders were set in place, and the country started to grow, immigration laws were put into place to both protect the country and regulate its citizens. Trying to guilt trip anti-illegal immigrationists into accepting your way of thought is disgusting. Because the thing about illegal immigration is that it is FUCKING *ILLEGAL*. They can come legally for all we care, but if they want to get in illegally, send them back. Fucking liberals just can't understand law.
Thanks for proving my point and thank the people you love for not truly loving you to point you in the right direction in your life journey you don't faze me one bit your own negative actions will never show you any positive loyalty ever the knowledge tree of good and evil you survived on your entire life stole your life from you you gave your best years of your life to the knowledge tree of good and evil so when the time comes when you r in need of righteousness it will not support you in no wise good luck with your self made snare...
Mine begins in Ireland and England. Moves to Canada and intermingles with the locals of the time period and eventually legally immigrates to the US. Don't assume everyone came over on a slave ship please.
Remember that in your time of need today and the future there is only 2 teams to play for in your life time Righteousness and Unrighteousness in your time of need remember that! because if you don't your negative actions will remind you of this fact when you least expect it...
I don't get it, what's stopping them from entering the country the legal way? The fact they might have to put some effort and hard work into it instead of just being the best cross country runner?
Plenty of other Mexicans, along with just about every other nationality come in the legal correct way, I don't care if something is hard, if you want something you work at it, you don't break the law just because it's easier, it's way easier to get money if I just rob a bank, but I don't cause I'm not a criminal.
Grumar S Go to Mexico. Not the resort towns like Cabo and Cancun but actual Mexico. People are poor and stay poor until the day they die. The only ones that can afford to come here legally are the ones who have money and no urgency to get out. Trust me. No would risk their lives and leaving everything they own behind if it weren't for a better life.
because it APPEARS that they are promoting illegal immigration simply for the depiction of the wall. to certain people, the mere mention of trump or anything associated with him is a hair trigger.
TyDominoGuy yeah because white folk legally killed millions of native Americans and told them they couldn't live on their land because it was "legally " now under White control . Laws are bullshit meant to keep sheep under control . Don't be a sheep !
I don't get it...are they not illegal? I'm sorry but if you're not going to enter the country legally then you should not be allowed here. Sob story or not you have to abide by the law.
Oh yes, the people living in dire conditions and mass violence should just wait four years to go through the process of legalization. I'm sure they've got time.
*looks at comments* Damn...damn...When you thought the country was ALL LOVING and OPEN ARMS. Fuck, I'm genuinely cringing at the lack of empathy that all Americans have. I thought this country would be the bigger man. Fuck this.
reverbedvonacular Well it seems that a large amount of the American population thinks that illegal immigration is not good. I mean, we elected Donald Trump and he stood by that. So it kind of does seem like a good reflection.
I lived 3 miles from this wall most of my life. My late Brother Jimmy and I would snake hunt right up to the wall. We where right where the wall ends in the Pacific Ocean. We saw imagrants crossing everyday. I will never forget seein Mothers carrying infants being followed by little children crossing frightened and running from the border patrol. Hunted down like dogs. I would see Little boys no more than 10 years old hiding in the bushes, making the crossing all alone. A couple time we gave these frightned kids all alone rides to the trolley because we new it was the right thing to do.I worked and lived with these people and never 1 time ever had a problem stealing work from me are doing crimes. They are hard workers just want an opporturnity at a better life the same as all of us. Dont be afraid of what you dont know. They are not the boogie man. in 1890 my Great Grandparents immagrated From Germany to Russia then Saw the Lady in New York. We are all Immagrants! Thats right I said it.
Our nation was built on immigrants not illegal aliens. Also look at what happened to the native Americans. We stole their homes their life their freedom. We need to make sure th same fate won't come to us
Lovely comment, Bob. We are a country that offers hope. We must stay that way.

IAteFire That is not really the truth though since 90+% of all indigenous peoples deaths in the Americas was due to disease. So no matter what they were going to die.
Too bad illegal immigration is illegal. Come here LEGALLY and we're happy to have you, don't break the law. Good thing they came through the gate at the end, though, if that's symbolic of legally coming in.
Harry Echtman Good thing, I support it 100% and I'm not sure why this was too controversial to be shown. They're legal, and the kid obviously wants to be American.
Breiten Sundra Yah if it was that easy to come in legally then all of them would, but it isn't it would take a least a decade for the person trying to immigrate to America to be able to get a visa. It's practically impossible for them to come in to this country without having family living in the US that are citizens, or having a degree of higher education. LEGAL IMMIGRATION IS NOT EASY. You have to have sympathy for them.
+Alibi Mike To understand how truly un-American U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration ban is, how out of step with the country’s best values, consider the story of his hometown. For the first two centuries after its founding, writes George Washington University professor Tyler Anbinder in his 2016 book City of Dreams: The 400-Year Epic History of Immigrant New York, newcomers didn’t go through any checks at all. They needed no passport, no visa. Even after doctors began boarding ships to examine them for disease around the time of the American Revolution, the immigrants “simply walked off their ships and onto the streets of New York to begin their new lives in America.” When New York finally set up its first immigrant depot, Castle Garden at the southern tip of Manhattan, it was not to protect Americans from potentially dangerous newcomers but to protect the newcomers from potentially dangerous Americans. Touts and thugs had been preying on the confused arrivals as they disembarked at the docks. Castle Garden funnelled them to one place, where police could keep watch. Eventually, authorities replaced Castle Garden with the famous clearing house on Ellis Island, now a popular museum. It saw its first arrival in 1892, when 17-year-old Annie Moore arrived from Queenstown, Ireland. By then, the United States had introduced the first real curbs on open immigration, barring paupers, polygamists, Chinese labourers, the mentally ill and those with “loathsome” illnesses. Still, most of the millions who arrived at Ellis Island passed through successfully in just a few hours. The museum says only about 2 per cent were denied entry to the United States, often because they were carrying a contagious disease. First- and second-class ship passengers didn’t have to go to Ellis Island at all.So the idea that the country should treat immigrants as inherently suspicious, much less subject them to Trump-style “extreme vetting,” is pretty new in historical terms. It is a distinctly modern notion that every nation is a watertight compartment that must be sealed against threatening new arrivals to prevent it from foundering. It was only after the First World War that U.S. authorities began to suppress mass immigration in earnest. As Dr. Anbinder points out in his timely book, the war churned up suspicion of foreigners. In the postwar Red Scare, fuelled by the Russian Revolution, police rounded up foreign-born communists and other suspected radicals. Legislation in 1921 and 1924 cut back sharply on the number of immigrants permitted to enter from eastern and southern Europe. Building on earlier limits on Chinese, Japanese and other Asians, the new laws signalled that the United States was turning away “from its historic role as an asylum for the world’s huddled masses.” The latest immigrants, it was said, were simply too foreign to make good Americans. Many Americans came to see them as a shadowy fifth column - clannish, disloyal and a danger to American security. Weren’t many of those anarchists Jews or Italians? Must not most Jews and Italians therefore be anarchists or anarchist sympathizers? “Immigration of this character is invasion, and invasion means conquest,” the Chicago Tribune said. “For America, shut the gates.” The echoes in today’s headlines are unmistakable. When Mr. Trump decreed Washington would slap a temporary ban on refugees and block the entry of people from seven mainly Muslim countries, his executive order said that “The United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles.” All of this has happened before. In colonial New York, it was the Catholics who were supposed to be a threat to American security, because they would ally with Britain’s Catholic foes. Later it was the Irish, still later the Germans. In its moving new Super Bowl ad, Budweiser reminds Americans of the danger and hostility newcomers like the brewery’s co-founder Adolphus Busch had to overcome. “Yet prior to the 2016 election campaign,” Dr. Anbinder says, “no prominent member of any American political party … ever proposed banning an entire ethnic or religious group from immigrating to the United States because of the sins of a few of the group’s members.” In his own twisted way, Mr. Trump is making history. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/so-much-for-americas-historic-role/article33896831/
Some people think immigrating "legally" is just a matter of filling out forms. Yes, if you can prove you are investing more than $500,000 in the U.S. (EB-5 program). Otherwise, you are out of luck..
You are referring to non-immigrant visas. Immigrant visas are much more difficult - sometimes virtually impossible - to obtain. See here travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/all-visa-categories.html
Yes, most countries have requirements for immigrating legally, many of them more stringent than that of the United States. But it would be surprising if any had an identical prerequisite (down to the figure?)
How many things that you don't like in your own country have you been able to fix? Do you think you can bring it out of a recession or decrease the unemployment rate?
Mark Bauer true, which is why there should be a path to citizenship. That'd be an astounding boost in taxes for our government, deporting them only causes harm for everyone involved
Mark Bauer The thing about illegals paying taxes is not true. Yes there are some that don't pay taxes but many do. I have family members that are illegal that pay taxes. Do your research buddy, have a nice day.
I'm watching the game, and this commercial affected me enough to go see the full version. My immigrant family story is my maternal great-grandmother came on the last ship leaving Austria before WWI, with 7 children including a baby. One of the children was sick, which meant the whole family would be sent back. It's unknown what she did, but it was great enough that they passed through. Joining her husband, she had one more child, named Sam, what some people now call an anchor baby. We have plenty of space for refugees, both social and economical.
that's why we have millions of homeless military veterans. because we can just support everyone, right? times were different back then. we don't have unlimited space.
Trump has cost us over $12 million in extra security for his family in NYC because his wife doesn't want to live with him at the White House. So why don't you insist he pull security from NYC and spend the money on VA Dept.?
Marsia Powers "because his wife doesn't want to live with him" Uhm try again, she's waiting for Baron to finish school so they can both move to the White House together, fact check and use logic.
That's the formal story first sent out, she's not expected to move to Washington even after. $6million+ a week, if that's the real reason, the kid can finish school in Washington or Trump family should pay the tab.
Why do people comment on illegal immigration when they no nothing about it? Like if you actually knew what it was like to be an illegal immigrant I bet you would change your mind. I understand it's bad and illegal, but not everyone is allowed legally into this country by asking. I wish some people would have a little bit of compassion. This ad was amazing!
Maria A. My family were Germans who came legally during world war I. Then we went back out to fight in world war II. If we could do it legally everyone else can. Stupidity, and laziness is not an excuse!
Kertney whose leeching off tax money. my husband is illegal yet has a working permit and pays taxes. as do most do. and illegals cannot get benefits or welfare.
Kertney cookie muster I think you need to read some more. To come here lagally is very hard. You need to show you have properties, a lot of money safe, doctors notes etc etc. These people are poor so there is no way to could get here by doing all of this requirements let alone to buy a plane ticket.
Cristina Pike cookiemunstet says her husband is here and working. I know the process of coming here legally, as I am the first gen American out of my family. My mothers family were dirt poor coming from Canada. If they could do it, there is no reason for anyone else to. You can't go to another country and get benefits like you can here, you'd be deported anywhere else. So if you want to come here, you better live by the laws.
Their children and grandchildren aren't immigrants, they are Americans. If you aren't the member of your family you entered this country you are not an immigrant. We are a diverse nation of Americans with an immigrant minority.
The first colonists (some these "proud" Americans ancestors), they come into a land that is not theirs. They settle here on the Americas, and slowly start to take over the continent. Killing the people that already inhabited this land. But you people are proud of everything that your ancestors did, weather it was killing innocent people whose only wrong doing was living on this land. You're even proud of slavery. You were so "brave" to do such terrible things, and now you're scared. You're scared that other people might harm you. You go to war and you try to protect everything that has been built on the blood of innocent people. I understand your fear, but I don't understand your hatred. I could go on, but I know that I'm not going to change anything, it's just a waste of time. Because the fact is, that racism is very much alive in America, just disguised as concerned "Americans" that "love" the law and "care" about the economy. You know who you are, and you are a sad person. Educate yourself.
+Antonio Man, I feel very very bad for you. I, too, had lost faith in humanity a while ago, because of what I thought of Americans. But you're so close-minded it's insane. There are some amazing people out there doing some amazing things, and yet you're here, on youtube, complaining about all the faults of others, calling them pathetic when you really need to look at yourself. At your own morals, and maybe, just maybe, you could accept another person.
1. Do you live here? Since you repeatedly say "you Americans" 2. You just basically said every American feels that which is extremely false. 3. You aren't making a point or anything you are just saying random false statements. 4. You are declaring a few peoples opinions as fact which is not right. 5. WHAT IS YOUR POINT!?
Thank you 84 Lumber! You have earned a new customer! I am a 5th generation (middle of the road Republican) American and believe in helping those less fortunate then us and those who have hope for having a better life. It is just that, that built this great country!
I'm sorry, but I disagree. The United States was founded on diversity---to be a melting pot. It hasn't always been easy---we've often marginalized the latest new group---from the Irish to the Italians, now to Mexicans and Muslims, but we do a better job of assimilating our immigrants into the fabric of our country than any other in the world. Diversity only breeds discord when we don't open our arms to welcome others and learn from their experiences. I'm a white male with friends of all colors and creeds---their experiences and views enrich my life and do make us stronger as a country. The other countries you mention were not founded on being a country of immigrants and a melting pot. The United States was and this diversity and these principles are what have made us the most powerful country in the world. Far from being forced on us, it was our choice as a nation and it's why people want to move here, rather than the countries you listed.
Are you kidding me, an ad promoting people to break the law!! If they want to convey a positive story of immigration they should have showed them getting their citizenship and being proud that they came to this country the right way. I'm not racist or against immigration for anywhere, but do it the right way and not against the law. Apply to be a citizen and enter the U.S. the right way!
The Accountant nope, your Mr president breaks the law. the Constitution is most important than the president. what do you think about this? is most important: the Constitution or some migrants? I'm not American, I'm Italian but I know that the real Americans are natives. are you a native? :) peace, and see you soon there. :)
francesco pizzolon president Trump doesn't break the law, his 120 day stop of immigration from the 7 countries Obama chose, is absolutely constitutional
And Mexico has no money????Or jobs????Come on...We have laws!!Legally come here.So tell me why should these people jump in front of the line??You can't-OBEY the Laws of my Country.
+Robert Muir Please keep your gun pointing toward the ground. To understand how truly un-American U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration ban is, how out of step with the country’s best values, consider the story of his hometown. For the first two centuries after its founding, writes George Washington University professor Tyler Anbinder in his 2016 book City of Dreams: The 400-Year Epic History of Immigrant New York, newcomers didn’t go through any checks at all. They needed no passport, no visa. Even after doctors began boarding ships to examine them for disease around the time of the American Revolution, the immigrants “simply walked off their ships and onto the streets of New York to begin their new lives in America.” When New York finally set up its first immigrant depot, Castle Garden at the southern tip of Manhattan, it was not to protect Americans from potentially dangerous newcomers but to protect the newcomers from potentially dangerous Americans. Touts and thugs had been preying on the confused arrivals as they disembarked at the docks. Castle Garden funnelled them to one place, where police could keep watch. Eventually, authorities replaced Castle Garden with the famous clearing house on Ellis Island, now a popular museum. It saw its first arrival in 1892, when 17-year-old Annie Moore arrived from Queenstown, Ireland. By then, the United States had introduced the first real curbs on open immigration, barring paupers, polygamists, Chinese labourers, the mentally ill and those with “loathsome” illnesses. Still, most of the millions who arrived at Ellis Island passed through successfully in just a few hours. The museum says only about 2 per cent were denied entry to the United States, often because they were carrying a contagious disease. First- and second-class ship passengers didn’t have to go to Ellis Island at all. So the idea that the country should treat immigrants as inherently suspicious, much less subject them to Trump-style “extreme vetting,” is pretty new in historical terms. It is a distinctly modern notion that every nation is a watertight compartment that must be sealed against threatening new arrivals to prevent it from foundering. It was only after the First World War that U.S. authorities began to suppress mass immigration in earnest. As Dr. Anbinder points out in his timely book, the war churned up suspicion of foreigners. In the postwar Red Scare, fuelled by the Russian Revolution, police rounded up foreign-born communists and other suspected radicals. Legislation in 1921 and 1924 cut back sharply on the number of immigrants permitted to enter from eastern and southern Europe. Building on earlier limits on Chinese, Japanese and other Asians, the new laws signalled that the United States was turning away “from its historic role as an asylum for the world’s huddled masses.” The latest immigrants, it was said, were simply too foreign to make good Americans. Many Americans came to see them as a shadowy fifth column - clannish, disloyal and a danger to American security. Weren’t many of those anarchists Jews or Italians? Must not most Jews and Italians therefore be anarchists or anarchist sympathizers? “Immigration of this character is invasion, and invasion means conquest,” the Chicago Tribune said. “For America, shut the gates.” The echoes in today’s headlines are unmistakable. When Mr. Trump decreed Washington would slap a temporary ban on refugees and block the entry of people from seven mainly Muslim countries, his executive order said that “The United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles.” All of this has happened before. In colonial New York, it was the Catholics who were supposed to be a threat to American security, because they would ally with Britain’s Catholic foes. Later it was the Irish, still later the Germans. In its moving new Super Bowl ad, Budweiser reminds Americans of the danger and hostility newcomers like the brewery’s co-founder Adolphus Busch had to overcome. “Yet prior to the 2016 election campaign,” Dr. Anbinder says, “no prominent member of any American political party … ever proposed banning an entire ethnic or religious group from immigrating to the United States because of the sins of a few of the group’s members.” In his own twisted way, Mr. Trump is making history. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/so-much-for-americas-historic-role/article33896831/
And Americans will have do social security or welfare for it's own if they keep allowing another countries poor to just walk in our country and bleed government services that belong to our poor, our veterans our elderly. Don't feel sorry at all for them, they have a country. Let their country take care of them.
Immigrants are welcome as long as they come LEGALLY and pay taxes to uncle sam...Go through the right process and enjoy the privilege. Thats why I voted for Trump! I love my motherland Philippines and I love America. Obey the rules or gtfo. All these people do is complain and complain instead of praying for the President and for the success of this great country. BTW, Im an immigrant and waited 23 years to come here LEGALLY yet some people complain??. smh.
Crimson Rain entering legally is not easy. Not everyone is approved for visas or passports, not everyone makes as much as you do.. there are people who make less than $25 a day. Applications are not easy. If you were unfortunate enough to have been born in poverty, you would know how much you would do for a future for your family. Stop being selfish, the 'illegal' immigrants are the ones doing the jobs you don't want to do. You want 15 hour for fast foods, for they are happy with minimum wage because with minimum wage, they can live a simple life. They don't have to work their asses off because they were not privileged enough to have been born in a middle class society. They were not privileged enough to get a decent free education. Put on their shoes and think about what you would do. They pay taxes, trust me they do, and they don't ask for refunds, therefore they don't get the money back. Your president avoid taxes, what would Uncle Sam say about that?
WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL no if they go through the correct process, then they deserve to be a citizen.
If that was the case, the vast majority of people on this Earth would become U.S. citizens. Hell, regardless of where you were born, if it was that easy to become a U.S. citizen why WOULDN'T you move to where the average income is $55k? Society and any type of welfare state cannot sustain unlimited immigration. That's why the border has to be walled and secure before the reformed path to citizenship can even be discussed.
Outstanding. Powerful. Courageous. Commercial advertising at its very best.Thank you, 84 Lumber! I wish every one of us sitting in our comfortable homes or favorite pubs during Super Bowl broadcast could have seen this.
Thanks 84 Lumber. I enjoyed the ad. It was very heartfelt...and I would love to know more about the Mother and Daughter journey. There are even more struggles once they've made it past the wall. This ad had some meaning to me. My Grandparents on my Mother's side of the family are immigrants from Mexico. Thank God there wasn't a wall then....or my Mom never would have met my Dad. Who, by the way has immigrant grandparents from Sweden. Unless you are an American Indian born on these lands then you all have Grandparents or even Parents who are immigrants.
Good points. I assume 'the wall' is a metaphorical reference. The Democrats wanted a fence, Republicans want a wall. Same principle. And you're right...all Americans are descended from immigrants/migrants. This includes Native Americans and Native Mexicans... when you think of our species in the proper evolutionary/global-migration terms.
i showed my mother this commercial and it made her tear up because she made the exact same journey as the mother and daughter did. this was a beautiful commercial and i'm glad it was made, hopefully some people will change their minds on wanting a wall put up
For all my conservative Christian friends; I invite you to read the Bible: Leviticus 19:33-34 33 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God. -God.
@Juan The Americans have done that, if they haven't, the immigrants would not mentioned about America's greatness about good treatment of foreigners. They foreigners comes in uninvited. You have to be legally invited in, because that will be called home invasion. That is against God's law. "You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:17)
Mary Cross God's law is explicit. And his law is above any law made by humans. Same could've been said about Europeans conquering the Americas, after all, they were uninvited. But I don't want to get into that argument since it's so overused.
Mary Cross Plus, the country doesn't belong to only people that think your way. It also belongs to people who support illegal immigrants who try to pursue the American Dream. That Bible verse doesn't work here, it's a faulty analogy. You really have to consider the different opinions.
For all those saying why not come the "legal way?" Well that argument went out the door when Trump decided to also not let in people with visas. That was the "legal" way. So again not relevant anymore.
my opinion on the subject is that, we came here and took the land from the Indians. then we called it ours and now we're not letting others come in without permission? it's ridiculous. "land of the free" bullshit.
Sherry Seibert Settler: a person who settles in an area, typically with no or few inhabitants Immigrant: a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.
USA USA Dude! We came to live in a foreign country that others inhabited! We used to live in Britain, we chose to leave like the people in Mexico do. Only difference is we didn't have a wall stopping us.
Who's lying? This is a video with 8 million views and roughly 600 comments. When I wrote this 2 hours ago there were only 70 comments. A couple hours from now when the poor chap who needs to sort this shit out gets back from his break I can guarantee you there will be less than 600 again. Also note the disparity between the comments that were allowed to survive and the like bar.
George, I think the sob story is worse. I'll bet this ad was finished and 'in the can' before the election. Just like the Budweiser ad on the immigration topic. So.. let's try to imagine the comment section if Hillary had won?..
hi. my name is Miguel Davíd Gonzalez and I am a legal immigrant from Mexico. I believe in the American dream. So do many other people from Mexico....but the truth is, even though I did everything right, everything the way the system says I should do and everything I could to become a citizen....why should these people get the same thing even though I did everything I was supposed to? Why is it that people are ignoring the voices of those who came here like respectful people! why is it that I had to work hard for my citizenship but those who come to this country ILLEGALLY get to have citizenship? why can't my family who is still in mexico trying to get in America. why are these people more important than the people who did it legally. please tell me
Mike Wazowski as long as they immigrate legally. If illegally, then they can fuck off back to where they came from. Shame on 84 Lumber for glorifying breaking the law
Mike Wazowski You are welcomed but you must come here legally! Illegal immigrants should never be allowed into the country when they do it the wrong way!
RedX165 Because people who aren't Americans are people and we care about those people. If they want to come to America, to live the American dream, they should be welcomed with open arms
We don't hate immigrants, we just want them to follow the law. Don't be stupid and stop making a straw man out of Trump supporters. I'm not even a Trump supporter and I understand the situation. Not all Trump supporters are racist assholes, in fact very few of them are.
I know...I've never seen so many people who hate America so much they're willing to let it be overrun like that. If you import Mexicans, you get Mexico. They are not "fleeing" crime and corruption--they are bringing it with them.
Actually jeebs621's use of Jesus' name here was not used in vain but very appropriately considering that Jesus Christ taught against hate more than anything.
Just like most countries they have issues. Crossing Borders illegally and coming in undocumented is against the law I'm just saying there should be massive protesters in Mexico fighting for rights for the people. robbing a bank is wrong but because I need the money makes it right .
That means everybody who lives in America is weak because it's a country of immigrants. Only the Native Americans actually belonged here and they were treated like shit.
Whats funny about this is that the US will go overseas and try to help other countries get their politics in line, while Mexico is the US neighbor and the US does nothing for it, why? Because the US couldn't care less if people are dying, there's no oil for the US to take.
Wicked Googly That's a right way. I came to this country in legally, my stepfather spent a lot of money to bring to my mom and me. We work hard to get the money back. Therefore I think all inmigrants want to come this country must do it in legally so avoid being deported and have a good life.
LOLthisfun No, not at all. And the taking of North America by Europeans from the Natives only reinforced that arguments that only legal immigrants should be allowed and extreme from those who could do harm to us.
Jose Garza lmao you are ignorant if you compared the genocide of native americans by european immigrants to illegal immigrants crossing the border. Talk about paranoia
• No one should be torn apart from their families, denied entry to the land of opportunity, or denied the opportunity to go home. This country has to do something about illegal immigration, but we can’t forget this country needs immigrants, from everywhere. Diversity is what makes our country great.
84 Lumber here ya go- George Washington felt that immigration should be limited to useful mechanics and some particular descriptions of men or professions. Sorry but if you have an issue with your own country CHANGE it, don't bring your issues to us.
Paola Razo - while destroying the lives of the ones around them. Santa Ana was beautiful in the 1920's now it looks like a Tijuana ghetto and has the crime and murder to match. This is the highest level of civilization ethnic mestizos are capable of maintaining. Mexico is Mexico because of Mexicans!
feel bad for the suffering people of Mexico...but don't u dare mention the suffering legal residents of the USA...drive thru Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, etc. and tell me there isnt true poverty there. ive seen it
Abdullah Moiz whats that have to do with the point i made? take military spending and give it to illegal immigrants who dont contribute to the tax pool like everyone else? ur post doesnt make any sense
Adam Perez he'll do a better job than Hilary ever would have...her and husband, Bill, each were paid millions upon millions for speeches made to wall street execs...speeches she didnt want the transcripts of to be released to public...Trump can't be bought , he is not perfect but he is not beholden to any exec like the Clintons are
It took my family 9 long years for us to do it the right way, to come to the US legally, this spits in the face of legal immigrants who have had to put so much time and effort to achieve so. Stop glorifying criminal behaviour, this commercial is an appeal to emotion precisely because there is no logical argument you can make for people who already disrepect the law to get into this country. I am latino and I voted Trump because everyone is welcome as long as they do it the right way, we need to secure our borders and we need to stop the welfare magnet that attracts so many people. Most complaining about "everyone in the US being an immigrant" forget that the US did not sponsor anyone back in the day, the work of LEGAL immigrants built this country, not draining the pockets of taxpayers through undeserving benefits and government sponsoring. If someone wants to come to America they MUST respect rule of law, if not they are already traitors.
Thank you for sharing this and Congratulations on your citizenship! Maybe the discussion should be more about immigration reform, because 9 years is a crazy long process and I imagine when you are this desperate, you don't have 9 years to wait on paperwork, but it still does not justify smuggling into a country illegally! When the U.S. Border Patrol endorsed Trump, I realized that he knew what he was doing. I don't live by the border, so I struggled with the issue myself, but if those closest to the situation think it's a good idea to build a wall, that's who we should listen to, not this liberal agenda that pushes this agenda that everyone should get their way, but with no thought or idea of how to pay for things.
Yohanan Nussant Hey I think you didnt finish watching the ad man. It's actually pro Trump. At the end it shows the big door in the wall where they can come in legally so In effect it is promoting legal immigration as the correct way out. Save this comment for the dumbass liberals who actually deserve the lesson hahaha
Yohanan Nussant Thank you for your thoughts and perspective. My family came to this country so many years ago I don't personally understand why people come here under cover of night. But what if someone can't wait 9 years? And doesn't it cost a lot of money? I imagine people must be very desperate to come here illegally.
Conveniently use a cute little girl to pull at heart strings. This propaganda would have you believe just because you are good you should have a free ticket to the united states but doesn't mexico need to good people to make their own country better rather then perpetuate the reason the want to come over in the first place? The whole thing is very confusing.
Maria A. yes and they come here to reproduce even more children and live off of government assistance while one is actually working their a** off to provide for their children the right way
+so★ The problem is that many areas in Mexico are beyond saving. Thousands of dangerous gangs kill innocent people and kidnap children to either raise them to be part of the gang or, sometimes, to use them as meat-shields. The legal process of immigration into the United States takes an extremely long time, up to 10 years in many cases, and so that's not an option for people. And no, the innocent in Mexico looking for safety can't just go to a safer town in Mexico. They'd be found regardless. Their only real option is to enter the U.S illegally, so you'd think the solution to this problem would be simple; alter/fix the legal immigration process into the U.S. But no, according to our president, the solution is to build a wall that will easily destroy Mexico's economy thus making it even worse for anyone living there. And even then, the wall wouldn't reduce the illegal immigration numbers by THAT much. Fixing our legal immigration process would mean less illegal immigration and wouldn't just be limited to illegal immigrants from Mexico. Trump's solution is not a well thought-out solution, if you can even call it that. It's like something a drunk hillbilly would come up with if I'm being honest.
Too bad you missed Gaga's performance, it was amazing! I thought it was pretty cool that she managed to say HI to her Dad and Mom while she performed this highly energetic performance.
beautiful commercial....was not expecting a message like this during the superbowl....glad to see corporations stepping up to send a positive message despite the possible backlash and risking economic interests
Struggle Gaming The wall will fix it. Giving these people amnesty is just a scam so the Democraps have a endless supply of government dependent voters!
+Struggle Gaming How exactly will you fix it without a wall? What are we gonna tell them "please don't cross the border illegally" like we have been doing?
considering Bush built a wall, instead of wasting billions of dollars on trying to build a wall at the top of mountains or at the bottom of barren desserts, fix the process so it doesnt take years for people who obviously don thave much money to immigrate. No multi billion dollar cartel is being stopped by a wall, they just continue building massive tunnel systems, using catapults (4 real google this shit its straight out of loony toons) or sneaking through check points, as theyve been doing FOR DECADES.
Sudungarn you're damn right they did. They built it for everyone seeking a free and better life, regardless of your race, creed, or religion. Open a history book!
I don't meant it as a racial thing, but a way of living. USA may be multiracial and have many religions, but if you are not ready to adopt the westerner american way of life you are not welcome. Mexicans and Arabs are known for their fanatical nationalism, Muslims are really extreme with their religion. I would like them to assimilate if they want to live among us. Only to mention that older generations were a lot more racist than we are and i bet they did not build this country for outsiders.
Interesting comment on this: "In the run-up to the Super Bowl, Magerko said the ad shouldn’t be considered provocative at all. In fact, she says she voted for Donald Trump in the election, and the image of the door in the wall comes directly from Trump himself, who said he wanted a “big beautiful door” in his wall, for legal immigration."
And your products just got 10 times more expensive, because without Mexico 's trade and undocumented people cropping the fields in agriculture American economy will NOT survive.
In my perfect world they walk through the door, get a burger right off the grill and some fresh clothes. There would be an office ready to provide them with some basic English lessons, a quick, efficient health screening, and a process by which they can take a legitimate oath of citizenship. Much of this would be volunteer run. Businesses in need of entry level workers could have recruiters stationed all over the place and this woman and her child could start their lives as members of the wonderful USA. Yes it may be a total fantasy, but it's what we should all strive for. An efficient and welcoming legal process.
The ignorance on this post will never trump the love. Thank you for the best halftime commercial in years.💖
This needs to be the top comment! Love trumps hate (and idiotic trump supporters)
You mad bro? I kind of thought a football would come flying over the wall with Joe Buck saying "Brady overthrows another open receiver."
I love the love, but love doesn't make action, or things fair, or cause change. :(
Nikko Schwantes the only way illegals hurt the middle class is when business owners pay less than a living wage to illegals because they can.
Undocumented workers do not compete with skilled laborers - instead, they complement them.
Bravo to 84 Lumber for having the courage to express the brand's beliefs
Michael Gillooly ya slave labor that steals construction jobs from poor AMERICANS
Which is illegal immigration is fine.
Breaking the law? All right thennnn...
Aaron Phillips You expect a skilled tradesman to work for a quarter, a third, or even half of what they're worth?
Michael Gillooly If they spoke their opinion about transgender using the bathroom of their birth gender would you be as supportive. Probably not. Atheism, Liberalism, Marxism =Liberalism
Amazing! In the end 84 LUMBER will be on the right side of history! Where will you haters be, still hating your ghosts?
Brilliantly said, 84 LUMBER!
If the right side of history is the one where people twist public perception to make more money then humans are an odd bunch.
Nathan Aaron what is wrong about keeping out people who don't come in the country the right way
your a brave soul for saying that. mercy.
Thank you Nathan for saying it so well.
Nathan Aaron ❤️
This ad brought tear to my eyes. I crossed the border with my mom and two other siblings. My young sister wasn't even one. Walking across the desert with strangers just to get across the border is a dangerous task. No human is illegal.
Thank you for making this commercial. It's so nice to feel represented.
You do know what illegal means right? That is not a journey to be legal, that's a journey to subvert our laws and cut the line in front of the people who actually respect the sovereignty of this country. Try doing what they did to ANY country but the US and you'll get a range of jail, hard labor, getting shot on sight, or thrown the fuck out immediately.
And the majority of LEGAL immigrants would love nothing more than to slap that woman in the face and toss both her and her daughter right back out.
Marie Did you just admit to being illegal
weeaboos
Marie yuck
benblue3 every body did something bad so shut up racist bich
Many people do wait in line to try to come here legally but the U.S. only gives out about 25,000 work visas a year. It's incredibly difficult and for those saying "well, my family came here the right way a long time ago" back then there was virtually no way to come here illegally because we had very few immigration laws. If you came from, say Holland in the 1880s, you were just accepted here.
Now when you are welcome or not.
Obviously you're not welcome when you come illegally, what part do you criminals not understand?
You people suck.
Christian Bruvah Not a criminal. I'm an American citizen and I welcome them. :)
So if you don't get what you want, just break the law?
In their shoes, wouldn't you? Just across that border, even working in some of the worst jobs for long hours and low pay, your child has access to better education and better opportunities. Your grandchildren will be citizens, and none of them will have to worry about cartels taking over the town and killing people in the streets.
We need comprehensive immigration reform to streamline the process and allow more visas among other things. Also, 70% of Americans have broken the law and a crime serious enough to land them in prison, whether it's something as common as illegally downloading a song. My point is that people shouldn't act "holier than thou" and realize not all crimes are the same. Illegally entering the country to escape drug cartels that cut off people's heads so that you can ensure your children a better life isn't the same as killing someone or committing a violent crime, etc.
THANK YOU 84 LUMBER! You are true patriots and represent the best of our immigrant ideals.
They're promoting a "big beautiful door," in the wall. Hmm, big beautiful door. Where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah, that's a Trump quote, dipshit.
Actually they're promoting America is the land of opportunity. Read the inscription on the Statue of Liberty.
epic. shows that no matter if there's a wall, if you do things right, you're always welcome here.
Patrick Neal if you do things right like come here legally
How does this show any such thing? The door opens up, there is no road, there are no welcoming people, there is no water, food, shelter, or job. The symbolism is either flawed or its meaning is entirely different than what is claimed in the intro.
Rich Dobbs the sun man. You don't see the sun shining on them lighting the way??
Patrick Neal Not really, America tends to only allow in people from asia. Central America is basically next door and they don't really allow them in.
illegally
Who else has family that came from another country to pursue the American dream?
Yes, but not illegally.
presqueisle our ancestors didn't come legally here. so better shut up
presqueisle my father was smuggled here on a truck through Canada. Then he got my mom, sister and me here. We have American citizenship, we pay our taxes, I have a BA and MA and work at one of the most respected finance firms in the country. We didn't come here to steal your jobs -- we came here to make a life and live in peace -- something we couldn't do where we originally came from.
Truchito, our ancestors didn't come here illegally because the Indians never had immigration laws
truchito truchis LOL you fucking fool, they did come over legally. Btw we all have different ancestors, so saying "our" ancestors doesn't make any sense.
How can a nation of immigrants hate immigrants.
We don't, we hate illegal immagrants and terrorists and it's hard to tell them apart from others.
We are a nation of *legal* immigrants
it's illegal immigrants
i dont want to be rude, but america is a terrorist country
not really during the early twenties and thirties a lot of immigrants were undocumented . the customs officials called then displaced persons DP'S, and also without Papers WOP.
but still let them in.
Beautiful filmmaking. It's heart-wrenching to think about the difficult journeys and lengths that some people go to escape the horrors of their countries and strive to be a part of the American dream. "I lift my lamp beside the golden door." America is the land of opportunity, and the fact that it has been that for all people, not just those lucky enough to be born here, is what has made, and does make our country strong, and great.
LA Fresh Life +
And THAT is why we should make the process of legally getting into this country easier. Which is what Trump is doing. Make it easier to get in legally, and harder to get in illegally. Trump's on your side. You just haven't realized it yet.
You are in awe of the story involving the good ones. But you are not taking into consideration the bad ones. What don't you understand about this? I get it. We all do. You want the good ones to have their shot. But this is where logic(Republicans) and emotion(Democrat) collide. You are blinded by the uplifting and sad stories and completely disregarding the bad shit that SOME of these immigrants do. The reason is because you personally have not and never will be effected negatively by a criminal illegal. If you were a part of Kate Steinle's family though, then you would think differently, after she was raped and killed by a man who was living in SF, a sanctuary city, after being deported unsuccessfully 5 times. Wake up. Please wake up.
TwentyPercentDash what steps is trump taking to make legal immigration easier? I don't mean this as sarcastic or as a challenge, I just genuinely haven't heard that and would like to know more!
John Murph
And because of the actions of one man we should condemn an entire ethnic group? Lol, sounds like Facism to me.
People who are commenting that this ad promotes or glorifies illegal immigration missed the point of the ad. The door is there symbolically. It represents the solutions that we have yet to define for the spot we're in with immigration today whereby many people have been here working for some time or were born here, or who are escaping horrors in their home country, and we don't have a workable path to citizenship for them or their parents. The team who built the door represent the hearts and minds of people who value our immigrant heritage and want to enable immigration to continue via workable, sturdy solutions, just as a door is a workable way to pass through a wall. The people in the ad can be any of us ... those who are immigrants themselves or descendants of immigrants, like me, and also people who roll up their sleeves and build solutions, also like me. I believe this ad is intended to:
1. get us to ask ourselves what kind of people and country we want to be ... compassionate and open to new people while also smart enough to keep people safe or people who live inside walls high enough to block out the suffering and the beautiful diversity outside those walls;
and
2. challenge us to think in new ways to find solutions to this complex situation. No one expected that the wall would have a door. What solutions are we not even considering because we're too busy arguing and judging and spewing uninformed views? We're America. We've long been a people of ingenuity and fortitude. If anyone can figure this out, it's us! Let's get to work on real solutions, and keep our country safely welcoming to the diversity of talent and humanity that created the audacious idea of America in the first place. I believe these truths to be self-evident.
Thank you 84 Lumber. ☮️ ✌️️
BreatheFree
84 should not have used that symbolism. Too vague. Maybe if they showed her going to an immigration office and filing the required forms, after she realized there is a wall, would have been better. Also when they show the construction workers, it makes you think they're building the wall to keep her out. But at the end they actually built a door /gate to make it easy for anyone to get in illegally (that's what it seemed to me).
then why not come in legally? promote a video that shows the documenting process of a mother and daughter legally getting in through legal permits and such.
Though we are all humans, but accepting illegal immigrants in is unjustifiable basing on that factor. Then what bout living creatures? Animals entering into a lion's den? should we stop the livelihood of the lion not eating them because cats and dogs just wants a warm cozy environment in the den? If laws are basing on feelings of compassion then what is justice different from revenge. There is a proper way for immigration laws and that was set in place for people to follow.
I agree the problem is complex and the long term solution is not just a wall, however in short term the wall will help american economy and job stability for the citizens. I suggest you may watch this video whereby democrats agree with building the wall /watch?v=JQJlmFqUA8w
#notaamerican
BreatheFree thank you for clarifying that for the people who needed clarification
The door reference Donald Trump's speech that he don't mind having a big beautiful door so people can come in the U.S. legally.
You're full of shit.
I'm American and ALL I want to say about this top is God bless all of you. God bless the immigrants trying to build a better life for their families. God bless everyone going through the real struggle trying to get to a place of freedom and peace. And God bless the people who are too ignorant to see that America is the land of the free and talk crap over the Internet. God be with you all. Peace will win & fear/ignorance/hate will lose.
Brandon Long I believe everyone is tired of the liberal b s referring to illegal immigrants as simply immigrants. if "they" of any nation are here illegally they are illegal immigrants. My great great grandparents came here legally from Ireland trying to make a better life. I do empathize with the Mexican people but they don't have to come here illegally. Nothing is free. Eventually the honey hole is going to dry up.
Carl Bennett I agree completely. Come in legally. It's in the name. Illegal is illegal. All I said is that it's a struggle and they want a better life. But there is a way to get in. And let God be with them through that process.
Are you on Crack.
All political views aside...
Can we just agree this is some good cinematography?
***** ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
NotLance
Yeah it was solid cinematography.
CINEMATOGRAPHY ON POINT
NotLance hellz yeah, beautiful
it's like a movie
It took a lumber company to have the balls to make this commercial. Not sure why everyone is so upset about it though. Everyone is an immigrant or comes from immigrant parents at one point or another.
LosAngeles323
hope they sell wood for the wall
The point is not that we hate immigrants, idk how else to explain. we hate I L L E G A L immigrants. Its against the law. yes everyone has come as an immigrant from another country but most of us has come LEGALLY. its like someone who tried really hard and studied for a test (legal immigrant) while someone else (Illegal Immigrant) just comes along and cheats on the test from the person who studied. getting the same grade but by cheating. Why are we glorifying cheating?
Google User u compared illegal immigrants with cheaters, how are we "Glorifying" cheating?
LosAngeles323 What balls
Because it has a pure political agenda and nothing to do with lumber. Also like 4 other commercials did this so I think you're a little misinformed.
Not sure why this is getting hate, the door was symbolic of them coming in LEGALLY as it says in the description. People love getting angry about things, I guess.
Sorry not buying it. They are clearly portraying the migration of illegal immigrants in this ad.
Vin S absolutely nothing pertaining to their passage to America portrays any form of legal emigration whatsoever. They clearly scraped up whatever they had, hopped on a car, train, etc.,and proceeded to migrate North until they reached the wall. Stop making stuff up.
Vin S The fact that there is a wall is clearly meant to invoke an emotional response.
Most people are just ignorant and hate because thats what they were taught.
I saw a woman make a rough journey putting her daughter in harms way to cross illegally
then I saw a liberal illegally let them across the border without going through the proper procedure
where in this video did you see any paperwork for a green card....the first step to obtain US citizenship
I wonder if at any point in the commercial they show an immigration office or something. A commercial glorifying illegal immigration, what have we come to?
We do not condone illegal immigration. Our story is a symbolic celebration of a journey that ends with becoming legal US citizens.
84 Lumber Oh I see, so the important part was just left out, probably under the guise of "artistic integrity" I bet.
Nate so you're saying the white race is inferior when put into a fair & competitive state and we should somehow protect them?? Sorry it's called capitalism. I have friends whose parents were illegal immigrants, they got no scholarships they worked their way through school and they're now millionaires. If you're poor that's your fault no one else's.
Well said!!!
I don't think anyone that utilizes the term racial Dumping Ground should be calling anyone else sick. Do some self-reflection. You are a racist.
This is actually a work of art!, well done, well done!
Not at all what if I may ask
fenrriho This is not Art of any degree, just political propaganda
It takes some balls for a company to speak out for what they think is right. This is integrity.
Scott Robertson So, Illegal activity is "right?"
CaptainCrape I don't think illegal immigration is right. This ad shows a "big, beautiful door" Trump speaks of that is open to immigrants who come here legally.
Every year thousands of men, women and children die in the deserts of northern Mexico and the US southwest. If there were effective control of that border and all of those people who will die in the "Journey" knew it, they would not set out and would live. 84 Lumber is complicit in the deaths of those people. We cannot call ourselves compassionate if we continue to let this carnage go on. The border fence or wall or whatever you choose to call it absolutely must be built and the laws of the country must be enforced.
Great job saying 'border protection' and 'effective control to make your point. And your comment helps educate the many who seem to forget that Obama/Hillary wanted to build a border barrier. Fence/wall...same principle. It's mind boggling that some just don't get it.
Allen A - with machine gum turrets and land mine fields, and a moat with alligators and piranha, and laser beams and right wing death squad robots
Allen A its a metaphor. even trump has used this metaphor..."a great wall but it will have doors in it". 84lumber is trying to make the point that border control does not mean zero immigration. a point that the left needs to hear as they are panicked.
more security!
84 lumber did not pay for this propaganda
This commercial undermines the process and struggles of immigrating to America legally. My grandparents and parents all went through extreme hardships to come to America. My mom was only 13 and my grandfather was in the Navy. He fought along side Americans in Vietnam with lasting bullet wounds as reminders. On their way to the US my family was forced to stop in numerous countries, faced near starvation, and fought through rough seas on cramped boats just to get here. The stories of hardship my mom has told me of her childhood are endless, but my family went through all this to come to America for a better life, and did so with respect for American laws and customs. My mom now has her Masters degree and is a school teacher. She worked hard getting her and worked hard to make a good living in America. Glorifying coming to America illegally insults both mine and any other families that have struggled through the process to come to this country legally.
So many similarities between what you wrote and what I saw in the video... Does it matter if they traveled on boat vs walking for weeks in the hot sun or is there something I am missing about the hard journey part?
Acewingman my issue is that the commercial is promoting doing so illegally. It doesn't entail the struggles that were also the processing and work to get certified green cards into the country. Granted I didn't write out that part of story so that's my fault. Immigration itself is not bad america is melting pot and it is great because of it, but the immigrants should have enough respect for the country they are wanting to make their new home to do so in accordance to the new countries laws. Getting a visa is the hard way to do it and that's why I'm saying this commercial undermines legitimate immigration. I mean all they had to do was have a small cut in of them signing some papers and the commercial would have a different meaning, but if they did that they would have to fight the issue of being labeled racist. As an ad it a lose lose even though amazingly touching story. The girl making the American flag is adorable and heart wrenching.
Trancedance23 I suppose that is true and I do greatly sympathize with anyone having to fight those issues. That being said is it the job of America to simply void immigration law and allow all who come? Even in spite of immigrant who are not as well mannered? Canada is doing much better then the states in term of illegal immigrants currently and that's because their immigration laws are way more rigorous. Europe is more lenient and currently having an extreme rape epidemic due to large immigration from country's in which raping women isn't demonized. So where the middle ground? Also should America for go it's own internal issues in favor of fixing others? Immigration is a hard topic but I just don't believe glorifying the act of illegally doing so is the right thing to do.
Yea but since they did it legally the mentally ill liberals won't care, or will even see you as a problem. Only when it involves breaking the law do these non thinkers celebrate.
I know right, fuck those kids because other people also had hardships to face.
Idiot.
The people that need to get out of this country is people that are calling immigrants rats and aliens. The comments are disgusting. How can one have so much hatred in their heart. They are humans too. I am literally in tears. This comment section is inhumane.
*Illegal immigrants. People always leave that part out.
Anthony Nguyen ... Nguyen huh. Hmmm.
Anthony Nguyen Illegal or not, they are still humans.
having borders is not inhumane
Ok so say we have our borders open right? All the Mexicans will come here and then America will be worse than Mexico is right now, I mean we are already drowning in debt. If we built a wall however, it would create many American jobs and encourage legal immigration , plus we would become wealthier by making a tax on immigrants. It would help the U.S. as a whole and might even kick start the economy to grow and get us out of debt. But what do I know? I am just an inhumane person who needs to get out of this country.
This comercial made me cry. Beautiful.
Grow up
MUH FEEEEEEEEEEEELS.
Malu Espitia yes
You're easily manipulated.
Malu Espitia you are an idiot
This lady is surprised when she walks up to the border and sees a wall. What makes her feel so entitled that she thinks she should just be able to walk into another country illegally?
Well she probably knew it was open but while on her travels the wall was built
"Although many people think this channel is about the Philippines but it is actually about helping people psychologically wherever they are in the world."
Your youtube channel description and what you actually said here blows my mind. So you only want to help certain people that fit your agenda?
+Travis Kraft What year (approximately, if you don't know) did your ancestors arrive in America?
Read the description, it says they crossed legally
This commercial is astounding. "The will to exceed is always welcome here"
The country was built on Immigrants and it will continue to be! Brave 84 Lumber!
+Michael Baker I see you've been eating your daily dose of Trump propaganda.
Gordon McWilliams This country was built on legal immigration, and before you repeat the Native American argument:
1) Natives weren't united and frequently committed atrocious acts against one another
2)There were no migration laws from any tribe.
3) #2 should tell you how "advanced" the natives were compared to the European counterparts
the country was built on legal immigrants.
The way I see the world is no borders at all. I see it as I am human being that was born on Earth, this is our planet I should be able to go as I please. A citizen of Earth.
I don't think "they're coming for me" I think they're coming here for work! Most illegal immigrants are people who overstayed their visas anyway.
The fear mongering Trump has proposed is unnecessary. He has you guys thinking everyone is out to get you and I promise they're not. But demagoguery is powerful.
Gordon McWilliams I like optimism as well, but a dose of reality from time to time is more constructive.
Tell me, did the colonists of the 17th century come in here LEGALLY when they took land from Native Americans?
Tell me, were their border laws in the 17th century? What stopped Russia from annexing North America? No, but in your logic, open borders killed off the Native Americans, and if our borders are opened, we will be killed off as well. Think next time faggot.
hooligan got ya brah, if the Indians had a wall they'd still have America!
123hooligan
By my logic, you can't bitch about people coming in here illegally when this entire country was built upon taking land from Native Americans.
Coltsrock56 You do realize that no one from the 17th century thought America didn't exist and it was really the standard of taking over lands during that time
the natives were killing other natives. fact. life isn't and never was a fucking tea party, dip shit. they lost the game they were playing to a more powerful group of people. cry.
Sometimes I sit and think about how good of a life I have and my parents have provided for me. It's an amazing thing to have a true home let alone a life to live without fear. These people should be helped, not everyone is bad. We need to fix this issue and stop judging based on race and nationality.
Please excuse my spelling errors
Beautiful.
I want to say one more thing to whoever is reading this. I appreciate when people help people like me. But when there is others in this world that can use this help more than me, help them. That girl has probably encountered more problems in 10 years than most have in a lifetime. My point is that we can't keep ignoring this problem, this does not stand for me! They work so hard and do so much and go through so much and get treated as they do. They are people just like us Americans and we have to treat them as though they are.
Maid Of Heart413 So it's wrong to point out the obvious! We can't support the world's problems!
Maid Of Heart413 Then you take in as many as you can and give them the " emotional and stuff" support you think they should have! Set an example for the rest of us!
Fun fact: Trump said he was going to build a door for people to come in *LEGALLY*
Look it up.
Ananymouse 30 so many fun facts.
Ananymouse 30 Fun fact it's not as easy to become legal as it is to complain about people coming in illegally
Go complain to the person who told you it would be easy to come here illegally.
Ananymouse 30 is this true or a alternative fact
Jk
BAHAHAHA😂
Why don't they just come threw the border legally
ArmyGaming because the legal immigration system is broken...and until it is fixed they'll still come here illegally which is sad
Deebo Molina while it is broken, they won't come here legally unless everyone is legally allowed to do so. That will never happen
Deebo Molina They should just wait to be accepted.
People spend years trying and waiting only to get denied the people who do get through are the people with money and I think we all know who has a lot of money in Mexico
If you're going to live in the U.S., learn English. The word is "through."
SAY IT LOUD, SAY IT CLEAR. IMMIGRANTS ARE WELCOMED HERE ❤
Emily Chavira yes
Emily Chavira *legal immigrants
LEGAL immigrants are welcome here, yes.
no i meant all immigrants are welcomed here. people are coming for a better life and we shouldn't stop them.
the world doesn't work like that. no country just lets everyone in, no questions asked. illegally crossing the border is not only a crime in and of itself, but how do you think guns, drugs, and PEOPLE (for slavery) are transported in and out of the country under the radar?
they dodge the screening process.
I've never heard of your company, but I'll be damned if you can't make a damn fine commercial.
My wife came into the United States 🇺🇸 legally. We had to wait years to get approval but we did everything legally.
Neither Of us support illegal immigration.
God for you ! your wife should be glad you had the opportunity to do it legally,
let me inform you that not everyone has that privilege.
While Donald Trump burns bridges...84 LUMBER will be right there to built them back up! Thanks for this brave and heart breaking commercial 84!
M VGA Uhm what? So illegal immigration is good? Is that what your saying?
M VGA so its fine to break the law? while others come here legally? There is a reason you have locks on your door to your house to keep ppl out who illegally want to come in and you have no clue who they are
But liberals are the ones burning and destroying property...
Sherry Culbertson except telling a mom and daughter they cant march bc they where trump supporters. or the fact they left the trash in the streets.
Sherry Culbertson not one arrest or act of violence you heard of and it wasn't millions
The number of racist xenophobic trolls commenting on this embarrasses me and should embarrass all Americans. Where did you come from?!! The mother and daughter's linage in the commercial have been in the area longer than any of us. The laws you are all referencing were created after the people who lived here were annihilated and another was kidnapped and force into enslaved labor. Shame on you all! Have compassion.
Jabari Osaze if you want to be around them so bad then how about you go to Mexico? We have enough uncivilized 3rd worlders here already.
benjamin olsen Your ignorant response barely warrants my time. Back under your bridge, troll ...
Jabari Osaze It's funny that most of the people in the comments don't realize that Mexicans and immigrants from all around end up doing the jobs Americans don't want to do anyway
Jabari Osaze MEXICANS ARE EUROPEAN MIX JUST LIKE WHITES MIXED WITH NORTH AMERICAN NATIVES. YOUR A FOOL
NeonArrow12 NOT TRUE. THEY LET PEOPLE THAT HAVE MONEY PAY THEM CHEAPER THAN THEY SHOULD BE PAID. MANY AMERICANS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A FAIR PRICE. IT'S GREEDY PEOPLE WHO BENEFITS FROM ILLEGALS
BEAUTIFUL. There will always be a place here for them, no matter how high the wall.
Well it looks like they weren't able to make it over the wall so I think they are trying to say it's an effective measure!
Buuuuut they didn't get through.
Send there asses back
jrockchocolate
Are you going to pay for them, you stupid shit? You think money grows on trees? Grow a fucking brain!!!
jrockchocolate put them in yoyr house n feed them with your tax dollars
Watch Mark Dice version of this
Haraldr I hate that guy
+Hi Hi lemme guess... CNN is much more trustworthy?
Mark Dices Version of this was epic. He nailed it,
If you hate Mark Dice you probably belong on the other side of the wall.
That's what brought me here actually.
This comment is for people who dislike this video...
Your family heritage did not begin in the united states that's a fact in
your time of need righteousness did not discriminate against you and
for the record you will never win the challenge of your own negative
actions on a positive level many have tried and painfully failed keep
thinking otherwise and your actions will teach you a lesson you will
never forget when you least expect it in your time of need! you need to
learn a history lesson about your own family take a DNA test on Ancestry
23andme or familytreedna then you will learn the fact that you are
related to the people you learned to hate by choice! i have a DNA 4
generation cousin who is white from Texas he is 89 years old looks like
the whitest white man you ever seen and you would say our common
ancestor is white and you would be very wrong because the common
ancestor that connects us is Black! so next time before you hate and
judge others do your own homework on your own family history you been
carrying it around in your DNA your whole life also for the record being
sick in the hospital waiting on donor list for a life saving organ is
not disgusting let that sink in the next time you feel the need to
discriminate against someone...
Stan Williams
For fuck's sake.
That was 500 years ago, when the US was undiscovered and Europeans settled here. There were no borders. There was no country. Once the borders were set in place, and the country started to grow, immigration laws were put into place to both protect the country and regulate its citizens.
Trying to guilt trip anti-illegal immigrationists into accepting your way of thought is disgusting. Because the thing about illegal immigration is that it is FUCKING *ILLEGAL*. They can come legally for all we care, but if they want to get in illegally, send them back. Fucking liberals just can't understand law.
Thanks for proving my point and thank the people you love for not truly loving you to point you in the right direction in your life journey you don't faze me one bit your own negative actions will never show you any positive loyalty ever the knowledge tree of good and evil you survived on your entire life stole your life from you you gave your best years of your life to the knowledge tree of good and evil so when the time comes when you r in need of righteousness it will not support you in no wise good luck with your self made snare...
Mine begins in Ireland and England. Moves to Canada and intermingles with the locals of the time period and eventually legally immigrates to the US. Don't assume everyone came over on a slave ship please.
Run on sentences are hard to read. Try punctuation.
Remember that in your time of need today and the future there is only 2 teams to play for in your life time Righteousness and Unrighteousness in your time of need remember that! because if you don't your negative actions will remind you of this fact when you least expect it...
I don't get it, what's stopping them from entering the country the legal way? The fact they might have to put some effort and hard work into it instead of just being the best cross country runner?
Grumar S do some research
Plenty of other Mexicans, along with just about every other nationality come in the legal correct way, I don't care if something is hard, if you want something you work at it, you don't break the law just because it's easier, it's way easier to get money if I just rob a bank, but I don't cause I'm not a criminal.
Grumar S Go to Mexico. Not the resort towns like Cabo and Cancun but actual Mexico. People are poor and stay poor until the day they die. The only ones that can afford to come here legally are the ones who have money and no urgency to get out. Trust me. No would risk their lives and leaving everything they own behind if it weren't for a better life.
People don't have money
Most of the world is poor, doesn't mean they should all move to America, you should deal with where you're born, like it or not.
i really don't know why this was controversial this was beautiful
K Ish 84 Lumber is saying those willing to succeed at entering the country illegal are welcome here. That is the controversy.
God gave u ten Well our ancestors came here illegally and they succeeded and look what came out of it. A country.
Yom From Guam now we are a country of laws so your point is?
No it's the opposite. It's about legal immigrants. The description talks about it
because it APPEARS that they are promoting illegal immigration simply for the depiction of the wall. to certain people, the mere mention of trump or anything associated with him is a hair trigger.
All I know is the wall just got 10 feet taller!
Adam springfield yep and 10 million more dollars wasted
And the American tax payer will pay for it.
and we're not putting in a door!
Adam springfield ! Ok buddy whatever you say
Peter Griffin Tunnels happen
They did everything,
Except immigrating legally
Its not like getting a visa requires a shit load of money and time which they clearly got
iKentSpell "I can't afford to move to Beverley hills but give me a mansion for free anyways because I want it"
TyDominoGuy fuck off
Killer Poultry Technically it wasn't illegal because there weren't any laws in place at the time so yes it was legal.
TyDominoGuy yeah because white folk legally killed millions of native Americans and told them they couldn't live on their land because it was "legally " now under White control . Laws are bullshit meant to keep sheep under control . Don't be a sheep !
M. Night Shymalan twist. The wall they get to was actually Mexicos southern border wall with Guatemala.
There's no wall there. That was a fake meme
And even if it had been real, we shouldn't be awful to our neighbors just because we see other countries being awful to their neighbors.
Yeah. I love how Conservatives always compare us to shitty countries when we're trying to be best country.
That's fake news, you moron.
BruizerBlue Mexico has no border wall nice try tho
I don't get it...are they not illegal?
I'm sorry but if you're not going to enter the country legally then you should not be allowed here. Sob story or not you have to abide by the law.
Crimson Rain yeah I'd love to see you be in their position
Methan Unt
Mate this isn't about being in anyone's position. *NO ONE* from any country should be allowed here if they cannot enter it legally.
It often takes years to come to America legally. When people live in bad conditions it as often the best choice to come here illegally.
Oh yes, the people living in dire conditions and mass violence should just wait four years to go through the process of legalization. I'm sure they've got time.
Jebus Chrust Are you saying all of Mexico/South America is a horrible place full of violence? Basically uninhabitlable?
We should find more ways to be kind to one another.
Amanda McKenzie thank you for your comment, it's a sad day when people value a stolen land more than humans
danielangel vega. But we are putting a value on U.S. citizens lives, that should naturally come first over legal or illegal immigration.
Amanda McKenzie translation: hand over more of your tax money to illegal immigrants.
You just insulted me and called me a bigot. isn't that everything you stand against. Hypocrite.
You are probably an atheist. Lol. #SafeSpaceSnowflake
*looks at comments* Damn...damn...When you thought the country was ALL LOVING and OPEN ARMS. Fuck, I'm genuinely cringing at the lack of empathy that all Americans have. I thought this country would be the bigger man. Fuck this.
Ignore "Edgy" sheep on TH-cam trying to be sarcastic assholes. Thankfully TH-cam comments are not an actual reflection of real society.
reverbedvonacular Well it seems that a large amount of the American population thinks that illegal immigration is not good. I mean, we elected Donald Trump and he stood by that. So it kind of does seem like a good reflection.
Tha Produca *white American first but it is what it is
sugar water sorry the world isn't gumdrops and butterflies. You sheltered millennial fuck.
Trump did win....
I lived 3 miles from this wall most of my life. My late Brother Jimmy and I would snake hunt right up to the wall. We where right where the wall ends in the Pacific Ocean. We saw imagrants crossing everyday. I will never forget seein Mothers carrying infants being followed by little children crossing frightened and running from the border patrol. Hunted down like dogs. I would see Little boys no more than 10 years old hiding in the bushes, making the crossing all alone. A couple time we gave these frightned kids all alone rides to the trolley because we new it was the right thing to do.I worked and lived with these people and never 1 time ever had a problem stealing work from me are doing crimes. They are hard workers just want an opporturnity at a better life the same as all of us. Dont be afraid of what you dont know. They are not the boogie man. in 1890 my Great Grandparents immagrated From Germany to Russia then Saw the Lady in New York. We are all Immagrants! Thats right I said it.
Our nation was built on immigrants not illegal aliens. Also look at what happened to the native Americans. We stole their homes their life their freedom. We need to make sure th same fate won't come to us
Samuel Anderson
The natives would say otherwise. This country was founded on genocide by illegal aliens.
Lovely comment, Bob. We are a country that offers hope. We must stay that way.
IAteFire That is not really the truth though since 90+% of all indigenous peoples deaths in the Americas was due to disease. So no matter what they were going to die.
karma unless we work to change our ways
The will to succeed is ALWAYS welcome in my America.
Vinzenz Ul remember when we came to America illegally and commited mass genocide. America was built on illegal immigration
You mean the will to collect welfare?
hey while were at it..remember when dinosaurs walked the earth?
Illegals aren't welcome in America.
I guess that's why we made laws to keep that from happening ever again. Your point is invalid
Too bad illegal immigration is illegal. Come here LEGALLY and we're happy to have you, don't break the law. Good thing they came through the gate at the end, though, if that's symbolic of legally coming in.
Breiten Sundra Read the description, this video is about legal immigration :)
Harry Echtman Good thing, I support it 100% and I'm not sure why this was too controversial to be shown. They're legal, and the kid obviously wants to be American.
Breiten Sundra Yah if it was that easy to come in legally then all of them would, but it isn't it would take a least a decade for the person trying to immigrate to America to be able to get a visa. It's practically impossible for them to come in to this country without having family living in the US that are citizens, or having a degree of higher education. LEGAL IMMIGRATION IS NOT EASY. You have to have sympathy for them.
Breiten Sundra you're honestly dumb
+Alibi Mike To understand how truly un-American U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration ban is, how out of step with the country’s best values, consider the story of his hometown.
For the first two centuries after its founding, writes George Washington University professor Tyler Anbinder in his 2016 book City of Dreams: The 400-Year Epic History of Immigrant New York, newcomers didn’t go through any checks at all. They needed no passport, no visa. Even after doctors began boarding ships to examine them for disease around the time of the American Revolution, the immigrants “simply walked off their ships and onto the streets of New York to begin their new lives in America.”
When New York finally set up its first immigrant depot, Castle Garden at the southern tip of Manhattan, it was not to protect Americans from potentially dangerous newcomers but to protect the newcomers from potentially dangerous Americans. Touts and thugs had been preying on the confused arrivals as they disembarked at the docks. Castle Garden funnelled them to one place, where police could keep watch.
Eventually, authorities replaced Castle Garden with the famous clearing house on Ellis Island, now a popular museum. It saw its first arrival in 1892, when 17-year-old Annie Moore arrived from Queenstown, Ireland. By then, the United States had introduced the first real curbs on open immigration, barring paupers, polygamists, Chinese labourers, the mentally ill and those with “loathsome” illnesses.
Still, most of the millions who arrived at Ellis Island passed through successfully in just a few hours. The museum says only about 2 per cent were denied entry to the United States, often because they were carrying a contagious disease. First- and second-class ship passengers didn’t have to go to Ellis Island at all.So the idea that the country should treat immigrants as inherently suspicious, much less subject them to Trump-style “extreme vetting,” is pretty new in historical terms. It is a distinctly modern notion that every nation is a watertight compartment that must be sealed against threatening new arrivals to prevent it from foundering.
It was only after the First World War that U.S. authorities began to suppress mass immigration in earnest. As Dr. Anbinder points out in his timely book, the war churned up suspicion of foreigners. In the postwar Red Scare, fuelled by the Russian Revolution, police rounded up foreign-born communists and other suspected radicals. Legislation in 1921 and 1924 cut back sharply on the number of immigrants permitted to enter from eastern and southern Europe. Building on earlier limits on Chinese, Japanese and other Asians, the new laws signalled that the United States was turning away “from its historic role as an asylum for the world’s huddled masses.”
The latest immigrants, it was said, were simply too foreign to make good Americans. Many Americans came to see them as a shadowy fifth column - clannish, disloyal and a danger to American security. Weren’t many of those anarchists Jews or Italians? Must not most Jews and Italians therefore be anarchists or anarchist sympathizers?
“Immigration of this character is invasion, and invasion means conquest,” the Chicago Tribune said. “For America, shut the gates.”
The echoes in today’s headlines are unmistakable. When Mr. Trump decreed Washington would slap a temporary ban on refugees and block the entry of people from seven mainly Muslim countries, his executive order said that “The United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles.”
All of this has happened before. In colonial New York, it was the Catholics who were supposed to be a threat to American security, because they would ally with Britain’s Catholic foes. Later it was the Irish, still later the Germans. In its moving new Super Bowl ad, Budweiser reminds Americans of the danger and hostility newcomers like the brewery’s co-founder Adolphus Busch had to overcome.
“Yet prior to the 2016 election campaign,” Dr. Anbinder says, “no prominent member of any American political party … ever proposed banning an entire ethnic or religious group from immigrating to the United States because of the sins of a few of the group’s members.”
In his own twisted way, Mr. Trump is making history.

Some people think immigrating "legally" is just a matter of filling out forms. Yes, if you can prove you are investing more than $500,000 in the U.S. (EB-5 program). Otherwise, you are out of luck..
Franco Exactly, just that you can contribute to society.
You are referring to non-immigrant visas. Immigrant visas are much more difficult - sometimes virtually impossible - to obtain. See here travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/all-visa-categories.html
Yes, most countries have requirements for immigrating legally, many of them more stringent than that of the United States. But it would be surprising if any had an identical prerequisite (down to the figure?)
How many things that you don't like in your own country have you been able to fix? Do you think you can bring it out of a recession or decrease the unemployment rate?
SO just make your country great like American's made America and the problem is solved...
I'd just like to say, if immigrants (legal and illegal) have an undying love for the united States to the extent I do, you're welcome here
Tucker Ecke if illegals had a love for our country they would pay taxes like the rest of us
Mark Bauer true, which is why there should be a path to citizenship. That'd be an astounding boost in taxes for our government, deporting them only causes harm for everyone involved
Mark Bauer The thing about illegals paying taxes is not true. Yes there are some that don't pay taxes but many do. I have family members that are illegal that pay taxes. Do your research buddy, have a nice day.
Mark Bauer, lots of illegals pay taxes, however our own president does not.
because fuck the laws, right? let's just bring in 10 million unemployed people into the country. That can only help our economy, I'm sure.
I'm watching the game, and this commercial affected me enough to go see the full version. My immigrant family story is my maternal great-grandmother came on the last ship leaving Austria before WWI, with 7 children including a baby. One of the children was sick, which meant the whole family would be sent back. It's unknown what she did, but it
was great enough that they passed through. Joining her husband, she had one more child, named Sam, what some people now call an anchor baby.
We have plenty of space for refugees, both social and economical.
that's why we have millions of homeless military veterans. because we can just support everyone, right?
times were different back then. we don't have unlimited space.
No, it's because the Republican Congress blocked everything to help the VA Dept.
Trump has cost us over $12 million in extra security for his family in NYC because his wife doesn't want to live with him at the White House. So why don't you insist he pull security from NYC and spend the money on VA Dept.?
Marsia Powers "because his wife doesn't want to live with him" Uhm try again, she's waiting for Baron to finish school so they can both move to the White House together, fact check and use logic.
That's the formal story first sent out, she's not expected to move to Washington even after. $6million+ a week, if that's the real reason, the kid can finish school in Washington or Trump family should pay the tab.
Why do people comment on illegal immigration when they no nothing about it? Like if you actually knew what it was like to be an illegal immigrant I bet you would change your mind. I understand it's bad and illegal, but not everyone is allowed legally into this country by asking. I wish some people would have a little bit of compassion.
This ad was amazing!
So when is the family of illegal immigrants you will be housing, feeding, and clothing coming over?
Getan Ala They did, plenty of them.
Maria A. yess you go girl :)
Matteo C Great comment! Insulting someone for having a different opinion to yours.... Just goes to show what kind of person you are.
Maria A. My family were Germans who came legally during world war I. Then we went back out to fight in world war II. If we could do it legally everyone else can.
Stupidity, and laziness is not an excuse!
Leaching off of others tax money is always welcome to 84 lumber
Kertney whose leeching off tax money. my husband is illegal yet has a working permit and pays taxes. as do most do. and illegals cannot get benefits or welfare.
cookiemunster28 then there is literally no reason he can't become legal. My family did it. Go to any other country illegally and you'll be kicked out.
Kertney cookie muster I think you need to read some more. To come here lagally is very hard. You need to show you have properties, a lot of money safe, doctors notes etc etc. These people are poor so there is no way to could get here by doing all of this requirements let alone to buy a plane ticket.
Cristina Pike cookiemunstet says her husband is here and working. I know the process of coming here legally, as I am the first gen American out of my family. My mothers family were dirt poor coming from Canada. If they could do it, there is no reason for anyone else to. You can't go to another country and get benefits like you can here, you'd be deported anywhere else. So if you want to come here, you better live by the laws.
cookiemunster28 many do get welfare, illegally.
How dare a sovereign nation secure it's borders.
Hanvin Gavnah What is wrong with wanting to keep our country secure. We need to think about our country first before those from another one.
Top Speed Karting sarcasm maybe?
I used to believe in "sarchasm." Then I took an arrow to the knee.
I KNOW!! How dare they try and protect themselves from potentially opening the door to their enemies! Ridiculous! ** Yes, this is more sarcasm **
Their children and grandchildren aren't immigrants, they are Americans. If you aren't the member of your family you entered this country you are not an immigrant. We are a diverse nation of Americans with an immigrant minority.
The first colonists (some these "proud" Americans ancestors), they come into a land that is not theirs. They settle here on the Americas, and slowly start to take over the continent. Killing the people that already inhabited this land. But you people are proud of everything that your ancestors did, weather it was killing innocent people whose only wrong doing was living on this land. You're even proud of slavery.
You were so "brave" to do such terrible things, and now you're scared. You're scared that other people might harm you. You go to war and you try to protect everything that has been built on the blood of innocent people.
I understand your fear, but I don't understand your hatred.
I could go on, but I know that I'm not going to change anything, it's just a waste of time. Because the fact is, that racism is very much alive in America, just disguised as concerned "Americans" that "love" the law and "care" about the economy. You know who you are, and you are a sad person. Educate yourself.
P.S. Don't even bother leaving your hateful comments. I'm not going to read them.
Antonio Not all Indians where so innocent. Alot of innocent europeans where killed and scalped. Stop being such a beta male.
+Antonio Man, I feel very very bad for you. I, too, had lost faith in humanity a while ago, because of what I thought of Americans. But you're so close-minded it's insane. There are some amazing people out there doing some amazing things, and yet you're here, on youtube, complaining about all the faults of others, calling them pathetic when you really need to look at yourself. At your own morals, and maybe, just maybe, you could accept another person.
1. Do you live here? Since you repeatedly say "you Americans"
2. You just basically said every American feels that which is extremely false.
3. You aren't making a point or anything you are just saying random false statements.
4. You are declaring a few peoples opinions as fact which is not right.
5. WHAT IS YOUR POINT!?
Antonio
Thank you 84 Lumber! You have earned a new customer! I am a 5th generation (middle of the road Republican) American and believe in helping those less fortunate then us and those who have hope for having a better life. It is just that, that built this great country!
Thank You, 84 Lumber! Diversity is our strength.
It's your undoing. Remember what I said when you've been victimized.
I'm sorry, but I disagree. The United States was founded on diversity---to be a melting pot. It hasn't always been easy---we've often marginalized the latest new group---from the Irish to the Italians, now to Mexicans and Muslims, but we do a better job of assimilating our immigrants into the fabric of our country than any other in the world. Diversity only breeds discord when we don't open our arms to welcome others and learn from their experiences. I'm a white male with friends of all colors and creeds---their experiences and views enrich my life and do make us stronger as a country. The other countries you mention were not founded on being a country of immigrants and a melting pot. The United States was and this diversity and these principles are what have made us the most powerful country in the world. Far from being forced on us, it was our choice as a nation and it's why people want to move here, rather than the countries you listed.
www.onedayonly.co.za/blog/?post=this-danish-tv-ad-is-literally-the-best-weve-ever-seen-300
Tony Hain It really was not, it was founded by settlers not immigrants.
and the difference?
Are you kidding me, an ad promoting people to break the law!! If they want to convey a positive story of immigration they should have showed them getting their citizenship and being proud that they came to this country the right way. I'm not racist or against immigration for anywhere, but do it the right way and not against the law. Apply to be a citizen and enter the U.S. the right way!
The Accountant wouldn't entering the big beautiful door that Trump said would be in his wall for legal immigrants be symbolic of legal immigration?
The Accountant nope, your Mr president breaks the law. the Constitution is most important than the president.
what do you think about this? is most important: the Constitution or some migrants?
I'm not American, I'm Italian but I know that the real Americans are natives. are you a native? :) peace, and see you soon there. :)
francesco pizzolon president Trump doesn't break the law, his 120 day stop of immigration from the 7 countries Obama chose, is absolutely constitutional
ProCharliee the Federal judge has thought differently. :)
Yes, he didn't watch the whole thing.
I teared up when she pulled that flag out of her bag. ❤
legally is the key word.
And Mexico has no money????Or jobs????Come on...We have laws!!Legally come here.So tell me why should these people jump in front of the line??You can't-OBEY the Laws of my Country.
Robert Muir Did your ancestors come here legally when they came from Europe and killed millions of real American indigenous people???
Manny Morales yes they did. Because they didn't have any immigration laws. That worked out well.
Then ur thief's and the non respectable kind .....So don't cry when others don't care about ur laws, considering they still feel it's their land.
+Robert Muir Please keep your gun pointing toward the ground.
To understand how truly un-American U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration ban is, how out of step with the country’s best values, consider the story of his hometown.

After reading these comments I have no faith for humanity
Matteo C my point exactly
Saira H he's been commenting rude things to everyone, don't mind him 💘💘
Saira H Oh you poor thing, welcome to Earth.
Dumbass!
And Americans will have do social security or welfare for it's own if they keep allowing another countries poor to just walk in our country and bleed government services that belong to our poor, our veterans our elderly. Don't feel sorry at all for them, they have a country. Let their country take care of them.
Immigrants are welcome as long as they come LEGALLY and pay taxes to uncle sam...Go through the right process and enjoy the privilege. Thats why I voted for Trump! I love my motherland Philippines and I love America. Obey the rules or gtfo. All these people do is complain and complain instead of praying for the President and for the success of this great country. BTW, Im an immigrant and waited 23 years to come here LEGALLY yet some people complain??. smh.
pinoyboy fernandez our dumb fuck of a new president didn't even pay taxes, shut the fuck up.
Crimson Rain entering legally is not easy. Not everyone is approved for visas or passports, not everyone makes as much as you do.. there are people who make less than $25 a day. Applications are not easy. If you were unfortunate enough to have been born in poverty, you would know how much you would do for a future for your family. Stop being selfish, the 'illegal' immigrants are the ones doing the jobs you don't want to do. You want 15 hour for fast foods, for they are happy with minimum wage because with minimum wage, they can live a simple life. They don't have to work their asses off because they were not privileged enough to have been born in a middle class society. They were not privileged enough to get a decent free education. Put on their shoes and think about what you would do. They pay taxes, trust me they do, and they don't ask for refunds, therefore they don't get the money back. Your president avoid taxes, what would Uncle Sam say about that?
Funny how you all claim him using the loopholes is such a terrible thing.
But no one raises an eyebrow at the democrats that created those loopholes.
pinoyboy fernandez like trump does ???
actually...fun fact Undocumented immigrants contribute 12 billion dollars In taxes every year.....
if someones willing to go through all this to come to the us then they deserve to be citizens
WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL you pick a shorter name?
WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL no if they go through the correct process, then they deserve to be a citizen.
If that was the case, the vast majority of people on this Earth would become U.S. citizens.
Hell, regardless of where you were born, if it was that easy to become a U.S. citizen why WOULDN'T you move to where the average income is $55k? Society and any type of welfare state cannot sustain unlimited immigration.
That's why the border has to be walled and secure before the reformed path to citizenship can even be discussed.
overpopulation.
Nattalia Rivas You ever drive down the U.S. highways. We have the space.
I'm so happy for the amount of likes this video has, it's great to a know a population of people still are human.
Outstanding. Powerful. Courageous. Commercial advertising at its very best.Thank you, 84 Lumber! I wish every one of us sitting in our comfortable homes or favorite pubs during Super Bowl broadcast could have seen this.
Thanks 84 Lumber. I enjoyed the ad. It was very heartfelt...and I would love to know more about the Mother and Daughter journey. There are even more struggles once they've made it past the wall. This ad had some meaning to me. My Grandparents on my Mother's side of the family are immigrants from Mexico. Thank God there wasn't a wall then....or my Mom never would have met my Dad. Who, by the way has immigrant grandparents from Sweden. Unless you are an American Indian born on these lands then you all have Grandparents or even Parents who are immigrants.
Good points. I assume 'the wall' is a metaphorical reference. The Democrats wanted a fence, Republicans want a wall. Same principle.
And you're right...all Americans are descended from immigrants/migrants. This includes Native Americans and Native Mexicans... when you think of our species in the proper evolutionary/global-migration terms.
i showed my mother this commercial and it made her tear up because she made the exact same journey as the mother and daughter did. this was a beautiful commercial and i'm glad it was made, hopefully some people will change their minds on wanting a wall put up
Alexis D. This commercial is about LEGAL immigration.
Illegal immigration
Sharon Shupe shut yo ass up
This vid gets me every time had to come watch it again
Me 2
For all my conservative Christian friends; I invite you to read the Bible:
Leviticus 19:33-34
33 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
-God.
***** I don't believe in God but here you go.
Acts 5:29. -> States that God's law is above men's law.
@Juan
The Americans have done that, if they haven't, the immigrants would not mentioned about America's greatness about good treatment of foreigners. They foreigners comes in uninvited. You have to be legally invited in, because that will be called home invasion. That is against God's law.
"You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:17)
Mary Cross God's law is explicit. And his law is above any law made by humans.
Same could've been said about Europeans conquering the Americas, after all, they were uninvited. But I don't want to get into that argument since it's so overused.
Mary Cross Plus, the country doesn't belong to only people that think your way. It also belongs to people who support illegal immigrants who try to pursue the American Dream. That Bible verse doesn't work here, it's a faulty analogy.
You really have to consider the different opinions.
***** I read them but I already proved to you that according to the Bible men's law is not above God's law so that verse doesn't apply here.
Thank you guys for putting something on the Superbowl that was actually well directed and had a good meaning.
For all those saying why not come the "legal way?" Well that argument went out the door when Trump decided to also not let in people with visas. That was the "legal" way. So again not relevant anymore.
Jess Cenobio Well said!
Jess Cenobio THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT
when did he revoke the Visa of Mexico?
They didn't. Just a bunch of scum trying to justify breaking the law.
EXACTLY people are just too far up trumps ass to realize
my opinion on the subject is that, we came here and took the land from the Indians. then we called it ours and now we're not letting others come in without permission? it's ridiculous. "land of the free" bullshit.
Sherry Seibert
Settler: a person who settles in an area, typically with no or few inhabitants
Immigrant: a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.
USA USA Dude! We came to live in a foreign country that others inhabited! We used to live in Britain, we chose to leave like the people in Mexico do. Only difference is we didn't have a wall stopping us.
Sherry Seibert: Go back to Britain, if you don't understand the definition of ILLEGAL!
the indians came through the Bearing strait they are not native either :)
Sherry Seibert You do realize every nation has laws against illegal immigration right? Do you know what illegal immigration is?
I don't know what's worse. This sob story, or the fact that 84 Lumber is deleting all comments from people who didn't like this sob story.
George Costanza yeah stop fucking lying
Who's lying? This is a video with 8 million views and roughly 600 comments. When I wrote this 2 hours ago there were only 70 comments. A couple hours from now when the poor chap who needs to sort this shit out gets back from his break I can guarantee you there will be less than 600 again.
Also note the disparity between the comments that were allowed to survive and the like bar.
with a piece of shit like you, that poor chaps' job is that much harder to do
George, I think the sob story is worse. I'll bet this ad was finished and 'in the can' before the election. Just like the Budweiser ad on the immigration topic. So.. let's try to imagine the comment section if Hillary had won?..
Funny I scrolled down and seen a few that got plenty of likes.... liar.
i cried 😭😭😭
You need to be deported
And then you kept watching, right?
Jeep LJ ARIZONA nah bruh when you actually lived through this like i did its not funny
Ricardo Aschle that wall is not going to keep anyone out!!!!!
Brown and proud
The wall just got 10 feet higher.
Mexicans are good at digging tunnels too
Make America Great Again with fracking water probably.
***** Mexicans will dig deeper!
The wall just got 10 feet deeper.
But you saw they walked through what's called a "door"
hi. my name is Miguel Davíd Gonzalez and I am a legal immigrant from Mexico. I believe in the American dream. So do many other people from Mexico....but the truth is, even though I did everything right, everything the way the system says I should do and everything I could to become a citizen....why should these people get the same thing even though I did everything I was supposed to? Why is it that people are ignoring the voices of those who came here like respectful people! why is it that I had to work hard for my citizenship but those who come to this country ILLEGALLY get to have citizenship? why can't my family who is still in mexico trying to get in America. why are these people more important than the people who did it legally. please tell me
michael You're name is Michael you lying shit
Cream Of Weber oh my god it's about illegals trying to get into the country.
Cream Of Weber and I should be saying life isn't fair to yoy
And it costs nothing
KatanNamedSimon I like to go by Michael. Next time ask before jumping to conclusions
If any immigrants are watching, you are welcomed into America by smart, educated, caring, HUMAN BEINGS.
Mike Wazowski as long as they immigrate legally. If illegally, then they can fuck off back to where they came from.
Shame on 84 Lumber for glorifying breaking the law
My parents waited their whole life to move to America from Ethiopia and their agents illegal immigration
It just happens that we're on short supply of those lately.
Mike Wazowski
You are welcomed but you must come here legally!
Illegal immigrants should never be allowed into the country when they do it the wrong way!
life is so short, why waste your precious time hating other people.
Hate has nothing to do with it.
Why waste all that time supporting illegals while that money can help other americans?
RedX165 Because people who aren't Americans are people and we care about those people. If they want to come to America, to live the American dream, they should be welcomed with open arms
AbstractTheClassAct people hate it natural
We don't hate immigrants, we just want them to follow the law. Don't be stupid and stop making a straw man out of Trump supporters. I'm not even a Trump supporter and I understand the situation. Not all Trump supporters are racist assholes, in fact very few of them are.
Jesus Christ! The amount of hate people have in this comment section is disgusting.
I know...I've never seen so many people who hate America so much they're willing to let it be overrun like that.
If you import Mexicans, you get Mexico. They are not "fleeing" crime and corruption--they are bringing it with them.
jeebs621 ikr 😒 Imagine though if America was being bombed, wouldn't you want to immigrate to a safer environment 😔
Conflicting political opinions; it brings out the worst in us.
jeebs621, you mean the amount of common sense that people have disgusts you... typical snowflake
Actually jeebs621's use of Jesus' name here was not used in vain but very appropriately considering that Jesus Christ taught against hate more than anything.
Good Job team 84 Lumber, the will to success is a natural right from God!
make a commercial show The Mexican people going back to their country and fighting for rights in their own country
Just like most countries they have issues. Crossing Borders illegally and coming in undocumented is against the law I'm just saying there should be massive protesters in Mexico fighting for rights for the people. robbing a bank is wrong but because I need the money makes it right .
That means your family is weak as well for leaving their country of origin.
That means everybody who lives in America is weak because it's a country of immigrants. Only the Native Americans actually belonged here and they were treated like shit.
Dennis D-mo Moore 🖕🏻
Whats funny about this is that the US will go overseas and try to help other countries get their politics in line, while Mexico is the US neighbor and the US does nothing for it, why? Because the US couldn't care less if people are dying, there's no oil for the US to take.
I'm Mexican and I came in legally 🙄
Wicked Googly That's a right way. I came to this country in legally, my stepfather spent a lot of money to bring to my mom and me. We work hard to get the money back. Therefore I think all inmigrants want to come this country must do it in legally so avoid being deported and have a good life.
Wicked Googly shut yo lying a** up lol
You're better of in Mexico
Wicked Googly Why can't anyone else do the same?!
god for you? want a cookie? seems like you have some self hate there, you think youre better for it? well youre not
If you are legal, we are glad to have you.
If you are not, you got to go back.
LOLthisfun No, not at all. And the taking of North America by Europeans from the Natives only reinforced that arguments that only legal immigrants should be allowed and extreme from those who could do harm to us.
Jose Garza lmao you are ignorant if you compared the genocide of native americans by european immigrants to illegal immigrants crossing the border. Talk about paranoia
Lol "Jose"
Quantum Witcher Very productive counterargument you made there. It really made me think.
J Cruze Yep. 100% Hispanic, and 100% American born and raised.
POWERFUL commercial. I love it. Major kudos to this lumber company.
I wanted to hate this commercial but just couldn't. After all, I am an alien myself.
I'm an alien also. Maybe we can get together sometime?
ET&T 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, but LEFT when federal authorities asked you to.
Well, fled from walkie talky brandish...Ah, whatever.
this is a good comment
The Gaming God Ayy lmao
You know Trump was triggered.
Jamil Vints and with that coke commercial too BRO HE WAS DYING
Mary Ganey nah his good friend Brady became the ultimate winner besides trumo of course I bet he was super happy during this commercial.
Jamil Vints lol
I have to give you credit. I think this commercial was total hosesh**, but credit where it's due. That was pretty funny, and he probably is.
Jamil Vints fuck trump
What a shame they can't illegally cross into a country
• No one should be torn apart from their families, denied entry to the land of opportunity, or denied the opportunity to go home. This country has to do something about illegal immigration, but we can’t forget this country needs immigrants, from everywhere. Diversity is what makes our country great.
84 Lumber that doesn't mean they can come to America illegally
84 Lumber here ya go- George Washington felt that immigration should be limited to useful mechanics and some particular descriptions of men or professions. Sorry but if you have an issue with your own country CHANGE it, don't bring your issues to us.
84 Lumber Fuck yeah, 84. Let 'em know.
84 Lumber you are pathetic. No more business from you in mid-Michigan
most imigrants are searching for a better life
Paola Razo Good. Then let them do it *legally* so the government knows they are here.
A better life is life without crime.
Paola Razo - while destroying the lives of the ones around them.
Santa Ana was beautiful in the 1920's now it looks like a Tijuana ghetto and has the crime and murder to match.
This is the highest level of civilization ethnic mestizos are capable of maintaining.
Mexico is Mexico because of Mexicans!
Waldo exactly why immigrant communities have the lowest crime rates in America
Italo Tapia So your point is?
feel bad for the suffering people of Mexico...but don't u dare mention the suffering legal residents of the USA...drive thru Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, etc. and tell me there isnt true poverty there. ive seen it
Chill Cosby could have spent the trillions spent on war on that
Chill Cosby And Trump sure as hell is gonna fix that with the 12 wall street executives he appointed to his cabinet...
Abdullah Moiz whats that have to do with the point i made? take military spending and give it to illegal immigrants who dont contribute to the tax pool like everyone else? ur post doesnt make any sense
Adam Perez he'll do a better job than Hilary ever would have...her and husband, Bill, each were paid millions upon millions for speeches made to wall street execs...speeches she didnt want the transcripts of to be released to public...Trump can't be bought , he is not perfect but he is not beholden to any exec like the Clintons are
Chill Cosby you do realise, that all former presidents get paid to make speeches, right?
So they left the grandpa all alone? That sucks.
Asking the real questions here. When will the sheeple wake and realize immigration is devastating for the elderly.
No, he'll get "chained" in - along with all the tios and tias etal.
Sproton Elaxius STFU you Idiota!!!
Hahaha!!!
It took my family 9 long years for us to do it the right way, to come to the US legally, this spits in the face of legal immigrants who have had to put so much time and effort to achieve so. Stop glorifying criminal behaviour, this commercial is an appeal to emotion precisely because there is no logical argument you can make for people who already disrepect the law to get into this country.
I am latino and I voted Trump because everyone is welcome as long as they do it the right way, we need to secure our borders and we need to stop the welfare magnet that attracts so many people. Most complaining about "everyone in the US being an immigrant" forget that the US did not sponsor anyone back in the day, the work of LEGAL immigrants built this country, not draining the pockets of taxpayers through undeserving benefits and government sponsoring.
If someone wants to come to America they MUST respect rule of law, if not they are already traitors.
Yohanan Nussant ^^^THIS^^^ 👍👊
Thank you for sharing this and Congratulations on your citizenship! Maybe the discussion should be more about immigration reform, because 9 years is a crazy long process and I imagine when you are this desperate, you don't have 9 years to wait on paperwork, but it still does not justify smuggling into a country illegally! When the U.S. Border Patrol endorsed Trump, I realized that he knew what he was doing. I don't live by the border, so I struggled with the issue myself, but if those closest to the situation think it's a good idea to build a wall, that's who we should listen to, not this liberal agenda that pushes this agenda that everyone should get their way, but with no thought or idea of how to pay for things.
Yohanan Nussant , I agree
Yohanan Nussant
Hey I think you didnt finish watching the ad man. It's actually pro Trump.
At the end it shows the big door in the wall where they can come in legally so In effect it is promoting legal immigration as the correct way out.
Save this comment for the dumbass liberals who actually deserve the lesson hahaha
Yohanan Nussant Thank you for your thoughts and perspective. My family came to this country so many years ago I don't personally understand why people come here under cover of night.
But what if someone can't wait 9 years? And doesn't it cost a lot of money? I imagine people must be very desperate to come here illegally.
Conveniently use a cute little girl to pull at heart strings. This propaganda would have you believe just because you are good you should have a free ticket to the united states but doesn't mexico need to good people to make their own country better rather then perpetuate the reason the want to come over in the first place? The whole thing is very confusing.
so★ Tf, most immigrants come with there children FOR there children.
Maria A. yes and they come here to reproduce even more children and live off of government assistance while one is actually working their a** off to provide for their children the right way
Good question! Why don't you find out about your own ancestry and figure out why they immigrated to the US.
meccaanon booyah
+so★ The problem is that many areas in Mexico are beyond saving. Thousands of dangerous gangs kill innocent people and kidnap children to either raise them to be part of the gang or, sometimes, to use them as meat-shields.
The legal process of immigration into the United States takes an extremely long time, up to 10 years in many cases, and so that's not an option for people. And no, the innocent in Mexico looking for safety can't just go to a safer town in Mexico. They'd be found regardless. Their only real option is to enter the U.S illegally, so you'd think the solution to this problem would be simple; alter/fix the legal immigration process into the U.S. But no, according to our president, the solution is to build a wall that will easily destroy Mexico's economy thus making it even worse for anyone living there. And even then, the wall wouldn't reduce the illegal immigration numbers by THAT much.
Fixing our legal immigration process would mean less illegal immigration and wouldn't just be limited to illegal immigrants from Mexico. Trump's solution is not a well thought-out solution, if you can even call it that.
It's like something a drunk hillbilly would come up with if I'm being honest.
I watched this instead of Lady Gaga.
Too bad you missed Gaga's performance, it was amazing! I thought it was pretty cool that she managed to say HI to her Dad and Mom while she performed this highly energetic performance.
Merry MacG Didn't like 3 other people say hi to their mom?
Siouxsie Q omg same
The Siouxsie Q
Rose are red
i am not dead
press like or
dead tonight
....SUBSCRIBE MY CHANNEL...
The sheer joy i felt when i saw the wall. I burst out laughing.
Big Ray and the sheer joy when I saw the door
My kind of people.
beautiful commercial....was not expecting a message like this during the superbowl....glad to see corporations stepping up to send a positive message despite the possible backlash and risking economic interests
Instead of wasting money on a wall. use the money to actually fix immigration.
Struggle Gaming The wall will fix it. Giving these people amnesty is just a scam so the Democraps have a endless supply of government dependent voters!
+Struggle Gaming How exactly will you fix it without a wall? What are we gonna tell them "please don't cross the border illegally" like we have been doing?
Struggle Gaming - the wall and security works for Israel
a majorty of goverment benefits are used by the poor in mid west that primarily votes republican, do explain how thats the plan of democrats?
considering Bush built a wall, instead of wasting billions of dollars on trying to build a wall at the top of mountains or at the bottom of barren desserts, fix the process so it doesnt take years for people who obviously don thave much money to immigrate. No multi billion dollar cartel is being stopped by a wall, they just continue building massive tunnel systems, using catapults (4 real google this shit its straight out of loony toons) or sneaking through check points, as theyve been doing FOR DECADES.
Sorry not everyone gets to have access to the country we built.
we built?
who is we?
I doubt you built shit in your lifetime.
Our parents did not built it for Mexicans and Arabs, did they?
Sudungarn you're damn right they did. They built it for everyone seeking a free and better life, regardless of your race, creed, or religion. Open a history book!
I don't meant it as a racial thing, but a way of living. USA may be multiracial and have many religions, but if you are not ready to adopt the westerner american way of life you are not welcome.
Mexicans and Arabs are known for their fanatical nationalism, Muslims are really extreme with their religion.
I would like them to assimilate if they want to live among us.
Only to mention that older generations were a lot more racist than we are and i bet they did not build this country for outsiders.
84 Lumber encouraging breaking the law. SAD!
PJ Mac Who do they think they are, Thomas Jefferson??
PJ Mac you've definitely adopted trump's way of speaking. One word sentence that is all capitalized and ends in an exclamation point
mc7297
It's called sarcasm mc.
PJ Mac you obviously dont know the meaning to the video. Read the description sweety
PJ Mac What is sad is that your heart is made of stone and ice
The wall just got 10 feet taller
And with that said this comment section just got dumber.
So did the ladders.
Interesting comment on this: "In the run-up to the Super Bowl, Magerko said the ad shouldn’t be considered provocative at all. In fact, she says she voted for Donald Trump in the election, and the image of the door in the wall comes directly from Trump himself, who said he wanted a “big beautiful door” in his wall, for legal immigration."
And your products just got 10 times more expensive, because without Mexico
's trade and undocumented people cropping the fields in agriculture American economy will NOT survive.
Yes, it's just like that. Except no, because it's not the sixties. Where do you think produce comes from in February exactly?
In my perfect world they walk through the door, get a burger right off the grill and some fresh clothes. There would be an office ready to provide them with some basic English lessons, a quick, efficient health screening, and a process by which they can take a legitimate oath of citizenship. Much of this would be volunteer run. Businesses in need of entry level workers could have recruiters stationed all over the place and this woman and her child could start their lives as members of the wonderful USA. Yes it may be a total fantasy, but it's what we should all strive for. An efficient and welcoming legal process.
THE WALL JUST GOT 10 FEET TALLER!
HELL YEAH!!!
Old glory yup
...and 'Murica just got stupider.
Charles Cerveny stfu
Don't stop building until it reaches the clouds. xD
