A request: as you know I have never asked anyone to like, subscribe or watch my videos but I have a favour to ask. Unfortunately our good friend and heroic caminante @timmykarter fell very sick after I left Mexico and was hospitalised for an operation. His medical bills were not covered by his insurance and they were astronomical. He is now under sedation. If you want to help out I ask you to go to his channel after this and watch a video or two of his. Leave a supportive message for him to read when he wakes up and drop some likes. It will take you a few minutes only. He’s a great lad as you know from watching the vids he’s appeared in and is going through a really tough time, sick in a foreign country just before Christmas. Sharing some good vibes will help him a little bit. #prayfortimmy
Also, for those who dont know, Bald and Timmy also ended up losing their Laptops, bank cards and IDs after they attempted mailing them to costa rica alongside other important belongings and documents with DHL so that sucks 👎
It's not surprising to see cable TV dying when you can get high-quality videography, storytelling and action by independent TH-cam channels, such as Bald and Bankrupt. I pulled the plug years ago and have learned so much more about the world due to channels like this.
Absolutely! When have you ever seen this quality and prospective on a television show?! All the reporters talk to the audience with a condescending but patronizing tone. I wanted to know more about the Darien Gap. Now I know way more than I wanted to know about topics I didn’t know I needed to learn about.
35:59 this part made me actually start crying. To see this many people helping complete strangers. One of the most beautiful acts of kindness I've ever seen.
It's virtue signaling and narcissisms mixed into one. The emotional high he felt from donating a few dollars to a couple people thinking that he is saving central America. It is utterly disgusting that our governments promote the death and destruction of other countries until they are forced to flee.
They (the media) wants to cover up the failures of the Biden admin… that’s why. Failure, weakness, chaos sums it up they wouldn’t dare show what’s going on
This is not an ordinary TH-cam video. This is a documentary. A deep professional dive into the world of migration. Videos like this should be treaded as they are. Professional grade documentaries into a world that few have the balls to talk about. Once again, i am reminded why this is my most favorite channel on TH-cam. Thank you Mr bald..
@@zioncardman18 did you ever see any reporter cross the jungle with the hordes of refugees, without food and water and cover every day of it? Or to cross illegally three countries, be a stowaway on a train , try to run away from immigration checkpoints and officers, and sleep on the dirt next to hungry people that walked for hundreds of kilometers with nothing but hope in theirs pockets? This is a deep dive , or at least deeper than anyone has ever been before..
@@jakewillits4678Precisely. Free countries, specifically the US, used to have a meaningful process for entry. Immigrants are welcome if they’re looking to better themselves, contribute to society and build a better life. Simply going somewhere to get a handout and doing what you’ve always done is a major problem across the globe.
35:50, the most touching moment in the adventure when the travellers were thrown food from below the train , Moment of humanity coming alive. All in all, the journey was incredible, venturesome, dangerous, unpredictable so on and so forth... Can't get my eyes off once I sat watching it. Hats off to you Mr Bald...🎉🎉🎉 You a Daredevil ❤
You are no longer a vlogger bro. This is simply an outstanding documentary or investigative journalism. Not a single so called journalist or filmmaker can do what you just did.. Love all your your content, but this was just next level. Thanks very much my brother for sharing this. Really got emotional when they were throwing supplies to the roof of the train.… Humanity always wins
There are many legal avenues to come to America. There are many needy people from countries who can't run themselves. It is unfair to the American people and to those who have sought a legal route of immigration. If they're sneaking in there is a good chance they have already been deported for crimes. Trump was not wrong when he called them out. Many of them are mules or gang members. The American people are not responsible fro their plight but must absorb the brunt of it. Texas ranchers are killed/ gangs flourish in sanctuary cities and spies from every American adversary flow in by the thousands on a weekly basis. There are up to 10000 illegals that come into America on a daily basis, many of whom displace America's own downtrodden in sanctuary cities homeless shelters. Veterans are dying of hypothermia on the streets of New York. (This comment was shadow banned btw)
Maybe a better life for them but they are inflicting damages that are unseen upon the country that takes them . Higher taxes, lower wages, higher housing prices, higher general inflation and more. It's all supply and demand but most people are IGNORANT of the REAL CONSEQUENCES .
@@porfiriato84 tell us why this is not legendary journalism? Would you have done this better or at all? I know that I would never have done this but I am glad somebody would be so brave and show the real struggle people have to get a decent life, like everybody deserve
@@porfiriato84 did you see last vid two weeks ago? Through the Darien Gap, amazing, no one could have done it better. And, they got some balls.. *Respect*
I must say I've watched a lot of interesting/amazing things on this channel. But the Mexican locals coming out at 12 and throwing necessities onto the train absolutely shocked and floored me. Just the exact opposite reaction I thought some locals would have. Brilliant content and has genuinely changed my mind about some Mexican behaviour.
I don’t think anyone in this world can replicate such an addicting, educational, show. Thank you for showing the world things we have a blind spot for. You are truly amazing man!
His past few uploads are among my favorite things I have ever watched on TH-cam. There is a similar series on Vice called Thumbs up America which is similar to this in some ways.
Ben produces this amazing content that no professional company would be able to do as they would be constrained by visas and Health and Safety insurance. Truly exceptional content.
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us viewers,showing us more than words could ever explain what these beautiful people endure on their quest for something that every human being deserves...."freedom"
Mexico is not “free”? They have elections and individual rights, do they not? Brazil is not “free”? Peru is not “free”? Chile is not “free”? Who controls them and why can’t Venezuelans be free in Mexico, Chile, Or Brazil?
Starting to believe that this is just the best channel on TH-cam. An hour long video that's beautiful, emotional and educational. And doesn't get boring, not even for a minute.
This was so well done. I hope you get some kind of a reporting award for this. No documentary could’ve done it the way you did very well done. Thank you for sharing this.
Those lovely people of the villages understanding the struggle and sharing what little they have to help the caminantes really touched me, faith in humanity restored!
They aren't doing it out of the kindness of their poverty stricken hearts, giving out what little they have. Those people are paid and supplies are funded by those who are open border enthusiasts. The world isn't fairy tales and rainbows.
Have to say since I first started watching you years ago it’s nice to see how professional this channel has become covering some severe topics whilst informing of history. Keep it up !
Really enjoyed watching your videos,but this one really touched me,all the walking just to get caught and deported back to their original destination ,so sad and moving ,keep the good work up Ben,we'll done.
I'm from Guadalajara, México, all my life i've seen "caminantes" around the railways, definitely this video made me realize what they've been though. Superb series, Ben, thank you for your effort and commitment with this kind of videos. Cheers, Bald, you are a mad lad.
No se sientan tan mal por estos de la nueva ola, los centroamericanos si venian a trabajar, pero estos quieren que el gobierno los mantenga como cuando estaban en su país
I got emotional seeing the kindness and compassion of the Mexicans towards the caminante on the train...gives me hope for humanity... Some people still have it.
This is the greatest TH-cam video series I've EVER SEEN. I can't believe that anyone would VOLUNTARILY undertake such a challenge to show immigrant hardship. Thank you for handling the subject with such empathy and dignity.
😲😲 I'm myself impressed by this!! I'm a Mexican, and the journey the immigrants embark on is super hard. You encounter the worst you can imagine: gangs, cartels, corrupt officials. This is something that I would never dare to do
Bald, this is your best series yet. It tells a whole story of a lifetime. Me living in the Netherlands didn't know this was such a huge problem in south/central America. I really love Timmy in your videos, you can see he has a lot of respect for you and he's funny af! Hope this won't be the last Señor Calvo y Señor Timmy adventure, love!
Not to sound like a Trump supporter, but I think you now probably understand why he campaigned so much on building a border wall. This is a major humanitarian crisis that poses lots of challenges and issues to every country that's involved.
Timmy was doing this entire trip with gallstones blocking out his bile duct, i can only imagine the level of discomfort he was going through and the balls it took to finish the trip, what a legend.
Thanks for doing this, real journalism. Really hit me, those folks in MX coming out in the middle of the night to toss water, medicine, and clothes to the Caminantes. Such good-hearted people, we could use a lot more of those kind of folks up North. I hope there are at least a few people that randomly found this that really need to see it. Hope Timmy's well by now? I'm a little late, having just found this, but headed over there now.
Bald, I think you found your calling. I know that this was a very hard vlog to make, but you were meant to be this kind of vlogger. You're naturally talented to be a journalist.
The way he depicts and immerses himself to the experience is what makes his vlogs special he is not showing or making fun of the locals like most TH-camrs do aka mrbeast
35:50 seeing all those people throwing water and goods onto the train was jaw dropping. its rare to see such acts of kindness with so much people nowadays. thank you for covering this!
@@8SixSix3ISTwoICE I agree, those governments are so corrupt and no money to build, still they have to come up with a plan, a solution if they care but at the end....they do not care (the upper class).
@@LovelyCrescentMoon-bk9qrwe didnt individually but collectively, and latinos are humans ? We are all equal in brain right ? Why cant they be better collectively ?? Im starting to thing some ethnic theories are true huh.
35:55 I really got goosebumps here, local people who throw water, medicin and food to the migrants to support them. Big salut to them, may God bless them.
I did the train jumping in April 1977 to MEXICALI , then was caught just before I was about to cross the Rio Grande. Spent three months in a Mexican prison,then deported back to South America. ......Bald ,you are very good man. Your kindness to your fellow travellers will bring you much blessings..
The contrast between the realities people live is striking. Being from Mexico, I feel very grateful for the opportunities I have. Great video and very eye-opening, even for us Mexicans.
This is just beyond words, in the journey one group of people is looting others and one group is throwing rations at others in a midnight train for their journey. The world is an amazing place and thank you for documenting it. 💝
The people throwing water and medications to those on the train. What a moment. Humanity at its best and usually found in times of desperation. Great work Bald, bringing this story to the masses. Bravo.
Found channel today!How is Timmy? Prayers your way. This just breaks my heart. My husband and I share different views,but I pray everyone is safe,and made it to there destination ❤
I have watched all your stuff for different reasons, but this is by far one of the most powerful and inciteful documentary i have witnesses, I hope a very large platform picks this up and promotes the hell out of it. I know where I stand on the wall, you just humanized a whole journey that brings tears to my heart. I will pray for Timmy and do the right thing. This is award winning journalism. Excellent job.
Yah, but Bold might be talking too much...saying Mexican Cartel take there money and usa and trump dont like them... He's wrong, we also get those Mexican Cartel and M13 from El Salvador cartel here in the States and F those guys... There are plenty of Mexican Americans still bringing families over here every day, we cant have every human on the planet to come to usa if there country sucks, go to Uk, Just imagine if there was a train of immigrants coming to the uk to take jobs and swarm the Social Services, Uk gov't would have a fit and make some weird reason up they cant be there. US citizens and Mexico have an excellent relationship, dont trust the news.
Actually that’s one of the reasons I’m mad at Central Americans not all of them but some of them forgot that went they cross to the USA they have to pass thru Mexico and Mexico always helps those ilegalas trying to cross by giving them water and food , but they’re so ungrateful, a lady from El Salvador made the news because she said we gave them beans to eat , and that’s animal food according to her .
😢HI FRIENDS, THANK YOU FOR SHARING, IT'S A TRAGEDY AND DENGEROUS SITUATIONS AT EVERY TURN, WISHING YOU THE BEST, MAY YOU ALL BE IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOST HIGH POWER, WITH MUCH LOVE FOR EVERYONE!
This migrant series is not only Bald's best so far, but I believe it is ground breaking. I live in Guatemala and I'd hoped for some more Guatemala footage. Still, I'm absolutely enthralled.
I was also hoping for some more time in Guatemala. I'm visiting in a few weeks because I cannot get it out of my head! Hard to imagine trying to escape such a beautiful country with such amazing resources and people, but governments can do that! Many blessings to you from the northern USA 🙏
This just hits different. Life can be so unforgiving and a simple act of kindness or even solidarity makes all the difference in the world. For these people to go through hell with a smile on their faces is heroism at a different level. Thank you for shedding light on this.
Thank you for showing us what Venezuelan immigrants go through to reach the U.S & Canada. Your channel is great. Greetings from a Tarahumara Mexican Indian in California!
Got super emotional when you and Timmy decided to depart from the bestia. I doubt those people will forget you and the joy you brought to them for that small part of their journey. I love you and your videos, baldy!
I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot, and Americans were fleeing to Mexico for “opportunity “, would they get the same treatment? Whatever you do, do not search how many Americans were murdered while visiting Mexico last year.
True. But it's wrong way to help the migrants. IMO they should instead pool their resources to build training centers, so these migrants could get formal training and work legally in the US. Illegal/undocumented migrants are very vulnerable, there are countless stories about them not getting paid because they can't sue their employer or report it to the police. Not to mention abuses they get from cartels and corrupt bureaucrats. These are bunch of lambs on their way to the slaughterhouse.. It's better to drag them down from the train, then and there, than to throw some supplies.
As someone who supports lawful immigration to the US. I was more than touched by this video. This gave me so much more insight and a personal connection to the migrants. They dont put things like this on the news. Keep up the great work!
@@user-ie4yh1sr9jWe can't give aid to enemies. We must take care of ourselves first. We can't give free housing to them while I sleep outside! When I heard the shooting they were a terrible shot. They can't fix where they lived so they want what we lost and now we take care of them!
Wow, it's awesome to see the hospitality of the Mexicans, throwing food & medications to the migrants . I went to Timmy Karter's page & I noticed he hasn't posted since the Dirian gap . We wish him speedy recovery . Nuff respect
@@pete25901 With or without the food & medications those people threw at them, they would have continued their trip just the same. They all know they're not planning on staying in Mexico permanently.
@@jaydavi948 The world is not as simple as you would like it to be. "Come the right way!" Yeah, policies basically don't allow that to happen. The American government is strangling Venezuela with oil sanctions, reducing it to poverty, because it doesn't like its leftist government that tries to share profit with the people rather than American corporations that want to exploit that wealth. So it's only right and fitting that the immigrants try to illegally enter the country that has caused their own country to be destroyed. Americans need to take responsibility for the pure evil of their government's foreign policy. They don't get to have their cake and eat it, too. Some Americans still think their country is "the good guy" in the world rather than a bully and a thug...
This series of yours has brought a perspective that most people have never considered, even if the migrants you know haven't gone through the horrors documented here, it is often an equally difficult journey and they are often still 'regular' people seeking a better life just like you
You should get some award for taking such a brave step, to experience just like any immigrant how much trouble and pain they going through it is unimaginable.
I live on the El Paso Texas border next to Juarez, Mexico and seeing that clip of the girl trying to cross the freeway is crazy. They go through so much and so many of them get hit by cars after making it across the US-Mexican border. They still have to negotiate a huge fence, a busy highway with border patrol.. Its insane!! Thanks for sharing!!
I literally gasped when Bald started saying he "got lucky" in English right next to the imigration officer right after he checked his ID. He is very "lucky" the officer didn't know any English. 😂 I swear his videos are better than a suspense thriller! 👁👁
Literally brought tears to my eyes watching those people throw supplies to the walkers on top of the train the amount of good people in the world is truly amazing
@@kayakeraltamaha5720 I honestly think someone hired these guys to make these videos to tear at people’s heart strings. No Brit is making it thru the Darien gap guided by cartels and recording it. There are no Mexicans throwing meds and water at the people on the trains. BS!!
The ending of this video shows your modesty and humanity Mr. Bald !!! Hats off! An amazing experience and documentary 🤩👏. Watched how it started and ended.. I hope the best for all caminantes!
This has been one of the most interesting series to follow ever. I, and I'm sure everyone who follows you, greatly appreciate the top quality content you provide to us. I've travelled to some sketchy places myself, but I don't think I'd ever have the balls to do what you've done in this series Mr. Bald, so I'm happy I could experience it first hand through your camera. It also is an eye-opener to whoever complains about immigration, people don't understand the literal hell that migrants go through in search for a better life. Much love!
It's like an infection leaking out and speading problems everywhere, it just happens to be humans, need to get to the heart of the problem as ever the popular Corruption.
People of Mexico throwing up water, food and medications for everyone on the train hit me hard. So generous and kind, had me in tears. Thank you for taking care of the people

That’s how we are in our small villages, there’s always one or 2 “stores” where you can buy food, they’re really jjst houses with people selling stuff, but we have to drive an hour to buy meat and hygiene and the necessities:)
@@beatnik6806There's something called an immigration system. Otherwise they need to work on building their own country. South America can't be a 3rd world continent forever.
Bald it's amazing, you have went to a higher level, from a travel content youtube'r to a actual Proper Video Journalist. You Documentary rivals any Professional Journalist work I ever seen. Your efforts should be highly recognized and awarded by best in the field. Please continue this type of rare content . Again, Hats off to you !!
You’re doing so much with these new videos. Not just the classic humour but because you’re truly raising awareness to a situation rarely seen from this perspective
Honestly the best peice of gonzo journalism I've seen on this website. Well done on soldiering through it. These videos have introduced a new perspective to me that I wont forget.
This truly was an excellent heart warming video. The way those people threw supplies made me think about how good most people truly are. I really enjoyed watching this. Well done my friends. X
The loud/bad minority is usually what hurts the silent majority. Immigration isn’t the problem it’s the capacity and speed of the systems to handle it without letting the criminals and terrorists in. We need to beef up borders making them harder to pass illegally but at the same time heavily improve the immigration process to allow it to be done right and in a timely manner to help the people who are truly trying to improve their and them families lives. Both sides are to blame neither wants to do it, the left doesn’t want the security and the right doesn’t want the immigration. It’s a loose loose situation, but what’s happening now is far worse than an impassable secure border. There is no security stopping the criminals and terrorists and people are being treated as pawns and still wind up eventually being deported. Open borders the way the left pushes it hurts everyone, the immigrants who are taken advantage of on both sides, the us citizens including the immigrants who risked their life to make it to a safe place just to have the country security compromised.
@@baldandbankruptif these future democrats are so great then why don't you take some in, leave your border open to them... you are very wrong on this one!
You're might be JUST an youtuber but your videos, the quality, backstory, interviewing all the people you meet across your journeys, all this and more looks, sounds and feels like high budget documentary! You seriously deserve an journalism award/Pulitzer Prize not only for this trip but all your videos!
I love everything Bald makes, but what makes him different from a jounralist or a documentary is they have people bwhind the scenes doing fact checking on every story they present. Bald shows us what he finds without background checking the people he talks to. There is value to this but it isnt journalism. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes of journalism.
Take a bow!!! Hands down the best TH-cam video series ever seen ...I had tears in my eyes when I saw Little kids doing such dangerous journey and thank you for showing the perspective of immigrants
Breaks my cold black heart seeing the toddlers with their dolls living this tough life. I wish them all the best. And poor Timmy being ill brought it back to me, my sister became ill whilst doing the gringo trail, and had a heart attack while on a bus going through Chile and sadly died at the roadside. This video is an emotional one.
Wow what a brilliant series! Never realised the lengths people of South America go to reach the states. Being a father myself I could never imagine going through that with my children. It really does make you appreciate what you have more
I do commend you for the way u put this together. It is a very hard journey for these people And you show how exactly how it is. God bless you and be well
Mad respect for you and the content you put out and the dangers you go through. This one was very touching, when they threw everyone on the train some water, food and medication.. that hit in the feels
Ben. You will forever be a memory for those children. The simple pizza, the kind crazy gringos with cameras from Inglaterra, will be recalled maybe 30 years from now, when they tell their story to others of how they travelled to the "promised land"
americans are gringos. im canadian and my mexican roomate made sure to correct me about that. felt good to know im not a gringo. it doesnt mean white man, it has to do with the american uniform and go, green go. from the mexican war
@@colinmarshall6634 and yet in this particular part of the series, in Mexico, he's been fairly open about being English. In fact, the people who were with him almost always knew he was English because it was one of them who told him to act Russian.
I have so much respect for you and your work, you showed what the harsh reality is for this poor people , see them been through all this!! To see all this children suffering in a very dangerous trip not knowing if can make it breaks my heart , but I saw as well the humanity the kindness this people share not having nothing , and thank you Mexican people for the help you are giving to the people on the train , bless you ❤️🙏
This series has been more interesting, entertaining, thought provoking, in your face REAL than anything the so called professionals have ever produced. My hat is off to you, sir.
Thanks for putting a human face on the migrants from Venezuela. I love travelling the world and meeting people but there's no way in hell I'd do what you did in this series of videos. Mad respect to you guys.
*everyone isn’t disputing they’re suffering humans! The people of USA are not working hard to pay for people to flood the country! If someone has to pay for it! And if you tried to invade there country they’d kill you! So I disagree with the Trump comment, you can’t possibly think struggle people from USA should bear the cost of this invasion period*
First time ever a TH-cam video absolutely broke me, seeing you help the kid onto the train.. WOW those little kids are 10x the people most of us could ever be. Amazing Ben
This is TH-cam at its greatest. The risks he makes to show the immigrants’ plight is Nobel peace price worthy and has never been shown before that I have seen.
@@biggestcomplainerhe is literally illegally crossing into countries to show the way migrants are having to cross with no choice?? very far from overrated ur username lives up to you👎
This has been documented many of times before bald. Although they are good videos informative and interesting certainly not Nobel peace prize….come on brother.
I have watched many videos but I have not seen a video with reality like yours. You have explained one thing at a time. thank you very much and I am watching your every video.
Hey Mr. Bold! As someone from Dagestan, I've always appreciated your cool mix of semi-Russian and English content. This latest piece? Absolutely brilliant. It's really taken my respect for you to a whole new level. Big thanks!
Next level! The migration story told from the other side that isnt reported/documented enough on. Hats off to you and timmy on this! Although you may not think so but youve played a major part in these peoples stories on their journey to a better life. 🇻🇪❤️
Thanks, that looks like a hard one for the people headed north and you trying to capture their struggles. I need these videos you make to help me understand what's happening outside of my country and appreciate it.

Mad respect to the people throwing food, water and medication to the people on the train. Gives me hope for humanity.
Usually, ppl that knows whats hunger is the one that will throw u a whatever sandwich (jam and cheese, stew, or something),

I think so too. And I'm sure this will not go unnoticed.

Trump was not wrong when he called them out. Many of them are mules or gang members. The American people are not responsible fro their plight but must absorb the brunt of it. Texas ranchers are killed/ gangs flourish in sanctuary cities and spies from every American adversary flow in by the thousands on a weekly basis. There are up to 10000 illegals that come into America on a daily basis, many of whom displace America's own downtrodden in sanctuary cities homeless shelters. Veterans are dying of hypothermia on the streets of New York.

Those lovely people of the villages understanding the struggle and sharing what little they have to help the caminantes really touched me, faith in humanity restored!
They aren't doing it out of the kindness of their poverty stricken hearts, giving out what little they have. Those people are paid and supplies are funded by those who are open border enthusiasts.

Thanks for doing this, real journalism. Really hit me, those folks in MX coming out in the middle of the night to toss water, medicine, and clothes to the Caminantes. Such good-hearted people, we could use a lot more of those kind of folks up North. I hope there are at least a few people that randomly found this that really need to see it.
Hope Timmy's well by now? I'm a little late, having just found this, but headed over there now.

This just hits different. Life can be so unforgiving and a simple act of kindness or even solidarity makes all the difference in the world. For these people to go through hell with a smile on their faces is heroism at a different level. Thank you for shedding light on this.

Bald has transcended the status of youtuber by now. This simply is investigative journalism at its purest and highest form.

Мексиканцы очень добрые люди в целом
I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot, and Americans were fleeing to Mexico for “opportunity “, would they get the same treatment? Whatever you do, do not search how many Americans were murdered while visiting Mexico last year.
True. But it's wrong way to help the migrants.
IMO they should instead pool their resources to build training centers, so these migrants could get formal training and work legally in the US.
Illegal/undocumented migrants are very vulnerable, there are countless stories about them not getting paid because they can't sue their employer or report it to the police. Not to mention abuses they get from cartels and corrupt bureaucrats.
These are bunch of lambs on their way to the slaughterhouse.. It's better to drag them down from the train, then and there, than to throw some supplies.
seeing humans be kind to others is so rare these days, wonderful moment
wonderful..'go on, do not stop in mexico, please move on further north, here is some supplies, good luck. do not come back'

@@jaydavi948Really? When did your family emigrate to the US? Did they come here legally?
@@jaydavi948 The world is not as simple as you would like it to be. "Come the right way!" Yeah, policies basically don't allow that to happen. The American government is strangling Venezuela with oil sanctions, reducing it to poverty, because it doesn't like its leftist government that tries to share profit with the people rather than American corporations that want to exploit that wealth. So it's only right and fitting that the immigrants try to illegally enter the country that has caused their own country to be destroyed. Americans need to take responsibility for the pure evil of their government's foreign policy. They don't get to have their cake and eat it, too. Some Americans still think their country is "the good guy" in the world rather than a bully and a thug...

This series of yours has brought a perspective that most people have never considered, even if the migrants you know haven't gone through the horrors documented here, it is often an equally difficult journey and they are often still 'regular' people seeking a better life just like you
You should get some award for taking such a brave step, to experience just like any immigrant how much trouble and pain they going through it is unimaginable.
I live on the El Paso Texas border next to Juarez, Mexico and seeing that clip of the girl trying to cross the freeway is crazy.

Well I was exactly the same before the journey. Very closed minded to it all so we both learned something 👍
You don’t believe for a second that every single person you met were good people.
The loud/bad minority is usually what hurts the silent majority. Immigration isn’t the problem it’s the capacity and speed of the systems to handle it without letting the criminals and terrorists in. We need to beef up borders making them harder to pass illegally but at the same time heavily improve the immigration process to allow it to be done right and in a timely manner to help the people who are truly trying to improve their and them families lives. Both sides are to blame neither wants to do it, the left doesn’t want the security and the right doesn’t want the immigration. It’s a loose loose situation, but what’s happening now is far worse than an impassable secure border. There is no security stopping the criminals and terrorists and people are being treated as pawns and still wind up eventually being deported. Open borders the way the left pushes it hurts everyone, the immigrants who are taken advantage of on both sides, the us citizens including the immigrants who risked their life to make it to a safe place just to have the country security compromised.

Imagine being a middle-aged Mexican and seeing a wide grinned bald Englishman stumble into your town claiming he's a caminante on his way to the US 😂
Have you not seen the series ?
He was claiming to be Russian and speaking Russian at some points in the series. There are people from all over the world that do this migrant route.
@@colinmarshall6634 and yet in this particular part of the series, in Mexico, he's been fairly open about being English. In fact, the people who were with him almost always knew he was English because it was one of them who told him to act Russian.
He would think that another season of narcos is being prepared
Hahaha
I have so much respect for you and your work, you showed what the harsh reality is for this poor people , see them been through all this!! To see all this children suffering in a very dangerous trip not knowing if can make it breaks my heart , but I saw as well the humanity the kindness this people share not having nothing , and thank you Mexican people for the help you are giving to the people on the train , bless you ❤️🙏
Thank you for the moments you give to the children who find themselves on this journey. Their voices are so important, and deserve to be heard.
This series has been more interesting, entertaining, thought provoking, in your face REAL than anything the so called professionals have ever produced. My hat is off to you, sir.
Yep and since Baldy was kicked out of Russia the new focus on Central and South America has kicked it up to an entirely different level
its been a journey. glad we got to experience just a peice of this
completely false take on his video, but it is good
Thanks for putting a human face on the migrants from Venezuela. I love travelling the world and meeting people but there's no way in hell I'd do what you did in this series of videos. Mad respect to you guys.
He's a bad guy
Changed my mind
@@sarahboettcher3266do you have any reasons of to why he is a bad guy?
*everyone isn’t disputing they’re suffering humans! The people of USA are not working hard to pay for people to flood the country! If someone has to pay for it! And if you tried to invade there country they’d kill you! So I disagree with the Trump comment, you can’t possibly think struggle people from USA should bear the cost of this invasion period*
If they are entering the US illegally, they are criminals.
These last 3-4 videos have been the most amazing pieces of journalism I’ve ever seen. Bald you are a madman in the best ways.
First time ever a TH-cam video absolutely broke me, seeing you help the kid onto the train.. WOW those little kids are 10x the people most of us could ever be. Amazing Ben
I cringed out of my skin reading this
@@clockworkmansion1855 then you probably want your hard drive checking
@petermaurer7359 going through tough times is not a flex bro
This is TH-cam at its greatest. The risks he makes to show the immigrants’ plight is Nobel peace price worthy and has never been shown before that I have seen.
Nobel …… 😂 overrated
@@biggestcomplainerhe is literally illegally crossing into countries to show the way migrants are having to cross with no choice?? very far from overrated ur username lives up to you👎
This has been documented many of times before bald. Although they are good videos informative and interesting certainly not Nobel peace prize….come on brother.
You know the best part ? I am pretty sure TH-cam demonetized the shit out of this series hahahaha
@@nokiaverseNo choice? Oh, they have a choice.
33:08 These people got nothing, yet they still share the water with bald. This moment moved something in me.
I have watched many videos but I have not seen a video with reality like yours. You have explained one thing at a time. thank you very much and I am watching your every video.
Hey Mr. Bold! As someone from Dagestan, I've always appreciated your cool mix of semi-Russian and English content. This latest piece? Absolutely brilliant. It's really taken my respect for you to a whole new level. Big thanks!
Next level! The migration story told from the other side that isnt reported/documented enough on. Hats off to you and timmy on this! Although you may not think so but youve played a major part in these peoples stories on their journey to a better life. 🇻🇪❤️
That's all that's reported on...
The best and most inspirational video! Truly well done. You get infinite street cred for this one!
You can tell Timmy was fighting for his life that entire trip.. at 45:41 you can definitely tell he is trying to hold back the sickness
Thanks, that looks like a hard one for the people headed north and you trying to capture their struggles. I need these videos you make to help me understand what's happening outside of my country and appreciate it.
