I walked across the border at 7 years of age due to cartels killing my family, I’m 26 now. I own a construction company and I’m working on getting my green card. I’m under the DACA program. I tried joining the military but couldn’t due to my status, I am Mexican born but The U.S. raised me and I would give my life for this freedom we all experience. Life is hard and you never know what others have to deal with, I respect anyone trying to make an honest living.
Absolutely agree with you. We need to make the work program based on merit and easy to obtain with a clean record. Also you can lose your status and go home for crimes just like you can lose a cdl here for driving under influence. In the mean time...trafficking of people and children and drugs and criminals, and pedophiles, and spys and terrorists!!!!! Has got to stop, Texas has fought 2 wars for that border and the right to respectfully enter the country and enjoy the freedom to secure your families life here or in Mexico. It's a tragedy down there and has been for a while with the cartels and Mexican Govt. I always tried to make a point to illegal guys I know in construction....why can't you pay to speed up your process? I would ask them this because I had a custody battle over my son and I spent just over 45,000 just as a man in this country trying to get custody of my child away from somebody that honestly shouldn't have been that hard to do but I don't have correct tools for special treatment in courts if you know what I mean. So I knew at a young age what it meant to believe in something and live a good life and pay every penny I had extra to help get my son into a position to succeed and not fail at his mother's. It was hard, it was rewarding but I would ask them...why don't you quit drinking and going to horse races and spending all your dollars on living the good life and not put that energy towards getting your records straight instead of telling me every 4 years that this President or That President is gonna be your savior 😂😂😂it doesn't work like that here. Nothing for us American borns comes easy if your not born into wealth. You HAVE TO WANT TO MAKE HARD DECISIONS
God Bless you. We should be recruiting Mexicans who want to emulate you. Instead we are destroying the country you are building. A large percentage of people coming across the border are international criminals bent on destroying America.
Mexican military? Our troops aren’t doing enough down there to claim they are fighting the cartels. The Mexico police and military force though, man I feel bad. The ranks are full of good men and bad men.
To all Border Patrol agents thank you for your service. And thank you Mr. WILLIE Nelson for your music and for being such a great American! Love ❤️ you!
I'm mexican and I can tell you I love Willie with all my heart, amazing he is still giving us amazing music, the day he flies away, I'm gonna cry for a few hours
Like with President Bush when Willie died All of Texas will have off for a day of grieving. Then they will make a new Willie Nelson holiday. At least here in Texas.
If you listen to the lyrics it talks about both struggles of the immigrant and border patrol. That is the beauty of art to be able to see both sides and FEEL!
@@1776Jan Well, thank you for showing your ignorance of Willie Nelson’s song writing.. Are you aware that it was Willie Nelson who wrote Crazy…the song that Pasty Cline sang? He wrote TWENTY FIVE number one hits…Bu nobody expects an ignorant moron who posts incorrect comments to know this.
@@nathanielsmith4041 100% and I'm wondering if this song is a dog whistle. He's always been a radical liberal. Wish I didn't love his music, but I see him for what he is and it's not as good anymore, as with most of my favorite musicians, especially the Laurel Canyon CIA crew. I was very naive once. Now I have Gladio goggles. You can't unsee some things. Bless you for telling the truth about Willie. As I said, I wonder what this song is all about. Guess we'll see, right? These lefty loonies will pounce on it soon if my hunch is right. I hope I'm not.
My father toured with Willie for years as his live sound technician. Willie was the best man at my dad's wedding. In fact, Willie and his band were the only people who atteneded since my parents got married while Willie was touring in Key West. I admire this man because of how much my dad admires him. Excited to send this song to him today.
That comment cracks me up. It's very true but it reminds me of the movie The Blues Brothers. When they went into that bar to play before the other band got there. They ask the lady what kind of music they play here? She said we play both kinds, country and western.
I am a 74 year old woman, a native Texan, I love my state , my country and the Lord Jesus Christ. This song broke my heart. ❤️ Thank you Willie for having eyes to see.

Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but good luck in all that comes your way in the future. I hope it goes well for you
I have met Willie one time and seen him in concert 3 times. My father got me hooked on Willie Nelson in the 70s. He had many of his 8 tracks but Stardust was his favorites. Willie is older than my father and my father is gone now😢 and Willie continues to crank out outstanding hits! He is one amazing man!
My mammaws neighbor Faye Burke her son and WN played together long before he made a name for himself...I am now in my 60s while most know Willie with guitar ,he was playing piano at that time
One of Willie's hell angles "bodyguards" punched me in the the face when I was 15 years old and in the press section. I was a photographer for my high school paper. I didn't even get close and paid dearly for daring to take a pic. Needless to say I never attended another Willie concert.
@@catherinesikes3752 I listen to my father were out 2 or more 8-tracks and it's still one of my favorites also. Of course my brother and I knew every song on the album. Anyway we were at a very fancy restaurant where the 3 orchestra band comes around with the violinist, accordionist and cellist. They came to our table and we were very young boys spitting out these very old songs for them to play. After the first one they thought we might just know 1 but after about the fifth 1 we had their mind blown. They didn't know the Stardust connection lol.
I have been crossing the border for business for 45 years, even a little smuggling.... I have had some close calls...guns pointed at my head, etc. No one has ever stole a dime from me, ,though'!! I believe I have a good angel watching over me! I know Mexico pretty good, have travelled for business from the baja to the yucatan, on wheels by myself many times. I have taught many classes to the Mexico State and Federal Police on crime scene evidence management and control. I married a wonderful Mexican lady. She did all her papers on her own, and is now a proud American. We have a Home in US and Mexico. Willie hit this out of the park.. The lyrics, the tone, the guitar.. and when WIllie hits the right tune singing " I come home to Maria..."... Completely blew me away....tears streaking down my cheeks. God bless you, Willie Nelson! 90 years old and still doing it!
Probably the best song l have ever heard I'm a74 year old musician who has heard and played a lot of song's I wish I could sing this one now God bless one of the best intertainers ever thank you Willy
@@thedreamr1 I should have done my research. However, I stand by the statement. Maybe the amendment should be Willie is America's greatest living singer/songwriter.
@thedreamr1 100% with ya. It's even in the description of the video! I've used that term also in describing Willie. It will be a sad day when he departs this life. Until then, we all can continue enjoying our national treasure as much as we can. He will be influencing artists forever. Truly an amazing person.
I'm a vet too and I understand but he's telling the truth. This is what this country has become and it's not your fault nor is it mine. It's the imbecile that sits in the White House. Pray for our country my friend and thank you for your service
Very wise words from a very wise man, now only if we could get the racist people to understand this fact, everything would be that much better... For everyone.
I cried when hearing this song, for the border patrol, for the immigrants, for Maria, for humanity. Thanks so much For this touching truth song. Love and light✨
Now I have to laugh, I had 2 dogs, named them Willie and Nelson. When out calling them in the neighbors would be in stitches laughing. They're both gone now, God how I miss them doggies.
Not with this one he ain’t, he sadly missed a great opportunity to sing about the fact America currently has no border. As much as I love and respect musicians, too few have the courage to speak out and sing out like they did in the 60’s and 70’s.
I a 71 year ol Aussie been listening to Willie since I was 9 years young. I got to meet him Brisbane Australia I think it was mid 1990s I wore a red bandanna to the concert he threw all his bandannas into the audience he gave the one he was wearing to a child sitting in the front row they were beside me . A song or two later I took my bandanna off walked a few steps and handed it to Willie he got down on his knee we shook hands and he put my Bandanna on . Life is full of surprises and events I would not have dreamed that would happen when I was 9 years old. To the greatest Country Singer of all time
@@lindaange3920I live in Texas, too. I have heard that Australia has a climate similar to Texas. I would like to experiment with raising Wallabe's and Koala's here. Do you have any suggestions?
Amen. Just what I was thinking. Shows our times, sadly. But the good ones are here, we’ll always support him. Fair to say many of his supporters aren’t avid CZcams subscribers. A lot of good folk will watch stuff but never subscribe to the artist. But ofc it helps and makes an impact! Just spread the word. As long as we have and use YT let’s support our legends!! There aren’t many still with us. ❤
This is why since a very young boy I have considered myself a fan of a true American Icon. This piece creates your own visual cinema. And this hero of mine is a true legend and still doing it almost 100yr. I'm almost 60yr. And sometimes I need a kick in my pants to honor and pay homage to my elders and heros.✌️ Willie, I truly love you.
That was lovely said!❤ Had just pretty much had same sentiment, just one of the many heroes I feel blessed to have been alive during this run in history. We need all that we can get at the moment 😵💫 those are the things, music, writers, you know, anything you choose to turn it all OFF 👍
@@nathanielsmith4041 He doesn’t actively support anyone. He knows country music fans are mostly conservative, and he loves his fans. Sure, he likes his weed, and has his songs about that… but Willie is not anywhere close to a Left Coast woke progressive.
As a retired Supervisory Border Patrol Agent , I appreciate artists like Mr. Nelson who take the time to sing about our difficult but rewarding job. God Bless all our brothers and sisters in Green. Honor First!
I love you Willie! ❤❤ No one ever talks about the border patrol agents and how dangerous it is. Be safe guys and God bless you. Thank you for your service 🙏
The Real life of a border agent. We need to continue praying for all these men & women that protect our country, borders, and families. God bless everyone.
An old school yet modern cowboy song by one of country musics oldest living outlaws. Once in a lifetime that's Willie Nelson please don't leave us. Willie Nelson forever on the road writing the poetry of the USA.
You don't want to smoke that stuff. It will make you obsess over guitars and basses and drums and keyboards and strings and stompboxes and amplifiers and microphones and Public Address and picks.
Wow, Willie is a classic style only he can do, this is why the world loves him,..When a life in a condition or situation needs to be told, if there's a story there, he'll tell it in his classic style, we can find our own story there,..🇺🇸🙂
Im still a kid compaired to Willie , I was born in 73 and I can remember enjoying his music all through my life I watched every movie he was in and thank the lord I was able to see and hear his art
God bless our border patrol personnel. Thank you, Willie Nelson for bringing this to light there is so much more that they do and the support they receive is so necessary.
That's amazing 😘 Willie Nelson is the absolute best group in country music!! There is not one song, Willie Nelson have ever recorded, that I'm not in love with❤ I saw them in concert long time ago and I enjoyed the moment with them, Have you attained to his concert before?
Willie- I have never had a song touch me so deep in my soul. I worked under 4 different administrations and honestly, they all sucked for us. Since 99 in Arizona (and before that in California) it seems like trying to do your job with both hands tied behind your back. Those boys in Texas violated policy. But everyone was violating policy there. What the 8th circuit did to them was unconscionable. And even though we are 9th circuit, we took notice. You can get health insurance for when you get banged up, you can get life insurance if you have to pay the ultimate price. But you can’t get “I was doing my job now I’m going to prison” insurance. Thank you Willie for trying to bring attention to the folks trying to protect our border. 💕

Oh hush. It's your political party that refuses to vote for the bill to help out at the border! Why don't you pay attention to what's going on and stop believing right wing propaganda! You'll probably vote for the racist orange crook who told Republicans not to vote for a border bill that was even supported by border patrol so shut it
Man, Willie is the man with truth on his lips...thank you in a day of lies from our government....we the people know the truth....thank you brother..... still got it...
Iam addicted to the Nelson s music and love them all dearly as thier music brought me out of deep depression when I lost my husband of 32 years . I have been a fan since I was 4years old and am 76 now ❤🌹❤️💋
God bless you, you got me beat! I’m 58 but he is my all-time favorite too - been listening to him since my older brother went to college in Texas and brought back a couple Willie albums and got me into country music (which wasn’t what kids in the DC suburbs in Maryland were listening to). Saw him a couple years back (for the 3rd or 4th time), and the man STILL puts on a great show!
This is a magnificent ode to the hard working men at the border. Exquisite music. And Willie. Willie at his best. Thank you Willie for all that you are and all you have shared.
If you have never been to one of his concerts you don't know what you are missing, amazing man he played for 4 &1/2 hours in the poring down rain. Skull bone Tennessee is where I had the privilege of witnessing this
Beautifully written by Rodney Crowell!! Willies a hard-core Democrat which surprises me he sang this but with respect nobody could have done it better Fine work Pancho!! GOD bless our Border Patrol and our Military!!
Willie is from a time when Democratz werent all liberal freaks. There used to be a thing called a "moderate" democrat. More of a centralist mentality. I can only see him through that filter. This man is too real to support evil. I USED to be a democrat 30 years ago....THE PARTY CHANGED....our government changed 😢 LIBERTARIAN is truly the fair, just, and right way. Right wing or left wing....they are both wings of the same bird. THE BIRD IS THE PROBLEM.
Tell beyonce? more like tell the bro country to make something worth listening to Even beyonce genre bouncing is better than the garbage that spoiled frat boys are putting out in the name of country
@@nathanielsmith4041To the guy that had to bring politics into the room, I bet if you asked Willie he'd tell you he supports Trump, The U.S. Constitution, & America! 🇺🇸
IMO, one of the last outlaws. An artist who has played with legends (Wayland,Cash,Haggard,Jones etc.).How can one single out one story when everyone of them is a piece of HIStory. VIVA WILLIE
Song makes me think of Theodore L. Newton and George F. Azrak (Newton-Azrak Award) men that lost their lives serving the US Border Patrol. Many recipients of this award. Thank you guys.
It's not just the decent people of America who hear exactly what Willie is saying in this song , the people of great Britain feel the words of this song very deeply.
I'm in Oaxaca 🇲🇽. Parrot on shoulder. We are dancing to The Border. You are the best Willie Nelson. Giving us hope and the brilliance of your music. Gracias ❤
My Friends of Oaxaca should be in Oaxaca too, the US denies Citizenship to my undocumented loves ones in our own lands , and other people get to enjoy the culture, it's not supposed to be this way
Excellent. It's not country, it's not rock. It's just pure. In the tradition of all the great songs in history, Willie strikes at the heart of all people, their trials, suffering, joy, duty, and desires. Some might call it folk....I call it Willie Nelson.
years back Mr. Nelson came to perform at the Waikiki Shell, didn't have a ticket but bought one outside for the regular price, it ended up being a front row seat. I will never forget that performance.
Willie is 90 and still going strong. He still has the ability to move me to tears with his music. God bless you Willie. Thank you for all that your music has meant to me and to so many people through the years. I'm so looking forward to hearing the rest of what I'm sure will be a classic album.
Love this Willie. Texas song through and through. God I miss her. Always keeping it real. God bless you and your family. Thank you for years of good honest music. Never got to see you live . Always wanted to I'm 66 so dont think i will but have to say, you have always been my favorite artest. Always will be. Take care and have a blessed life.❤❤❤
I've been loving Willie since my 20s..I'm in my 60s now...what a talented song writer and singer..love you, Willie!!! And your son is following close behind you. Sing on!
That's why he put this song out at this time. He didn't get real political but he didn't have to, everyone gets his point! Don't want to get that political over Willie's great new hit!
That's why he put this song out at this time. Everyone knows what he's talking about. He didn't have to get very political but got his point across! A great American a great singer and just an all around great man!
Willie, that song is right on, that Sir is a keeper, just like everything you have ever done before! Sir I admire your Grit, and standing for what you thought was right! I have never heard a song of yours that I didn't like! I'm not far behind you in age, and I wish you good health and happiness all your life! God bless you and your family always Willie,
I love Willie Nelson. Whether he's singing or talking or just giving good advice. Have been a fan since I was young. I'm 79 now. Will ALWAYS LOVE WILLIE❤
I walked across the border at 7 years of age due to cartels killing my family, I’m 26 now.

Life is hard and you never know what others have to deal with, I respect anyone trying to make an honest living.

Absolutely agree with you. We need to make the work program based on merit and easy to obtain with a clean record. Also you can lose your status and go home for crimes just like you can lose a cdl here for driving under influence.

Thank you for adding great culture and inspiration to our home. One nation one god one love ☝️💕
God Bless you. We should be recruiting Mexicans who want to emulate you. Instead we are destroying the country you are building. A large percentage of people coming across the border are international criminals bent on destroying America.

What it doesn't delve into is how both sides are put in danger by the reckless policies of Joe Biden.

As someone that has worked there, no lies detected.
I have met Willie one time and seen him in concert 3 times. My father got me hooked on Willie Nelson in the 70s. He had many of his 8 tracks but Stardust was his favorites. Willie is older than my father and my father is gone now😢 and Willie continues to crank out outstanding hits! He is one amazing man!
My mammaws neighbor Faye Burke her son and WN played together long before he made a name for himself...I am now in my 60s while most know Willie with guitar ,he was playing piano at that time
One of Willie's hell angles "bodyguards" punched me in the the face when I was 15 years old and in the press section. I was a photographer for my high school paper. I didn't even get close and paid dearly for daring to take a pic. Needless to say I never attended another Willie concert.
Stardust is my favorite as well.
@@catherinesikes3752 I listen to my father were out 2 or more 8-tracks and it's still one of my favorites also. Of course my brother and I knew every song on the album. Anyway we were at a very fancy restaurant where the 3 orchestra band comes around with the violinist, accordionist and cellist. They came to our table and we were very young boys spitting out these very old songs for them to play. After the first one they thought we might just know 1 but after about the fifth 1 we had their mind blown. They didn't know the Stardust connection lol.
Sorry for your loss brother. I'm sure your father is proud of the man you became. Keep on keeping on!
I have been crossing the border for business for 45 years, even a little smuggling.... I have had some close calls...guns pointed at my head, etc. No one has ever stole a dime from me, ,though'!! I believe I have a good angel watching over me!
I know Mexico pretty good, have travelled for business from the baja to the yucatan, on wheels by myself many times. I have taught many classes to the Mexico State and Federal Police on crime scene evidence management and control.
I married a wonderful Mexican lady. She did all her papers on her own, and is now a proud American. We have a Home in US and Mexico.
Willie hit this out of the park.. The lyrics, the tone, the guitar.. and when WIllie hits the right tune singing " I come home to Maria..."... Completely blew me away....tears streaking down my cheeks. God bless you, Willie Nelson! 90 years old and still doing it!
God, please be with Willie and our troubled world. Amen
And may more fellow believers learn about UR for Ultimate Reconciliation during and after the aeons, amen!
Amen💜🙏💜
Probably the best song l have ever heard I'm a74 year old musician who has heard and played a lot of song's I wish I could sing this one now God bless one of the best intertainers ever thank you Willy
This is a cover song. Written by Rodney Crowell.
I believe he is closer to 90

Willie didn't write it.Rodney Crowell & Allen Shamblin did
@@thedreamr1 I should have done my research. However, I stand by the statement. Maybe the amendment should be Willie is America's greatest living singer/songwriter.
@@garthinflorida5124 I was not disagreeing with you I think he is an American treasure
@thedreamr1 100% with ya. It's even in the description of the video! I've used that term also in describing Willie. It will be a sad day when he departs this life. Until then, we all can continue enjoying our national treasure as much as we can. He will be influencing artists forever. Truly an amazing person.
David Allen Coe is the best
Bummed our American Way has brought us to a point where Willie and Dolly have to sing songs like this breaks this old vets heart.

Very wise words from a very wise man, now only if we could get the racist people to understand this fact, everything would be that much better... For everyone.

@@Twinhit Well yes, Mexicans weren't either... Even today...
I cried when hearing this song, for the border patrol, for the immigrants, for Maria, for humanity. Thanks so much For this touching truth song. Love and light✨

My beloved black cat of 20 years was named Willie Nelson. He was the coolest cat ever.
Cool! My mom’s dog is named Willie after obviously Willie Nelson.
I had a big black one for years named Toby Keith...I miss that cat too...
Mines was called free willy
The black cat who lives here is named Shadow shes pretty cool but Ajoono named after that Santana lyric, tortoise shell, was the best ever
Now I have to laugh, I had 2 dogs, named them Willie and Nelson. When out calling them in the neighbors would be in stitches laughing. They're both gone now, God how I miss them doggies.
This song is a significant cultural moment
Willie's voice will always soothe my soul ❤
Thanks Willie!
I saw Willie at the 1981 Illinois State Fair. I remember thinking that his voice sounded as great live as it did on his recordings.
Willie is one of the finest musicians to have ever come out of America. By any standard, Willie is THE voice of America.
He sure is the best.
Not with this one he ain’t, he sadly missed a great opportunity to sing about the fact America currently has no border. As much as I love and respect musicians, too few have the courage to speak out and sing out like they did in the 60’s and 70’s.
I agree. American treasure.
He is a legend, and still putting out great music.
I a 71 year ol Aussie been listening to Willie since I was 9 years young.
I got to meet him Brisbane Australia I think it was mid 1990s I wore a red bandanna to the concert he threw all his bandannas into the audience he gave the one he was wearing to a child sitting in the front row they were beside me .
A song or two later I took my bandanna off walked a few steps and handed it to Willie he got down on his knee we shook hands and he put my Bandanna on .
Life is full of surprises and events I would not have dreamed that would happen when I was 9 years old. To the greatest Country Singer of all time
That’s a pretty cool story. Thanks for sharing.
I’m a 71 yo Aussie too! Living in good ole Texas! Willie is the best 😀
@@lindaange3920I live in Texas, too. I have heard that Australia has a climate similar to Texas. I would like to experiment with raising Wallabe's and Koala's here. Do you have any suggestions?
How is it possible that Willie Effing Nelson doesn’t have a million subscribers on CZcams!?!?
Okay. I subscribed 🙂
Amen. Just what I was thinking. Shows our times, sadly. But the good ones are here, we’ll always support him. Fair to say many of his supporters aren’t avid CZcams subscribers. A lot of good folk will watch stuff but never subscribe to the artist. But ofc it helps and makes an impact! Just spread the word. As long as we have and use YT let’s support our legends!! There aren’t many still with us. ❤
Religion and truth is revealed through heart ache.
So will I. Embarassed to say i hadnt heard of him, but saw him in Monk and was hooked immediately
Yes I was surprised when I saw that you too..where you watching from?
This is why since a very young boy I have considered myself a fan of a true American Icon. This piece creates your own visual cinema. And this hero of mine is a true legend and still doing it almost 100yr. I'm almost 60yr. And sometimes I need a kick in my pants to honor and pay homage to my elders and heros.✌️ Willie, I truly love you.
For those of you who are confused, willie nelson doesn't support Trump, however he does support weed legalization
Well said, Willie is one of the GREATS if not the GREATEST!
That was lovely said!❤ Had just pretty much had same sentiment, just one of the many heroes I feel blessed to have been alive during this run in history. We need all that we can get at the moment 😵💫 those are the things, music, writers, you know, anything you choose to turn it all OFF 👍
@@nathanielsmith4041 He doesn’t actively support anyone. He knows country music fans are mostly conservative, and he loves his fans. Sure, he likes his weed, and has his songs about that… but Willie is not anywhere close to a Left Coast woke progressive.
@@nathanielsmith4041 i wasn't confused until i saw your comment. OP didnt mention any of that
As a retired Supervisory Border Patrol Agent , I appreciate artists like Mr. Nelson who take the time to sing about our difficult but rewarding job. God Bless all our brothers and sisters in Green. Honor First!
God bless our CBP and I.C.E. God bless America! ❤
RIP BRIAN TERRY. We never will forget.
Didn't listen to the whole song, did you?
SALUTE to our Border Patrol n Willy for speaking up for them!!!!
Thank You Border Patrol for Your Service
You realize he's also supporting the immigrants looking for a better life??
Salute to humanity. Border patrol and immigrants alike.
you completely missed the point of this song
@@weenis2876 there b a doctor Hook song about that..." I got Stoned and I missed it"
I love you Willie! ❤❤ No one ever talks about the border patrol agents and how dangerous it is. Be safe guys and God bless you. Thank you for your service 🙏
I want to strike 90 and be like Willie: younger than yesterday.
The Real life of a border agent. We need to continue praying for all these men & women that protect our country, borders, and families. God bless everyone.
Didn't listen to the whole song, did you?
An old school yet modern cowboy song by one of country musics oldest living outlaws.
Once in a lifetime that's Willie Nelson please don't leave us.
Willie Nelson forever on the road writing the poetry of the USA.
Nelson is telling both sides of the story. Human beings on both sides with real lives and real stories. Thanks., Willie.
I'm smoking one right now and Willie Nelson is the entertainment. Doesn't get much better than that.
Sounds like you had a good time
You don't want to smoke that stuff. It will make you obsess over guitars and basses and drums and keyboards and strings and stompboxes and amplifiers and microphones and Public Address and picks.
"Life is goood, if You let it" ~ a Mentor, Grey Eagle 🦅
Ah, the good old days...
Wow, Willie is a classic style only he can do, this is why the world loves him,..When a life in a condition or situation needs to be told, if there's a story there, he'll tell it in his classic style, we can find our own story there,..🇺🇸🙂

Willie is an American institution. His songs are in our soul.
Im still a kid compaired to Willie , I was born in 73 and I can remember enjoying his music all through my life I watched every movie he was in and thank the lord I was able to see and hear his art
Wow, does Willie get any better? He's like fine wine that gets better with age.
God bless our border patrol personnel. Thank you, Willie Nelson for bringing this to light there is so much more that they do and the support they receive is so necessary.
Didn't listen to the whole song, did you?
Willie FOREVER! Still making the most amazing, beautiful music... Thank you God, for Willie. May his music, play forever in our hearts. 💜🙏💜
That's amazing 😘 Willie Nelson is the absolute best group in country music!! There is not one song, Willie Nelson have ever recorded, that I'm not in love with❤ I saw them in concert long time ago and I enjoyed the moment with them, Have you attained to his concert before?
Willie- I have never had a song touch me so deep in my soul. I worked under 4 different administrations and honestly, they all sucked for us. Since 99 in Arizona (and before that in California) it seems like trying to do your job with both hands tied behind your back.
Those boys in Texas violated policy. But everyone was violating policy there. What the 8th circuit did to them was unconscionable. And even though we are 9th circuit, we took notice.
You can get health insurance for when you get banged up, you can get life insurance if you have to pay the ultimate price. But you can’t get “I was doing my job now I’m going to prison” insurance.
Thank you Willie for trying to bring attention to the folks trying to protect our border. 💕
They deserved to go to prison. Willie knows it.
Haughtingly Beautiful;
The Legendary,Iconic,National Treasure..... Mr. Willie Hugh Nelson....Y'all !!
Bless you,Willie.

I think Willie knows more about the border than the president..
It would not take that much to know more then Biden. Our true president is TRUMP!
Oh hush. It's your political party that refuses to vote for the bill to help out at the border! Why don't you pay attention to what's going on and stop believing right wing propaganda! You'll probably vote for the racist orange crook who told Republicans not to vote for a border bill that was even supported by border patrol so shut it
That’s because Willie cares, and our president does not care about it.
Everybody knows more about the border than the president and the government. We care.
That's not hard.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ gorgeous arrangement of this Rodney Crowell song. Thanks Willie and Freinds.
Willie didn’t write it??
@@melaniepenelope_ rodney crowell wrote The Border.
Rodney Crowell did in fact write this song a few years ago
Man, Willie is the man with truth on his lips...thank you in a day of lies from our government....we the people know the truth....thank you brother..... still got it...
NO. You do NOT know!..
Real eyes realize real lies. Godspeed
Oh really? What do you think is the truth?
Iam addicted to the Nelson s music and love them all dearly as thier music brought me out of deep depression when I lost my husband of 32 years . I have been a fan since I was 4years old and am 76 now ❤🌹❤️💋
God bless you, you got me beat! I’m 58 but he is my all-time favorite too - been listening to him since my older brother went to college in Texas and brought back a couple Willie albums and got me into country music (which wasn’t what kids in the DC suburbs in Maryland were listening to). Saw him a couple years back (for the 3rd or 4th time), and the man STILL puts on a great show!
This is a magnificent ode to the hard working men at the border. Exquisite music. And Willie. Willie at his best. Thank you Willie for all that you are and all you have shared.
It's also an ode to the immigrants seeking a better life by crossing the border.
If you have never been to one of his concerts you don't know what you are missing, amazing man he played for 4 &1/2 hours in the poring down rain. Skull bone Tennessee is where I had the privilege of witnessing this
Just listening to Willie & Trigger on a haughting Border song 🎵 in 2024 ❤️👍
Beautifully written by Rodney Crowell!! Willies a hard-core Democrat which surprises me he sang this but with respect nobody could have done it better Fine work Pancho!! GOD bless our Border Patrol and our Military!!
Man!!! I didn’t know Willie was A Liberal. 😡
We all know Willie likes his liberalism but we have no doubt in our mind who is vote will be for
Do not be fooled, willie is beholden to those who control him( notice the song blames mexico?) Devils in the details.
I didn't know Willie was a Democrat either! Man, what a shock and surprise! And, he's a Texan too, which makes it all the more surprising.
Willie is from a time when Democratz werent all liberal freaks.
There used to be a thing called a "moderate" democrat. More of a centralist mentality. I can only see him through that filter. This man is too real to support evil.
I USED to be a democrat 30 years ago....THE PARTY CHANGED....our government changed 😢
LIBERTARIAN is truly the fair, just, and right way. Right wing or left wing....they are both wings of the same bird.
THE BIRD IS THE PROBLEM.
Goodness, this is powerful. Centuries of pain and struggle distilled into five minutes. Willie Nelson is living American history.
Tell Beyoncé to take notes. THIS is what country music from a Texan is.
Willie didnt write this song.
Tell beyonce? more like tell the bro country to make something worth listening to
Even beyonce genre bouncing is better than the garbage that spoiled frat boys are putting out in the name of country
@@Peppers19781978 Bless your heart, way to miss the point lol.
@@Peppers19781978 you think B writes all her stuff? Do you know how music production works?
Ya, Beyoncé and pretty much every other Country Singer/band…. Bunch of crap
Papa Willie… I can see the movie. You always know how to tell the story.

Putting on The Dukes of Hazzard tonight!
@@nathanielsmith4041To the guy that had to bring politics into the room, I bet if you asked Willie he'd tell you he supports Trump, The U.S. Constitution, & America! 🇺🇸
Oh yes he does and that always amazes me..where are you watching from?
Another classic from Willie!!! A great story about Texas History. Thank you Willie Nelson❤️🙏😎
this is a cover...
I don't feel like this is country.
There is country, rock, pop, rap and Willie.
Willie has a genre of his own.
God bless him.
IMO, one of the last outlaws. An artist who has played with legends (Wayland,Cash,Haggard,Jones etc.).How can one single out one story when everyone of them is a piece of HIStory. VIVA WILLIE
Song makes me think of Theodore L. Newton and George F. Azrak (Newton-Azrak Award) men that lost their lives serving the US Border Patrol. Many recipients of this award.
Thank you guys.
RIP BRIAN TERRY. We never will forget.
The same good old wine from the same single barrel. For more many years of creation dear Willie 🍷
It's not just the decent people of America who hear exactly what Willie is saying in this song , the people of great Britain feel the words of this song very deeply.
Willie speaking the Truth, once again. God Bless You, Willie.
I'm in Oaxaca 🇲🇽. Parrot on shoulder. We are dancing to The Border. You are the best Willie Nelson. Giving us hope and the brilliance of your music. Gracias ❤
Un amor de America! 🇺🇸
My Friends of Oaxaca should be in Oaxaca too, the US denies Citizenship to my undocumented loves ones in our own lands , and other people get to enjoy the culture, it's not supposed to be this way
Still telling the story that needs to be told Mr.Nelson...✌
Amen!
That’s why we love him 😊

Excellent. It's not country, it's not rock. It's just pure. In the tradition of all the great songs in history, Willie strikes at the heart of all people, their trials, suffering, joy, duty, and desires. Some might call it folk....I call it Willie Nelson.
years back Mr. Nelson came to perform at the Waikiki Shell, didn't have a ticket but bought one outside for the regular price, it ended up being a front row seat. I will never forget that performance.
Another Willie classic. Loved it. Thanks Willie.

God Bless Willie! An American icon 😎🇺🇸
Love this Willie. Texas song through and through. God I miss her. Always keeping it real. God bless you and your family. Thank you for years of good honest music. Never got to see you live . Always wanted to I'm 66 so dont think i will but have to say, you have always been my favorite artest. Always will be. Take care and have a blessed life.❤❤❤
The same for me. I am 66 too and I wanted to see him in Paris.
