This poor, disheveled, angry man sitting there with his flags and his signs believes Trump _cares_ about _him._
That's the saddest thing I've heard all day.
trump would call him a loser, and i would agree
Trump cares about the cash in his pocket
In reality, Trump only cares about that guy’s money.
It's also hilarious
He should try going to a trump hotel

"I want them to come legally!"
They're claiming asylum outside a port of entry. That's literally the legal process for claiming asylum.
When you explain that to these people their eyes gloss over and you can literally watch their brain glitch in real time before they repeat their talking points.
Exactly and it's an invasion, not funding for the process to be more efficient is a disgrace.
Where many are entering are not legal points of entry. So, no, it's not legal. It's actually against the process, broken as it may be, but still illegal.
@mariev6108 Nope, international law says its cool.
This!
Flying the Confederate flag is the opposite of showing your love for America.
Exactly, it means youre against America and for its enemies, alot of American lives were wasted in that war, along with the fact of Slavery...
Don’t secede from your country just because they don’t want you to own black people, kids.
The Confederate flag is the Battle Flag of the seditious Southern states of the UNITED STATES of America, that chose to secede from Our Union in order so they could abolish federal laws they didn't support, especially laws interfering with the South's right to keep slaves!
The Confederate Flag is 100% anti-American.
It is NOT part of the South’s heritage, it is a flag made to represent violent seditionists!!!
We the People, that want to keep Our Republic from becoming an authoritarian Christo-Fascist dictatorship MUST
VOTE OUT maga GOP fascists and re-elect Pres Biden in November 2024.
Then, We the People must push Congress to enact new laws to make the ‘next trump’ unable to call treasonous people ‘patriots’ as they violently attack Our Capitol, #endCitizensUnited, repeal Electoral College, Term Limits for all, especially SCOTUS, and perhaps age limits, and truly make the United States of America a bastion for democracy and freedom FOR ALL that live in the USA!!!
✊🏼✊🏽✊🏻⚖️🗽🇺🇸
When fascism comes to America, it will be wearing a red hat, draped in the American flag and carrying a cross.
Germany banned the sway-sticker, we should ban the confederate flag
Well, they don't love America. They love their hatred-romaticized version of America.
A white men saying this is my land 😂😂 that one never gets old
Especially since it was most definitely not his land. Sounds about wight.
Took the land from Mexico who took the land from Spain who took the land from Native Americans but it’s his land lol. Me think he is afraid they are going to take their land back 😂

How the f do people still use this? 🤯
@@localCrowsThey don’t!
That really p*ssed me off. Gawd these GOP are evil and their voters are dumb as dirt!
Does that scare you?
"Don't come."
Could you be more clear?
"Please don't come."
😂😂😂😂😂 I want that person to be my friend.
President Biden uttered pretty much those exact words some time ago. Millions of 'migrants' and 'asylum seekers'- almost none of which are actually either one- ignored him and came here illegally anyway. Why? Because they knew Biden wasn't serious. There is simply no way that ten million people can cross our southern border illegally without the active cooperation of the Biden Administration.
Me too 😂
Right!? I would NOT have said please when I was "clearer".
As someone from Eagle Pass, I cannot stress how badly we want them to leave.
Sorry y’all’re caught in the middle of this bs
Then it didn't make sense to torch the bill that Senator Lankford negotiated. It sure was better than doing nothing at all!
@@4poorpilot A mediocre bill is worse than no bill at all. And a city like mine shouldn't be garnering this false narrative and even worse, the repercussions that it has. There's no need to make our city the epicenter for this issue. They chose the battle ground, and I hope we are loud enough to make them regret it.
It’s the same here in Brownsville, it’s so blown out of proportion.
@@joselira7779 that’s false. The bill allows for closing of the border when the BP deems it necessary. How is that worse than no bill at all.
The irony that Europeans escaping monarchies and religious suppression crossed the ocean to come to the us and invaded the native lands for a better life
The Puritans, even their own countrymen were thrilled to see them leave England.
In all fairness, it was the power hungry that caused the most damage...many people from all across Europe really did want what Madison, Jefferson, Washington, etc. truly came here for....I'm not mistaken, it's still the power and greed keeping that from being pur reality. We're getting closer though...vote blue!!!!
@@kc.jeffery They came here for the slavery and free land that was stolen from the Native Americans and that is a fact since slavery was not legal in England itself.
but they're white so republicans don't care
Not only that they came with diseases that almost killed them.
As Mexican I started to cry when she said wetbacks. For a minute I thought the racist forgot about us.
They’ll never forget they just hate us a little less than other minorities.
I’m so sorry that some people haven’t got any humanity and say vile things about other people they don’t even know. Please believe that most Americans don’t believe the lies or share the hate, and are trying to get rid of trumpism and cruelty. You are welcomed.
It's very upsetting. We never had this kind of racism in Southern Texas when I was growing up, it used to be something in the past.
So sorry for her stupidity for that comment..I was taken aback by that myself. And tried to clean it up with a straight face lie.
They'll never forget, black, Mexican, the list goes on. Never try to shrink and hide, because they won't stop.
My jaw dropped when she said that. Dropped even farther when she essentially tried to justify the term. Not so vintage, evidently. Just f-ing unreal.
Considering WHO said it, what'd you expect! HA--HA she's GONE anyway!
They don’t want them to come legally. If they did they’d push for immigration reform. Take it from an immigrant from Germany who has seen first hand how ridiculously difficult the immigration process is.
I've been there and various places along the border, and this is the truth. These communities are fine and have been dealing with immigration for decades. It is the politicians who are creating turmoil and chaos at the borders.
Thank You! Same here in San Diego!
When the border was drawn, it crossed through the territories of three tribes. Those folks have grandma on one side and aunts on the other side.
That border is less than 200 years old. Migration is older than the human race.
It’s the other states that have to deal with them
@@blindsamurai102 You have been ill-informed due to right wing propaganda and the political machinations of right wing governors and politicians.
That's great. Ask New York City how it's going for them.
Thank you for this. They keep calling an invasion but us residents of Eagle Pass know the truth. The only fear we get is seeing all these military vehicles all over town and all these MAGA convoys passing through. Our town is majority Hispanic and our economy only thrives because of our relationship with Piedras Negras!!
We are a country of immigrants! And immigration empowers our economy!
But it doesn’t empower white people. That’s the real issue.
That land they are on - was Mexico
I died with the "pendejo" lady!!!! Great work Michael!
I live in North Tx., admittedly not the border, but every time I hear this "invasion" rhetoric, I just shake my head. If we're being "invaded," life here surprisingly goes on as normal.
Then you are lucky. Many are not, and many more still have the brains to see how it has effects outside of direct issues. Educate yourself before your brain falls out of your fat head 😊
Yeah, because they are coming in New York
@@agimhoti6954 🗽
Yeah, it's a real blitzkrieg, huh? /s
I live along the STX border and for as long as I can remember come election time the border is a "problem," according to most republican trash. Honestly, as someone from a border a border town, I'm sick of it and so are many from the community. There is nothing happening here that BP hasn't been able to handle over the last 20+ years of my lifetime.
She doesn’t know that seeking asylum is legal.
@@rnr4204LOL that's rich. the totally ignorant trying to be informative.
@@rnr4204 Application for asylum must take place either within the US or at its ports of entry, and the laws surrounding it recognize the impossibility of all applicants going through lengthy VISA or work permit processes beforehand. What's more, the legal criteria for refugees can be met long before official asylee status is granted. You would know all this if you understood the laws you cite.
If you also understood history, you'd know that seasonal migration back and forth over the southern border has been a constant throughout the country's existence. Our so-called "border problem" was created when politicians seeking a cause to run on boosted "border security", stranding millions of people who previously moved legally, but were now classed as "undocumented". You and your ilk have used bureaucracy as a screen for bigotry and ignorance.
@@vondondolo1582Very well said, let's see if they reply or run away....
I know! They think people just cross and enter society. 🤦
@@rnr4204Hey friend, they don't just walk across and disappear into society. They have to register and appear at a series of meetings before they can integrate.
You should know this.
Haha he absolutely stumped him with that spray tan questions! 😂
I’m a Texan. I just moved to another state. Texas is insanity. I love my home but I can’t continue to be apart of the foolishness.
Everyone who says they want them to come legally…
But refuse to make laws to make it legal.
The bigger problem is the lack of funding to keep the immigration courts moving.
And Trump told the Congress not to bring to a vote the bipartisan border bill that would have helped everybody. I worked on the border one summer there was a "crisis". It was the quietest place, and quietest job I've ever had, As a border guard told me, "Our work is mostly rescuing people in the desert."

I love the “do it legally” trope. They know full well that the ‘legal’ way is so difficult as to be realistically undoable.
"Please don't come. "
That got me.
Talking to the Trump tourists, media, and ridiculous numbers of armed troops.

There's something about the visual metaphor of 'completely boxing yourself in with political signboards and then yelling pointlessly at anyone who engages with you' that is satisfyingly ironic.
The confederate flag was a nice touch 😂
But when I ask other delusional MAGAts about it, they somehow have never witnessed any one in their ranks flying one or it’s the democrats that are flying it 😂
These people are too far gone

The Daily Show correspondents have incredible investigative journalism chops.
Great reporting. More interviews like this, please.
When a comedy show does the reporting and gets to the heart of a story. News media needs to do better.
Unfortunately, with Murdock, etc gripping our media tight, independent journalists and comedians are our only hope.
Poor little America...so little space to share...so few workers needed... Funny how old migrants (the US citizenry) resent others doing what their forefathers did.
Yeah no kidding, there are so many help wanted signs where I live it's ridiculous. Could really use a few of those migrants right about now. It would really help stimulate the local economy.
I say that exact same thing about the people who parents migrated here from other countries to say they should not be here. And that spoiled racist bigot look like a total idiot. The description of Archie Bunker was ...a loud mouthed bigot who believes every stereotype he ever heard....and I love watching Archie Bunker...
We've done this to every new group of people entering the U.S. in large numbers. The Irish during the potato famine, the Italians are two groups of people who had really horrible things said about them. We have never learned, and it's disgusting that it continues by some of the same groups whose ancestors had some of the same things happen.
When they say they 'want them to come legally' that's the "polite sounding" way to say they don't want them to come at all.
They block every avenue for them to come legally.
That's true but i wish they had talked about this: in this case of refugees, under both international and us immigration law, asylum seekers have the right to cross any border at any crossing, even over a fence, in order to apply for asylum. Every refugee regardless of entry is following the law.
In “8 U.S. Code § 1158 - Asylum”, under “Authority to apply for asylum”, current U.S. law says the following are eligible to apply for asylum: “any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival)
It's not just American law it's a core part of the Geneva convention America signed. Asylum is a fundamental right and an international obligation for countries, as recognised in the 1951 Geneva Convention on the protection of refugees. It allows asylum seekers to cross borders at any point to safety before applying.
It's a pretty fundamental ethical imperative Western countries adopted to allow refugees fleeing death and war to atleast reach safe soil and apply for asylum, and it was adopted after world war ii in part because the us and many other countries turned boats of German jews back to the Nazis.
Asylum seekers are required to touch American soil by lawful port before they can legally apply. So they are already following the law. Just as Syrian refugees in Europe are despite European fascists. And it is important America starts remembering it's responsibilities to refugees and remembering why the Geneva convention is important. Forgotten history repeats itself.
And Abbott has been in office how long and yet no funding for the process to go faster. Failed democracy with everyone. Stop whining about Biden.
No one ever seems to ask where are these people coming from and why. Maybe we could try to solve a problem before it gets to the border.
That slur just rolled of her tongue😮 yikes.
Abbott is using and abusing that town.
While lining the pockets of his military supply buddies. Feeding, toiletries, housing, etc etc for all those national guard members is stuffing millions & millions of dollars into his friends bank accounts. It's just a gigantic government grift

@@jamesmcdaniel5094True, but most of these are not climate refugees they are refugees from autocracies put into office by Dole Fruit and other multinational corpse headquartered in the US.
This is the actual truth, though only the tip of the actual iceberg of what affect we've had on South America. It's not like we sat back and did nothing. We actively went down there, fought against Democracy, and installed dictators because it's easier to deal with a Dictatorship than a Democracy(we invented the words Banana Republic) when you want to establish American corporate rights to businesses exploiting the resources of these countries. We've even assassinated leaders who wished to interfere with our corporate elite's interests in the region.
Read General Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket" if you want to get an idea of what he was commanded to do during his time in the military enforcing the interests of private businesses in South America. Our hooks are very deep in most of these countries, and we do it for our own economic reasons, we are now reaping what we've sown.
@@jamesmcdaniel5094 The US is the #1 cause of climate change. Yes, China emits more now, but not in lifetime emissions. The effect you see now is primarily caused by Western industrialization for the last two centuries.
For example, North America has emitted the same amount as all of Asia despite Asia being 10x larger in population. The EU is equal to the rest of the world (outside North America and Asia) combined. In fact, they're bigger than all of Asia (outside China and Japan) + Africa + Oceania + South America.
As someone who lives in a Western nation, WE are the leading cause of climate change currently. China and India will eventually surpass us as the cause but they haven't yet so all the effects you see now can be attributed to us.

@@sea_triscuit7980 we should not call them any name “racist or any other adjective” just ask them which country and flag they take their legions and oath since they were so upset when a quarterback exercised his given free right to protest by kneeling against national anthem which is flag with 13 stripes and 50 stars (red and blue) not any other color with a picture of some former President or Gun (somebody should ask them if you were upset of kneeling why you are not carrying our flag …not a confederate flag)!!!!
Excellent report of the truth!
Thanks for Sharing this We all need to know
I really appreciated how this piece managed to allow both perspectives to have a say. One side did seem a little better.
Imagine waving the Confederate flag... then calling the Democrats KKK!
Had me in the first half ngl
The guy who boxed himself in with the signs is the poster child for the Republicam party 😂.

This is a gem.
excellent reporting 😂
Put this on every media network!
Stellar reporting Mr. Costa! 😅
It would be nice if politicians and pundits would ASK the people they're talking about if there really is a problem at all.
their job vs the job they want to do. their job is to be the voice of their people. the job they want to do is to tell the people what problems they have and then those problems disappear when they win the election since they never actually existed.
if they lose they proceed to complain about the other party not solving the problems they made up and that party can never solve fictional problems
🤣🤣🤣.... OK, this one caught me off guard! Especially the beginning.
Excellent segment!
Needs to be seen by every American
That's how i felt when they sent in the guard to Minneapolis, my home.
