US-Mexico border tensions: Political stand-off over migrant crossings
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 02. 2024
- The US Congress is considering a measure that would shut down its southern border with Mexico if the daily average of migrant crossings exceeds five thousand.
That's well below the current number of crossings as migrants and asylum seekers from Latin America flee to the US.
Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro reports from the border town of Eagle Pass in Texas.

No border no country
Kool-Aid taste so good
That goody lady....are we supposed to believe that MILLIONS have surged our borders for clean socks? 😂
LOL I ask myself how many pairs of socks she bought for the illegals...dat funny!
Lol
She definitely looks cartel to me.
😂😂😂 right!!
@@DeeSmith001for sure
Not anti immigration, anti open border.
🙏👍👍👍👍
Anti-Invasion.
Regardless of your political affiliation, how can someone be ok with illegal immigration?
No one is. Why does the right call asylum seekers illegal immigrants? The illegal border crosses are being deported as soon as they are caught. Get a grip
One comment was deleted. I wonder why?
I wonder why comments are being deleted?
He who neglects his house inherits the wind,
A country w open borders!!!! It’s insane
Bias reporting and not very balanced. Fail
if you haven't figured it out already AJ is anti-Israel anti -USA
It's so biased even Biden went right
Why do we need a federal government, each state has their own government
Are these people well in their heads? How on earth to legalize illegal border crossing?
Mexicans have every right to be in America because they are the rightful natives
Yes ,,, they're super sick in their head.
They're called "liberals" and if they don't get their way, they scream at the sky.
Three replies, yet only one shown. I wonder why?
@@chrisgardner4222 The people that own CZcams are Nazis, which is ironic, seeing as how they're Jews.
Over 1.5 million illegal aliens a year FJB and his regime.
Theres been a million thatve crossed since September i heard
Greg Casar needs voted out. Then he needs to read the Constitution which IS the law of our land. Texas has declared A STATE OF EMERGENCY. THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER.
AWESOME POST!!!! YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH......The People always have the power, it's ashame that Millions of Americans don't understand that or are to scared to use the power we have.
Texas, doing very good job, thank you, Texas.
bunch of disgusting racists fucs thats what you are
How do you figure? LOL
NO SWEETIE THEY DONT JUST WANT FOOD AND WATER. THEY WANT MY WHOLE AMERICAN LIFE INSTEAD OF ME HAVING IT
They want their "American Dream" which is a joke.
😂😂
you stole this land from my native people, you also destroyed it
@@mayamachineYour people aren't from here either.
So proud of the governors
For standing up for American people and 🇺🇸 America ❤❤❤
its their f in job ...
Then u take them in ur home
You support them. Open your home not mine
The influx of undocumented immigrants from South to North America sparks concerns about intentional economic destabilization and potential voter impact. There's a perceived urgency in Texas for citizens to take action, believing it's crucial to prevent unchecked immigration to safeguard the economy and resist perceived government-led risks of destabilization.
Some border crossers say they are here to join military. Selective Service System for asylum seekers, immigrants, refugee's .
Translation: I'm afraid of more brown people coming here.
Why would we allow them to join the military when they weren't willing to stay and fight for they're own home country... People will say anything to receive free stuff @@KathyJensen-vh2yk
did you copy and paste this from "cnn or fox" "news" sheople ...
It's been going on the entire biden administration why is everyone freaking out now? Lol
How about removing the borders doors windows and fences to all open border supporting democrats peronal homes. 🤔
That's working out just swimmingly for NY and Chicago.
The women that said " they just want some socks, food and water", then what's next. these people live in countries that they have populated their country that can't support the population so now we are suppose to take care of them. We have enough of on own that live off the people that produce.
What they needed was birthcontrol. Now they are burdens.
Thank God for Governor Abbott
Pouch Abbott.
For importing scores of Indian Hindus who will take all of your jobs.
@sdoot , really? Send me a link, plz
@@senorsunset, really, send me a link about that, please and ty.
@@nancydroll6523 I tried to post them but they deleted them. Try googling "Indians are taking over corporate America". The return from the Fortune Website will tell you everything you need to know.
Texas has 30 million people which makes Texas a very powerful State by itself. But to have the support of 25 other states is very difficult for the Federal government to fight.
Hooe, Amercia dont run out of money because we could become a third world if we run out of resources.
I'm curious how much tax payer money these governor's have paid out for all the protection their providing. Have we gotten the vets off the streets yet? Protect the border yes but at what cost, they're not paying for all this we are. What ever just more government spending in sure we can afford it.
@@teresamahoney4978 Whatever this event is costing the American taxpayers, it's a mere drop in the bucket compared to the roughly 200 billion that the U.S. government has been providing to Ukraine and Israel.
Regardless, I sincerely appreciate your concerns for the veterans in Texas and across America.

Thank you TEXAS, and

You want them here pay for them we as tax payers shouldnt have to
The border patrol is helping illegal immigrants cross the border.😅
Just like Biden
@@truthsay000just like abbott idiot...the useless fool who brings in immigrants by bus with no due process and sends them to sanctuary cities.......pathedic much
It’s about time our borders are protected!
I appreciate the Gov stance and diligence
Thank you governor Abbott god bless Texas & the United States of America.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Yes the children of Uvalde would also like to express what a piece of human feces you are. Way to fix that power grid. I love how all you morons want to act like this hasn't been a problem since ALF was a weekly sitcom on TV. All the sudden, you have no country. Go ask the farmers down in FL how their doing since their genius of a Gov scared away all the Brown people. In case you haven't noticed Mark, you live in a country full of immigrants. Where is all your out rage with you buddies the Republicans who could have already solved this but didn't they are in the Majority, wake up dummy.
God wouldn't bless a land full.of fake hypocrite false christian folk who only care about themselves and not the poor..learn hypocrite
They need to show the government this is not a stunt..
That Greg Casar guy talking getting my nerves. Have you see what going. They crossing over thousands a day, this is unsustainable for American 🇺🇸
Casar is a left wing, progressive democrat, born to Mexican emigrants. His blatant bias is palpable. He fits in very well with Biden's DEI agenda.
Once again, my comment has been removed in just a few hours. So, I'll try once again.
Greg Casar is a left wing, progressive Democrat, born of Mexican emigrants. His heritage and obvious political bias fits in quite well with Biden's DEI agenda.
Our taxes and laugh at us

I stand for texas
Great job Governor Abbott.
the wire concern, was, environmental concern. They were allowed to cut the wire for that reason. Not for illegal crossings. The nasty river is not a legal point of entry. Its behind there where the bridge is.
Didn't Al Jazeera get kicked out of the United States
Actually, it was RT that was banned across the U.S. MSM a few years ago. Apparently, it was too much Putin disinformation for Americans to handle. LOL However, you can still watch RT on a few independent internet sites. I've been watching RT for many years. I appreciate a different slant on various issues, rather than the proven propaganda our own MSM spews out on a daily basis.
As for Al Jazeera English, they have a reporter who's permitted to ask questions during White House press briefings.
I posted a similar comment a few hours ago, so I'll try once again.
Even though you might be punching up, CZcams doesn't seem to like it when you make comments about the truthfulness of our government or MSM.
A few years ago it was RT that our government banned across the U.S. MSM. The "supposed" issue was that it contained too much Russian propaganda. For many years, I had enjoyed watching RT because it gave me a more balanced picture of what was happening around the world, instead of relying solely on our biased MSM. As you may have known there were a number of prior U.S. news commentators who worked for RT. Actually, I believe you can still watch RT on a few independent internet sites.
n response to your question about Al Jazeera English, they presently have a correspondent who sits in and asks questions during recent White House press briefings.
I will send them some sox if they stay away 😂
WHY???!!!! OUR CONSTITUTION RIGHT.
Imagine standing around somewhere thinking you’re making a difference 😂
Keep it up Texas. Abbot is that dude!!
America is a occupying force on native land,
And it will stay that way.😊
That rhetoric is getting rather pathetic
@@brucemcglasson Tribal Nations are buying their land back more than you realize and more than the media will air. My Grandfather's tribe just bought back thousands of acres of beach property they fished on for thousands of years. 😁
@@petervizzini4006 the truth is never pathetic.
@@misscarla1178 So why do you keep up with the whole stolen land narrative. America bought its territory from other countries
The wind does not respect a fool.
It is NOT a Clause in the US CONSTITUTION. I will wager Greg Abbott has NEVER even READ the actual US CONSTITUTION.
It dont matter right or left democrat or republican its time to take control with or without the governments or A PRESIDENTS HELP!
Texas stand strong. We the people are behind you. People stay armed.
The American people support Texas.❤
God Bless Governor Albott
Conservatives be like, "Oh no! The liberal socialist commie foreign boogeyman is gonna get me!" 😂😂😂
Are you a liberal socialist commie? I bet you are.😂😂😂
There's just too many people coming through
FJB!!
Virginia You need to take reality pill. Im all about humanitarian aid. The current situation is unsustainable and it doesn't help anyone. We need to preserve precious resources for real Refugees fleeing active war Zones and let everyone in based on work demand in our country. They don't want to live under bridges with families to support without a job. It is also logical to require proof of a clean criminal record. Nobody wants criminal gangs setting up operations over here.
Very logical argument, unfortunately the Supreme Court was too hasty and politically biased to render a legitimate decision. So, get comfortable and break out the popcorn, the show is about to begin.
No more immigrants enough already. The Governor is doing the right thing
I taught us borders are in Syria and Iraq
Invasion. “Asylum?” The 21st Century Trojan Horse.
Water and socks? They have both from wherever they are coming from. That's a LIE! THEY WANT HOUSING, WORK, FOOD, AND MONEY.
I watched as many of them were walking along while holding their cell phones.
@@chrisgardner4222
Sure, nice hotels, meals paid for, the ability to work. It was a real invasion. Someone made alot of money.
Start with the law of fair elections .And peaceful transfer .. No evidence no case .And. You can't solve a crisis at the boarder with flirting with disaster .Nothing but trouble makers in my opinion.
The real trouble makers are Biden and his administration for allowing millions of illegals to enter our country for the past three years. Also, there's plenty of legal justification for what Governor Abbott is doing. I would assume you don't live in Texas or any of the other Mexican border states.
I posted this exact same comment about 9:30 PM PST. Let's see how long it lasts this time. "For the past three and a half years the real trouble makers have been Biden and his administration".
Biden: “Open the border”
Texas: “lol no”
STAND STRONG PATRIOTS OF TEXAS...
He have a right to do so.
Lol looks like the capital protesting against the districts
This video is like 2 days late. Lame
I'm actually glad not that many people want to live in the land of ice and snow.
My son and I, we would be very proud.
To drive from Tampa Florida to Texas. To help texas fight biden and the feds
Are you going to help drown women and children in the Rio grande
@@kiwi88377No, there going to save innocent lives from drowning by helping to close the border
Thanks agree with me❤❤
Abbott is doing great.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLES RIGHTS WILL NOT BE INFRINGED
NO DEAL. JUST CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER FROM TEXAS TO CALIFORNIA.
Even rodents attack rodents. Sad yet true..
Total Garbage
Shut our BORDERS
AMERICA FIRST. Let’s fix our house. Jesus what is going on
1:06 While I understand the narrative that AJE is trying to advance, the fact is that that's not what happened. The Supreme Court's guidance on this issue is much more nuanced, as it almost always is regarding the balance of powers between the federal and state governments.
Humans fighting against other humans
TRUMP 2024.
Love thy Neighbor
As a the Constitution, more like the TEXAS CONSTITUTION. Texas has a Militia and under it is the Texas National Guard, Texas Air National Guard, Texas State Guard administered by Texas Military Dept and under the command of the Texas Adjutant General.
Here is what it boils down to: The Patriots in this country are trying to save America, the others want to tear it apart. Its that simple!! Choose wisely!
That's why the democrats like to label them as "MAGA EXTREMISTS". TDS is running rampant across the left media. (MSNBC, CNN, etc.)
I'm an independent voter but from what I've been observing for a number of years, since Biden became POTUS, the hard left likes to portray patriots as nothing but crazy MAGA Trump supporters. In the meantime, democrats are doing their very best to undermine some of the basic rights and freedoms granted to the American people by both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. So, in this situation, I applaud Governor Abbott's efforts to defend Texas from illegal emigrants.
Why so much fascist in the comments?
GOD BLESS TEXAS AND GREG ABBOTT.
Get electric fences.
I have the actual words from the Texas Constitution Bill of Rights, Section 23.
It reads as follows:
"Every Citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in lawful defense of Himself or the State, but the Legislature shall have the Power, by Law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime. "
STAND STRONG GOV. ABBOTT
Such stupid bias from this channel. I will tell You Tube to not recommend. You don't know what you are talking about
OR
it is in your best interests to see the US a third World Country like the Middle East.
Google, Wikipedia and CZcams are rewriting history, censoring comments and spreading government misinformation, disinformation and, sometimes, maldisinformation ( i.e. Covid 19) . REMEMBER : Iraq's WMD's ? 9/11 cover up ? Vietnam War ? JFK assassination ?
It's been over 60 years since JFK was assassinated and the American public is still waiting to know the truth. It's been over 22 years since 9/11 and we're waiting to learn the truth. There are many thousands of government documents that are being kept secret from the American public. WHY?? What's being hidden?
If you're reading this comment, it probably won't be around long. ( prior U.S. Naval Officer / Pilot '71-'78)
I'll try once again to post a comment.
Google, Wikipedia and CZcams have been supplying and supporting misinformation, rewriting history and censoring comments. I've personally witnessed this happening on a number of occasions. You shouldn't believe anything you read or hear on any of these platforms.
These boomers worship Trump, not God. Words don't make you a Christian, actions do. These people have lost their souls.
And you Biden - what’s the difference Mr Christian
You liberals are the ones who worship at the alter of Big Government.
You are projecting like you liberals always do. I guess that you accuse others of what you hate about yourself.
are you going to take them into your home? God did not say be loving to those that want to kill you. Pure EVIL from the majority crossing ILLEGALLY now. FJB.
And if you still support Biden, you ought to keep your mouth shut and keep your tail between your legs.
@adhdflex613 "These boomers" That's hilarious !!! You've got everyone pigeonholed into neat little stereotypes, right?
I'm a boomer who was drafted to fight during Vietnam and I've never been a Trump supporter. However, I'm an independent voter who sees right through our two party duopoly, so I won't vote for either Biden or Trump. Never. Period.
(prior U.S. Naval Officer / Pilot '71'78)
to answer greg casar the reason they are doing this is because as the contstitutanial right to protect against foreign AND DOMESTIC!
Jesus, does anyone else understand exactly what he is actually proposing? Each State Constitution and Commonwealth, just as does the US Constitution have the same clauses, 'to defend Their Borders Against ALL Enemies, Foreign or Domestic," give or take the exact language in each State or Commonwealths Constitution. What this means essentially is this, theoretically, instead of using their States Militia in service to the President, which basically is normally only called upon overseas, the Governor of that State would Call for An Order of Defense of the Border Wall, very possibly BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. AND IF THAT DOESN'T SCARE YOU, IT SHOULD!
The blue wall is falling down.
For once I agree with the racists
Why cause Brandon won't do anything about it
They have socks and water and food where they came from SEND THEM BACK
It's All Corrupt It's All by Design
Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Its a Mexican stand off
And illegals keep crossing.
China supported North Vietnam during the war of America agression. Tet Offense ( Vietnam) was a turning point. China is using SAME playbook in USA now.
That's too deep for me. Please explain what China's playbook is now.
