We Camped Out On The Border To See What The So-Called Crisis Looks Like (HBO)

- In his never-ending push for a border wall, President Trump regularly warns of dangerous criminals pouring into the country, and horrific things happening to migrants when they try to make the journey north. Like women getting kidnapped, thrown into cars, and smuggled across unwalled sections of the border.
He told one such harrowing tale on live TV in the Rose Garden on January 25. He was announcing a temporary end to the government shutdown, but the assembled reporters were also treated to a minute-long yarn about kidnapped migrants.
Scary stuff (if unsubstantiated). So in the spirit of fact-checking, VICE News’ Alzo Slade went to the bootheel of New Mexico, an area that's seen an increase in Central American migrants seeking asylum in recent months, to hear if its residents had seen anything resembling Trump’s claims.
Spoiler alert: They hadn’t.
But just to be thorough, Alzo pitched a tent along an unwalled section of the border separating the U.S. from Mexico to see if he could catch those “criminal cartels, narco-terrorists, transnational gangs like MS-13 and human traffickers” the president says are pouring over the unwalled border before “they make a left or a right into the United States of America.”
What Alzo saw won’t surprise you either.

Try a different border location.
Y'all should change the title of the video to, "we proved nothing". You guys are basically claiming human trafficking to Mexico doesn't exist because you drove along the border for an hour.
Would you prefer to go over to Mexico side and see how easy it is to get across maybe hire a smuggler heard there nice people to
VICE News next: they make even more money
duct taper so keep moving til you find a caravan. You’d be better at a point of entry
The title should be renamed "We camped in a 1 mile radius on a 2,000 mile border".
...’’where we are told there is an active national emergency that justifies to activate special powers to fund a project that was refused by the elected members of congress’’
Or maybe "Overwhelming stampede of illegal immigrants that the president says are crossing the borders don't seem apparent"
@@mrneedlemau5441 you can't be that brainwashed. Why didn't they ride along with border patrol? Obviously there is going to be a lot of spots on the border with no crossers.
We're you expecting them to camp down the entire border?? What's your point?
Surely if there's a crisis, it should be visible along the entire border? Unless it's a "crisis" that's limited to areas where nobody happens to be able to film ever...
One day I went out fishing by the pier. I probably sat there almost the whole day, and didn't catch a single fish. So I assumed there's no fish in the ocean.....Went home so sad.....
a world without fish filet sammies!
Next time use bait!
Wow. That happened to Jim Acosta too when he found no one at the border wall. Seems like the wildlife knows better then to come out when humans who are looking for them come around!
Great analogy!
Great way to put it.
what a one sided reporting
yep b.s fake media .
Reading this comment makes me happy because it makes me realize people are waking up to biased media
The wall isnt for the whole border.
Conrad Remington you lived there, guess what? Wherever you live now you’re going to be affected, because they are pouring over the border now, I watch live video of 100’s and 20,000 more hitting the border now over 100,000 just this March. You and all the people are going to pay for this in the end, literally, you are now a baby daddy to these women and they’re coming in Pregnant, dragging other men’s babies you’re paying for. Lol. Hey poppy, how many babies you supporting now and you don’t even get visitation.
exactly HBO and vice with their lying bullshit news. Also this guys a fool..
Ome night in NM doesnt mean shit, you didnt see shit. Come to where I live (Tucson) and I'll take you on on a 30 min drive into real hell!! People who don't live by the border dont understand how much it affects us.
They can't go where the truth is. They have to do research to find the most remote place where no one would try and cross. This way their bullshit will make blind sheep think thete isn't a problem.
I agree. Where is McAllen, Tx. How bout Laredo,Tx? Or Eagle Pass? Del Rio? Rio Grande City? All these places I mention is where cartels control. Their control is what pushes the asylum seekers. That is only Texas. I. can only imagine Arizona. And California is worse!
I totally lost all respect for VICE news. When did they sell out.
I have been there and what you talkin bout willis
Grace C. @GraceC ... best line “whatchoo takin bout Willis?” If you remember The Drummond family, and Gary Coleman!! 😂😂😂!
Thanks for letting them know! I'm in West Tucson.
You’re mocking a serious problem. You aren’t in the right place
Why don’t you talk to the border patrol
They said most of the drugs crosses through check points
What about Human Trafficking? does that go through check points?@@mwnnazi6194
TheHockeyCardCrate Mandavia yup and through tsa as well
Pretty sure onw of thw documents snowden released proved that many people at the border actuallt just let people through. Idk if it was something snowden released or in a documentary, but it was something I def. Read or heard about.
MWN Nazi were did you get that information from? That doesn’t even make sense
This kinda reminds of Acosta's report from next to a wall
no that was the dumbest and funniest thing ive ever seen. standing next to a wall and talking about how there clearly isn't a problem with people crossing illegally. Of course not there is a wall right there next to you. that was the best he had to feel some dumb afterward, why his people didn't say something to him before hand Ill never figure out but im glad they didn't.
This is more FAKE NEWS by HBO and why I cancelled my subscription to HBO years ago.
exactly!
EXACTLY!!!
Sounds like antics that Baghdad Bob would use.
And you wonder why you're not taken seriously as a news organization.
i disagree clearly people watch and value them...how did you end up here if you didnt...sound like a fan to me
Yet losers like you will comment and create discussions which helps promote this video and the channel! You fools are so easy to exploit
The location was chosen carefully along with the time of year it was filmed.
I wouldn't doubt that.
Hachita New Mexico has a population of 49 and an elevation of 4,500 feet. It is 45 miles north of Antelope Wells, NM, on State Road 81, which is located at the Mexico border. Antelope Wells, population 2 (not a typo - population "two") is at an elevation of 4,665 feet. Aside from antelope, mountain goats and mountain lions I'm not sure exactly who or what would go there - somehow I don't think the cartels are doing a booming drug business in the boot heel of New Mexico. SR 81 is the only road that crosses the border between Hachita and Columbus, New Mexico (elevation 4,000 ft.) 45 miles to the east of Hachita (State Road 11) traveling along NM State Road 9. All of Grant County New Mexico has a population of 27,000, of which nearly half live in and around Silver City, New Mexico, which is 137 miles by road north of Antelope Wells and the border. Get real with your reporting or get a gig on Saturday Night Live.
Nice propaganda piece. Shows no truth whatsoever. I've seen the hordes coming across the border. They just picked a nice quiet place the coyotes haven't come to yet. The crisis is real, folks.
True.
yet you dont see when trump lies...you opinion is void
You were the original horde..
@@brittanybonnie1478 Go the Rio Grande River in Texas and see all the drug cartels and illegals crossing there.
🤜🤮🤛 45 is an asshole! We don't need it!
Until. We solve homeless in America and the majority are veterans with PTSD
Shut down the border
No more
We need to clean our house first
That's what I'm saying !
Why is it that people only care about homeless Veterans and mental illness when the topic of illegal immigration comes up? Oh that's right because people like you use them as a political ploy but don't actually care. Thanks to programs like SSVF and HUD-VASH the amount of homeless Veterans are decreasing significantly. And according to the National Coalition of Homeless Veterans, 11% of the homeless population are Veterans, so that's not the "majority" but you seem like the type who doesn't understand basic math. Save your fake, uneducated outrage for someone who wants to hear it, nopalera maria. A border shutdown is a horrible idea considering we get a lot of our fresh produce from Mexico. Food would become expensive and some might even struggle to eat.
Moron probably never served his country to under PTSD in the veteran community. Or work with first responders to see how much homeless care about bettering their lifes.
The help is out there. Many of my buddies are being helped with their PTSD. And not all homeless want to better themselves and get off the drugs
@@HotTea1111 i support that... It would crash the economy and finish trump off for good.... And i would be out of a job and homeless but i guess a small price to pay to save our country
@@mcf3778 You're not wrong. I just worry for the people in this country who will suffer. It's unfortunate that it's most likely going to take something like that to happen for people to take action.
Not even a lizard tries to get into the US in that area.
😂🤣😭😅😂🤣 That's what I'm saying!
Come over a little west...Agua Prieta Sonora... pretty sure you'd see some a little different..
Lizards are taking our jobs.
Good job cherry picking a non populated area. Go camping on the outskirts of a major city you'll see some foot traffic.
Yea cause illegals WANT to be seen crossing illegally in a populated city where most of the border patrol are with drones, helicopters, motion sensors, infrared night vision.
And this is one spot, in hundred of miles.
@@TheHop55 Nearly 2000 miles to be exact. They spent one whole night there.
Lol this segment is clearly going right over your head..the illustration here was not "see nothings going on at all ever on any day" it was to talk to the people who work at the border and to share what a majority of border-patrol duties are like and how we can provide more security for everyone and lessen the attitude of "build a wall and get the hell out of my country."
@@tjk9263. There is nowhere to hide out where they camped. Near a major city they can blend in almost instantly.
Is this really considered reporting? They cut out 90% of everyone's conversations I was really curious to see what the old man had to say at the gas station...
He looked like he was about to say something racist. Someone who says "let me tell ya!", and wags their finger is about to say something wild lol.
Not reporting, it’s called framing an issue for their own agenda that supports what they believe in
Erik McFarland think it’s just part of the full episode no?
It's usually a creepy mutipile meaning message and a warning to turn back.
I mean I would have been upset if some outsider came in talking shit about my home town buuuuut that's just me.
A real news crew would've joined up with the border patrol for a ride along, or found out where the busy crossings are. There are a lot of places where there is little to no activity at the border.
So what's the point of a wall if most cone by plane
@@theheadhunters806
Everybody that crosses the border illegally are criminals, as compared to everybody that comes by plane are legal, they have passports and visas.
There are 400K caught at the border, not counting those that slipped through. It is estimated that 600K over stay their visas, many return home before they are caught. In the end the higher number is those illegally crossing the border, both groups should be addressed equally.
Got video? How about a police report? Mexican bubble-gum wrapper? *_ANYTHING???!!!_*
So there are busy crossings where border patrol is very active and in almost all cases there is already a wall or fencing there? So can you explain then why its a good idea to spend 30 billion for a wall that goes through all the places with little to no activity?
@@MrDavidBFoster
I know there is about 4 years worth of video with journalist doing a ride along, from a show they had, which ended at the end of 2016. There are 7 or 8 dozen other videos about the border on line, not sure what else you want?
Try camping in south texas by the river
That is why a wall is viable but not across the entire border
No wonder Cletus, your in the wrong spot! 2,000 miles of border and you chose the boothills!
You're
@VUNIT82....Wow, it must be rough living in the Stone Age.....the past ain’t ever coming back but live your life back in the good ol’ days. We do understand that fear is the ultimate illusion...🙏🏿✌🏾😎🙉🙈🙊
Those of us that live in new Mexico knows just how funny this is. But main stream media will probably run like hell with it.
Both of these guys are pretty dence.
DreToBeast #1 how old are you? The reason why they don’t cross in these “remote” areas, is because these CRIMINALS find it easier to cross in “PLAIN SIGHT” and in “POPULATED” areas!....You see, there balls have gotten drastically bigger over the past few decades to the point they DO NOT fear the American government! For crying out loud they dug a fully functioning tunnel “literally “ right under homeland security’s nose!...It had electricity, water, oxygen...rumor has it smugglers could order tamales and tacos fresh off the grill, located at the Mexican side entrance.... they would even sell you carpeted chanklas, canteens, and salt tablets for your journey! But, all these liberals say Trumps wrong? Go pitch a tent on the Laredo border, right next to the rio Gran...we’ll see if that changes your mind...Don’t pull up to a one horse town surrounded by 10,000 acres of badlands asking Billy Joe and Bobby Sue if they seen anything suspicious!...because chances are Don Miguel, Fernando, and Jose Juan done took the shortcut!
Jason Wise thank you Mr. Wise
I invite you to Brooks county Texas. Spend a day with the sheriff there.
How bout Nogales, Az?
Or Yuma, Az....Douglas or even Naco, Az and points in between....
Check out some of the old tunnels that have been found....or how bout the recent one they just discovered??? No, huh?
Hidalgo county 2nd most corrupt county in the country right on the border
Ask we build the wall group , they have video.
Kind of like saying come on kids we're going to Disneyland but you stopped at the first circus you see set up in the parking lot of Walmart you got to go to the right places you can't just say G we went to the Border and we spent the night and we didn't see anything wrong we'll got to go to the right part of the Border
Your right. This guy is just hating on trump you think this guy cares about the border its all about the Dems hating and doing anything to make Trump look bad. But what they are really doing is making him look good and them retarted. Lmfao what a fool
They didn't even jump from one side to another while saying, "Mexico, America, Mexico, America." Lame.
Talk about throwing a dart on a map and saying this is the pinnacle spot, sarcasm.
This is a slim fraction of the border. To pick a low crossing area and try to make the whole border look like this - is sheer ignorance.
this is like camping out on virgina beach to check if any europeans are sneeking in lol
But isn't Trump saying we want a wall from sea to sea? If you want to have a wall at high-traffic areas, well fine. We already have them in a lot of places. What if we all stopped fighting about walling the whole border, or walling none of it, and just put the wall where it makes sense?
Well you know these jagoff cherry-picked the safest location.
There are a bunch of videos from every section and they are all the same. It must suck to believe an ass that lies 22 times a day.
@@marthas8108 That's what he's asking for. Some areas of the border have natural barriers that a wall can't be utilized. Something different for each specific type of area. Patrols, drones, walls, whatever makes sense to SECURE the border. (This also includes entrance ways into the country of our choosing so we can monitor who comes and goes.)
Should have camped near Juarez. I think your video would have went differently then the way this did.
They wouldn't have the balls...
These Dems wouldn't do that.
They chose New Mexico for a reason
@Mad Hatman El Paso has a wall and also more police than most cities. It used to be a dangerous place but now is the safest.
You know your in the middle of nowhere when 2 tumbling tumbleweeds go by.
Somebody should do a documentary about the vaccine bills in Congress right now and the real reason that wall is soo important all of a sudden.
Tina Schlobohm; Tumble weed blowing in the wind, can be very dangerous when driving in the deserts of the American SW. We must build the wall, or else American citizens, driving through our SWern deserts could be killed in automobile accidents, thanks to tumble weeds being blown northward, from Mexico, onto and across those American citizen's wind shields.
Yes, American drivers can be killed thanks to US tumble weed blowing in the wind to, but death by US tumble weed in the wind, just does not have the same sting, as does death by Mexican tumble weed in the wind. Understand ?
@No Bone Spurs Here Got it? ;But a Trump supporter told me, ''WE'' want a wall ? Now I am confused ! Let me think about this over dinner and then get back with ya. See ya latter.
And what happened to all the thousands of ppl getting killed in Syria?
@No Bone Spurs Here Got it? ; I hate this new comment format CZcams is using.
Until about a month or less ago, I could click a comment notification and go right to the main video- comment page, to make a comment. Now, when I receive a comment notification, unless I already have the vid page open for that particular notification, I have to make my comment on the side of the page, in this damn box.
I swear, I fucking hate being boxed- walled in !
I know it is nuts, but sometimes I think CZcams is doing what they can do to discourage me from making comments !
Go camp where more than 100,000 people are walking through your safe space. Without a weapon to protect yourself. See if your attitude changes. Thats a VICE segment I'd love to see. I still like watching BTW.
It doesn't fit the Vice agenda.
He would be raped. He should do a live-stream.
Then I can enjoy it and eat some popcorn, while seeing how a naive VICE News’ Alzo Slade is scared in his tent.
He would not come out. They would come in, in his tent anyway to get some fun time. Or whatever they could get.

dam guess the cartels should have setup their kidnapping and drug smuggling on that 1 day you guys went out there, let me walk thru a high crime city and say there's no crime since I was there 1 day and ask random people
Is it just me or is it always super fishy when a video has more likes than dislikes but every single top comment is a negative one?
You want to see murders, kidnapping, human trafficking/ Go to Detroit. Miami, New York, Chicago. etc Go to that border, and you'll see Desert and mountains for thousands of miles. Maybe some poor migrants trying to get a job here, in a slaughterhouse or vegetable fields. You know, the jobs Americans are clamoring for.
Erik McFarland Vice has a whole team that deletes comments puts up fake comments and fake likes.
people who agree with the video are less likely to comment. people who disagree with the video and feel like their voice matters are more likely to comment. so, no. not fishy
@@johnwbailey8940 John, thank you for standing your ground... on the grounds that America should be fighting for... FREE america.
Not fishy at all
I have to admit though the border is pretty flimsy
most throughout the world are...only North Korea and Israel hold their borders any tighter than the rest of us.
It is 1,200 miles of border. It is a lot of cover
@@fatheadsnake so just leave it open?
@@enrique123eo Hell no. We need to build a river, not a wall. Make it a Panama canal type of river.
should we wall up the ocean too?
When I want facts, Vice is the last place I probably look for them.
fox news ....explains the delusion and denial of facts
@rapha7788 yes and no
@rapha7788 when regard to Trump and Right, no Not biased but Fake!
You checked the least used crossing. New Mexico? Really?
Check AZ, TX and Cali
Lol
Mark Tprodicus
Hello, they have done Cali already. If you watched & listened to their channels you would know this already!! Plus there are other reporters in each sector you have mentioned. Quit jumping to conclusions based on what some hater tells you??!! And each of them haven't seen a damn thing that - that punk 45 has lied about!! SMFH
Mark Tprodicus; What are you talking about ? This video was filmed mostly at a random spot along the border, not a crossing.
@@yliberal6355 they did a video of smugglers crossing drugs across the border
Mark Tprodicus , shoot illegals crossing into Texas
Don’t you think that maybe immigrants would avoid random tents and cars?
I think they would heard people walking in a desert
@@recordstore2265 they would heard?
No, they can’t it’s the law
Cameras probably don't help either.
And campfires 😂
Mind boggling to me that a nation maintaining intact borders with walls or fences etc. is somehow immoral.
I went camping in the smokeys. Not one damn sasquatch!!!
Your worse than the vice guy everyone knows Sasquatch is in the Rockies
Is this fake news
a Wolf will not hunt next to a fire Do you think Immigrants will walk through your campsites? pff
Idiots ! You guys not trying very hard to see or find anything. I wonder why , scared maybe ? ... hahaha !!!!
Well there's really no chance that the Mexican people are going to even make the attempt of fixing their own country so they have something to leave their children. So it's an easy fix to get them to go home and stay there if you don't have the proper paperwork to be in this country it's a capital offense which can carry the death sentence make that the law .they'll start trying to fix their own country. I asked a Mexican that was up here working who was actually here legal why the Mexican people don't do something to fix their own country and his response was, it would be hard. So I guess their Heritage isn't worth doing something that's hard.
according to trump, southern immigrants are the big bad wolf, so these guys shoulda got dead.
Nonya Bizness no according to Trump drug smugglers, human traffickers, and coyotes are bad not all Mexicans. He doesn’t like criminals like most reasonable people.
Immigrants???? There is only ONE people on the continent that is here BOUND by BLOOD and HERITAGE. The rest are immigrants.
I live very near the border in South Texas and the entire valley is populated by illegals that cross over via coyotes. The place shown in the video is extremely isolated unlike the places where the vast majority of illegals cross over.
So they are supposed to cross in the most populated and patrolled areas?
@jfsfrnd We know you are that is why you are mad
That's the point of the video..
David Stutz yet that’s where the wall will go. The wall will go in the middle of nowhere.
Come to populated border areas, try Laredo or deep texas
Adalberto Pedregon; It could be dangerous to sleep outdoors in any heavily populated place in the US, and furthermore it would probably be illegal to sleep outdoors in any US city, other than in city permitted camp grounds, so what exactly are you trying to say ? Hopefully, you are saying that we need more border security in and near populated areas on and near the border and not a stupid wall along the entire border ?
James Guilford you don’t get the point I’m trying to come across, look James if you’re going to do a documentary on border violence from a city like the one they are showing that is 2,000 miles away from the border you aren’t going to get anything else that they don’t need a wall. You say that it it illegal and dangerous for people to live outdoors? Let me ask you a question where are you from? Are there any homeless where you live at? Another question do you even live next to a border area where you can see Mexico straight across from less than 2000 feet? Look man this documentary is biased and you don’t even see it. You do know if they revamp security it means more jobs and more tax payers money as well as it would be with the wall, both cost money what do you want in return? An investment that’s quite capable of being beneficial towards security and outside threats. I could keep going but I’m just gonna let it slide.
James Guilford stick to watching apocalypse and zombie videos since I’m sure a great safe wall would keep the zombies out
Travis Dozier is that comment for me or James
James Guilford just read the comments there’s a couple of great points and metaphors, the comment section is filled with quite a few intellectual people
This clown reporter needs to go to the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Station for a day. That place is an eye opener.
Camp out on the border in AZ and come talk to me.
@Jannett Snow what before they put the wall up in california because that is where they used to cross at and when that wall went up they slid over to Arizona and you cant find plenty of interviews with the people that live in those border areas in arizona and they all say there is a problem and many say they live in fear.
@@neilharden8288 Agreed!! I've lived in Tucson for many years, as well as Arrivaca. I've seen, helped, recovered many many Illegals... Dead and Alive. I've also been held at gun point by Illegals! (That ended badly for the kidnapper). If Vice would like to be shown the right place for their "Campin' Trip", I would be happy to show them a good spot! East & West of Nogalas and Douglas! Both have some walls, but need bigger and longer walls!
I find it hard that this guy was a guide. Why would anyone start a fire in the middle of dry brush?
I was wondering that myself. It's a lil dry for that. He didn't dig it out or anything.
Maybe it was for safety to let everyone know where they were at. Having let everyone in town know they were checking things out maybe someone made a phone call international type to a relative in small towns anywhere everyone knows when outsiders show up
So I'm going to prove that we don't need a wall by going to the farthest location away from the traffic area is possible.
Well, if you're a so called "criminal cartel " or anything else, wouldn't they be sneaking in at the farthest location away from people so they don't get caught ? LMFAO use your brain
Yes you would go to a place where there is not border patrol. Plus video evidence shows people can get over the " best wall in history" in less than 30 seconds.
@@user-kr2hw7zb6v they dont go over the border, they use tunnels or subs. If reporters ever got in their way, they would be dead. use your brain.
@@ethan20559 you watch too many movies lol
@@user-kr2hw7zb6v ur actually special right. the coast guard anti-narcotics actively look for subs and the reason why a lot of drugs get into the country even with border control seizures is that they enter the country through underground tunnels. do you seriously think I'm fantasizing?
Go camping any part of the Rio Grand river where the real crisis is happening! And talk to any border patrol agents and they will tell you exactly what you been miss informed!
There is no immigration crisis. There only a bigot crisis.
Borders are noting but fences for humans. They make cattle of us all.
Hey amigo, we not cross where hombre has fire lighting up the valley...we cross further up, away from people.
Yes and explain to these nuts while they build a fire you are tracking through with night vision watching them. LOLLOL
This guy goes down to the border for a day or two, talks to a couple of locals in one area, and determines that there is no crisis. What a fool.
The fools are the ones who buy into this B.S.
I spend a year and a half on Operation Jumpstart from 2006 on. EIT (Entry Identification Team) Platoon Sergeant in the Yuma op area looking at Algadones and all points east. 24 hours on the OP, 24 off in 4 man teams with night vision, Light Alls and thermals spread about 700 meters apart on open desert road (Telegraph Road). In 19 months, I personally saw 4 crossings. Had to go and help 1 guy who was distressed and likely to die. That's it.
If I was looking for a way in, this video just gave me the info I needed. Kind of feel bad for the people in that town now
If vice spotted a crisis would they film it
Yikes
No, the answer is NO, they won't film it. VICE is leftist propaganda.
Actually they would. Any type of crisis reporters would be on it. Especially fox news even though they are not journalists.
@@cjay5643
Like how VICE delete comments that shows proof they're lying??
Like how they deleted all my previous comments with LINKS on it? With video link proof that goes against VICE leftist narrative??
VICE is FAKE NEWS. Only sheeps believe them.
FOX is no better but atleast they are not as bad as VICE.
Hell ni
Why don't they migrate to South America? There would be no language barrier.
these are not the best and brightest.. often they dont even speak Spanish
Sunset Cliff
What else would they speak besides Spanish?
@@kathrynmolesa1641 Some of the most widely spoken languages in Mexico, aside from Spanish, are Nahuatl, which has almost 1.4 million speakers, Yucatec Maya, spoken by over three quarters of a million people, and Mixtec, whose speakers amount to about half a million.
Sunset Cliff very interesting
Every country south of our boarder that's all they speak is Spanish. Goof
Great idea, go camp out where there isn't a problem and say there is no problem. What a DB
actually the most obvious rebut is that that area has a god made natural wall of mountains. nobody said anything about walls where they weren't needed. or another great wall of china spanning the whole border.
is this comedy, or shat-ire?
This is PURE B.S.! Build the wall!
GOOD........GLAD THAT SPOT IS CLEAR.........MANY OTHERS ARE NOT...WALL IS COMING TO DISCOURAGE IT........TRUMP AND BORDER SECURITY ARE NOT CRAZY,,,THIS REPORTER IS BENT ON MAKING A ONE SIDED POINT.
That did not look a safe place for a campfire.
Wow! Such a thorough investigation.
Well that video didn't prove jack either for or against..
If anything it showed trump is right
Just because you look at one area and don't see any thing doesn't make the claim false. Just like some reporters stand next to the wall and say no problem. Move around a little bit
Borders are noting but fences for humans. They make cattle of us all.
Goes to a tiny border town concludes that its the same everywhere
+junejjk Considering Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries on the planet it wouldn't be a bad assumption.
I remember picking up 50 lbs of smoke in that area
Pointless video. he only covered a very small area what about the 2,000 + miles not captured
lol... if wall get built within a month without drugs americans will be the ones crossing borders illegally 😂😂
That's where most of the inbreds meth comes from anyway😂

well that just sounds like the trash taking itself out. Win Win.
In hell .# “if wall get built”. your english is amazing...
So, if I were a human trafficker, and I had a truckload of women I wanted to sell off or whatever, I would probably have someone scout ahead. If that scout of mine came back to me and said, "There are a couple of assholes in a tent, let's go ten more miles down," I would probably go ten more miles before I sent my scout out again to look for suspicious people camped out at the boarder. Now, I'm not a human trafficker, so maybe I'm missing something, but seriously, I wouldn't want to be caught doing something illegal by people I don't know. If I was doing something extremely illegal, I would make damn sure no one saw.
You ain’t slick Jerry Gottwald, we definitely telling on yo ass
Common sense
James Young yea that wasn’t that funny when they took 21 was it 😅
IKR...LOL
You know they pay people to do this to keep us from the truth like fake news so they can keep doing what their doing. I think they may want to find someone smarter than this Guy because he not fooling anyone!! Forgive me but I think his mother drop him out his head one to many times!! Lol
I traveled to the middle of the desert, guess im the last person on earth
Slide on down to Nogales and try that stunt....
Right where I lost my life long friend BORTAC BPA Brian Allen Terry!! They are delusional if there is NOT A PROBLEM!!
go to Tijuana 🤣 that's where they all at jumping
Double E
Of course they won't go where they are.
san diego... las America's outlet plaza center
Double E have you been to tj?
Oh no they took yer jerb!
So u went there and spent the night. Well must have been a slow night. Go to nuevo Laredo. Then tell me all about the none problem. Smdh
So a wall isn't 100% effective so not do anything? Nice argument....... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
So you went looking for a quiet small liberal town with no border traffic. Good job vice. Doesn't get any one sided than this
Actually the locals had to say that to cover for the cartels or pay the price.
@@terrylunsford352 make sense
God's amazing Grace! We the people love our GREAT President Trump and we need the wall! Amen
How many times have you been convicted of shooting up a school and molesting altar boys?
I know the bible says something about neighbors..cant remember what. I believe there's something in there about adulterers as well. Maybe you know what passages they are.
I hope vice goes under. Just giving half the story and hand picking a spot known for nothing going on. That dude probably didn’t even spend the nite there.
Hi Fake account
Says a fake account !
I’m here sweet heart. I’m pretty fucking real.
Alex Soriano n mmm
Ahhhhhh amazing how choosing a specific area at a specific time can result in what YOU WANT TO SSE! Most property owners with metes and bounds just over the border are Fed up! This is a crisis and needs to be handled as such
This is like pitching a tent in your backyard vs camping in the middle of bear & cougar country. Just because you pick a safe spot doesn't mean that everything's fine.
I wish vice would’ve gone to high traffic area of illegal crossings to camp out!
They would have never done that...they would have been beat up and robbed for their supplies.
Dylan N that’s the point
Stay tuned as HBO goes to comicon to expose Amish dairy farming
I'm Amish and I go to comicon, so I suppose next year they will pay me to go as a caped dairy farmer.
Lol exactly. And Miami will be celebrating rumspringa for the next month too. Pardon my spelling but ... Ashloos
That's odd that you would say you're Amish because I know a lot of Amish people and they don't use electronic devices or even have electricity. The only thing Amish people usually have that is electric is the little light on their buggy that's powered very limitedly by a battery that's their only Electronics. So I guess my question here is if your Amish and I know you're not because you posted that on the internet which took an electronic device and electricity so. . I get saying things just to say it but you get the obviousness right
Dan some of our Amish friends are more modernized than others. I will neither condone or condemn it is their choice not ours.
@@danselby2767 So you are saying when a family leaves, their descendants are no longer Amish because that is not an identity for heritage, but rather a specific way of living? So if I turn off my electricity and drive a buggy then by your standard I am suddenly now Amish. That is clever Dan, but me think you no thinky through.
Need to replace that reporter. EVERYONE he interviews supports the wall. Truth, but, he was sarcastic about it. More media misrepresenting the American people. Shame on Vice. I did somewhat respect you, but not anymore. Reporter had obious bias and disdain for Americans dealing with this. But, then..... He could go and live a thousand miles away.
1500+ miles of border & this man picks the most obscure stretch of boundary to be found.
There is smuggling activity in this border area. I know Border Patrolmen and NMDGF conversation officers that will confirm this. The problem, as you pointed out, is this is but one small area of the entire border. The problem with this video is the smugglers would have seen the fire and said you know, let’s go somewhere else. Lousy reporting to say the least.
@Todd Austin I was taught to be a skeptical and don’t be afraid to ask why. I’ve come to learn that you can learn a lot about people by using these approaches.
And these days we need a big filter for all the BS!
@@nmelkhunter1 The man is not saying there are not illegal crossings, he is saying there is no crisis. If there were a crisis, the violent people crossing would just kill the man instead; a bullet is cheaper than a gallon of gas. Do you also agree with the Chicago comment? Perhaps you want to call a crisis in Chicago and have it run over with tanks and missiles? The reality is Donald Trump has committed more crime than the majority of people in this country illegally, let alone exploited those same people for cheap labor.
@Snoglydox This is simply drive by reporting. He needs to spend more time there than one night. There is a problem in the area which can be evidence by signs in the area warning people that there is smuggling activity. Donald Trump, Chicago, etc are not the point. I know people who spend time in the area and, while it’s true it’s not a crisis that’s visible like the aftermath of a hurricane, it’s still a problem. The actions by Trump, the Clinton’s, etc are simply not relevant to the fact there’s a problem on the border! I fully understand why people want to come to the US to work and live. However, they need to respect the law. I also think we should have a guest worker program. Under this program you would need to renew your status just as people would need to renew a visa. Your point of view is as biased as this video.
You go camping somewhere where you know there isnt high traffic wow
So everyone else see the stupidity of them camping in a low traffic area.... dang I thought it was just me...So he made this video... to let the traffickers know where to hit next..untapped area.. lol
Ok if i was a human trafficker i would not drive up to people camping and announce myself lmao. If i was smuggling cocaine into the us i would not stop by your campfire and try to sell you some. Lmao this video is a joke.
HE WENT TO THE NEW MEXICO BORDER😂😂😂
I lived in South Texas, lol, go camp there...lol
Well, lets put this into perspective. With a 2000 mile Boarder, there HAS to be some areas that are not used very often by invaders.
think its called the law of large distances
@Rock Hard considering that fence is more to keep cattle out than humans, it really does not matter if there is a gate.
He goes to a state that has 179 miles of border (all mountain and desert) instead of Texas which has 1241 miles. Guess he forgot about the other 1,932 miles.
Build the wall while that dude is on the Mexican side! Baby steps!
Yup! Immigrants avoid a random camp site in the middle of no where, we didn’t see any illegals so there ain’t no problem! 😃
light a fire so they can see it for miles. yep no illegals in this area. Nice bloke, pathetic analysis and lame attempt at sheading light on a complex subject. He will be head hunted by CNN now.
The black guy, who I will call : reporter , should visit houses along the border at Del Rio, Texas. Most of the houses along the river have bars on the windows, barbed wire, and few ground level windows that are not covered over; there's a reason for that, and it isn't to keep Monarch butterflies out of their houses. The reporter should also visit the border along Mission, Texas where he can interview illegals who have just come across the river. Another option is for the reporter to ride alone with Border Patrolmen and see if they can answer any of his questions. Sadly, many people will see this video and believe that there are virtually no illegals crossing the border.
I’m reading through the comments and I’m finding few people buying into this.
Jeff is a Camp guide, nature lover. Of course he doesn't like the idea of a wall on his "sacred" camp grounds. Nice cherry picking Vice. I'm a camper and nature lover as well, but there are plenty of beautiful places to camp other than the Southern border.
And you say this isn’t a crisis? Look at those poor people!! Shame on you for saying this isn’t a crisis!!!!
This was from HBO, a liberal mindset. Ask Border Patrol if we need a Wall !! I live 150 miles from Matamoros. We need a wall.
My coach had a story of immigrants shooting at his sheriffs house so he wouldn't come out while a group crossed the border so I'm pretty sure we need a wall or at least more security in some other areas.
What?
I'm gonna camp at the North Korean border too see if people are actually starving in political prison camps.
Already went there and stayed overnight. Can confirm from the soldiers there that everything is completely fine and the people are just relearning how to be good people in a healthy and torture-free environment.
Corona Josr
I couldn't watch all this video...
they call this balanced reporting.
THATS A LOT OF THUMBS DOWN BRAH LOL I WONDER WHY.
john gonzales THE LIP PACKIN RACISTS
marcel silva no mainly people that know this part of the southern border doesn’t get crossed as much as others they chose a place where there aren’t as many crossings they should have gone to Phoenix AZ just because people don’t cross this part of the border doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen elsewhere. To steal what someone else said “I went to Chicago one night and no one got shot so that means there is no crime in Chicago”
@@marcelsilva4348 you're a pendeja
WTF happened to Vice they use to make great documentaries now they make biased Trump hating videos, MAKE VICE GREAT AGAIN!!
Its worth more to them to be biased against Trump than to be unbiased.
From the Jim Acosta school of journalism.
I had no idea the border was only 10 meters long! 😳 thanks for opening my eyes dude! That documentary really made sense 💩
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not a fan of Trump but I am really struggling to understand why a border wall is such a bad idea?
Ido Sebban do you live in a border state? People are more afraid of greeting killed by an American mass shooter than they are of Mexicans bringing limes, avocados and their incredible work ethic.
I do live in a border state, and that is some nice propaganda. The amount of money that would be saved in long run by cutting illegal crossings off at the knees would be well worth it.
Main reasons people don’t want it.
1. Corporations want cheap labor that let them undercut American wages
2. Sheeple who believe whatever garbage the media spoonfeeds them about a wall somehow being racist?
3. Democrat politicians that want to increasingly lower voter registration requirements, and make ICE job harder to do so they can build a reliable voting base of non Americans
Its Organic I’m was born and raised in Texas and still live here, wtf are you talking about? We don’t mind if people from south of the border come here to work, live and support their families, asl long they do it legally. But the majority of the people who are gunghoe on building the want to stop all forms of immigration from the south and often times call ICE of immigrants who are who 100% LEGALLY!
@@SpringLeafWolf you defeated your own argument, a wall is not to stop legal immigration. It is to help cut down on ILLEGAL immigration.
@@itsorganic7739 I never said the wall was to stop legal immigration in the first place. I stated that a majority of people whom want this wall want to stop all forms of immigration from the south regardless of if it's legal or illegal.
Try Nogales or El Paso, This video is pure propaganda
Fake news
In other words " we went and camped at the most secure section of the us Mexico border the part with the huge desert that no one would ever make it across"
Let's go camping in Florida to see if any lions show up...wtf did I just watch!!?
Matthew, you do that, but Trump is not saying there is a crisis of lions terrifying Floridians.
That is not where they are entering Try the Rio Grande Valley Texas from Brownsville TX to Laredo TX
"once a while every year some make into town" that you know of
