How Mexico is cracking down on migrants trying to reach the US border | Start Here


“Like a human jungle”. The journey across Mexico has become harder than ever for migrants hoping to reach the US. While illegal immigration is a big issue in the US election, the number of illegal border crossings is actually down significantly. A lot of that is because of what Mexico is doing.

  1. How about the people that have been waiting for years doing it legally. This illegal want everything easy. I could say these people is the first to avoid and stop completely.

  2. The guy did really ask " Why" when he was ordered to go back to where he came from. Seriously? He was of a sound mind, I presume, that he needs to be granted entrance to the border considering that he's an illegal crosser. No humility whatsoever. He should have left right away. But like a spoiled brat, he insisted that he should be entitled to be let in to the United States. SMH

  3. Fix your country then!! You want to escape your problems but you create the problems you run from in our country!!! Nope Nope Nope!!! Fly your flag so proudly here and refuse to assimilate, learn the language, RESPECT our laws, we have enough problems without taking on the worlds. Real Americans first!!! People look at you in the wrong light because of your actions!! Not your Damh skin color. Patriotism is not racism!!

  4. And in getting and spending thousands of dollars (or millions of pesos) to get into the States, over and over, and lamenting all the hardships in so doing, they could have bought an excellent education in Mexico or started a business and built a safe and purposeful life. Nobody talks about the other options. When the buses started coming under Trump's admin, the president of mexico, at that time, offered homes, jobs, services and benefits to all those ppl and they turned it down.

    Dont even THINK of trying to BS Americans w that poor, hungry, refugees yearning to breathe free nonsense.😡

  5. I’m tried of people saying we the Americans would have a hard time with the cartels. All I can say is you can see a cartel coming a mile away. But when I was in the marine corps. You never would see me coming until it’s was to late.

  6. Joe Biden did not have to sign an Executive Order, all he had to do was direct the Border Patrol to keep the illegals out and deport them immediately. Instead he had the Border Patrol working as the welcome wagon for years and tied ICE’s hands. Biden is not a friend to the U.S. It is Trump that asked Mexico to not allow the illegals to cross into the U.S. I am sure that Biden is still flying the illegals in behind our backs just as he has done already.

  7. The democratic power grab, has ruined, and made many peoples lives uncertain. It’s a disgraceful use of power I’m sure most Americans disagree with. I don’t blame the people fleeing to the US, I blame the US government, controlled by the Democrats/ Biden administration policies. A simple and fair immigration policy shouldn’t be so difficult!😢

  8. Don't speak English but that's where they belong yeah cuz everything is free for them then that's why they're trying to make it to the board games free like I said the body administration in Harry administration started this stuff the weather in people you come up here when you get everything free going to win

  9. GOOD! IF THEY ARE TRYING TO COME TO THE USA ILLEGALLY THEN THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY NO PLACE, BUSINESS, OR RIGHT TO BE HERE IN THE USA OR TO VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS OR TO BE GETTING ANY KIND OF BENEFITS, OR SOCIAL SECURITY OF ANY KIND THAT ARE TO BE GIVEN TO AMERICAN CITIZENS ONLY WHO ARE ELDERLY, RETIRED, DISABLED, WHO CANNOT WORK AND ARE DISABLED VETERANS.!

  10. 18:01 This statement right here! The country that the people are leaving NEEDS TO FIX their COUNTRY. Their people will stay… what a concept 🤦‍♀If they can't make a life in the U.S., make a life in Mexico??

  11. While a few of the illegal immigrants are truly seeking asylum the majority of them 95% are seeking entitlement because they heard from those that “ BROKE IN “ of all the free amenities that America ( upset taxpayers) are providing these non citizens. Upsetting at its finest 😡

  12. You are risking your lives to get to America. Well, stay in your own country, risk your life fighting your own government to make a better country for yourself, and stay there! Dah.
