of the whales until the end of the these women, men and goals come from venezuela and hon. doris that trying to enter the united states. the mood is tense. so that's the, you know, where you're going in to that kind of. i mean, the road isn't finished. there's a way through over there, but not if there's police there's

a spot by the river where the woofers darker cross right of that patrol. let's go to the next place. they want to get across as quickly as possible . 2 days ago a group was beaten and dropped by armed man at this very spoke. wednesday of the piano. no one knows anything to say when there isn't even a bridge that is one side of the room. that's very fine, very fine. i get a one so okay, let's try it over that. yeah. yes, it's quiet is fine. i'm not the

0. the on the other side of the rio grande, a lies the united states of 2 weeks of traveling. they managed to cross illegally it's just a handful of people today. but it and also ways like that. the

in the winter of 2023, 2024. there was chaos. the border between mexico and the us making lines of women and men carrying children in their arms, making their way across the border and where they are. we just want to work to pay taxes and send money back to our families and venezuela. they're dying of hunger as well. the we don't want to do anyone any harm, just want a future or like there's nothing for us at home. at the peak of the crisis, up to $10000.00 people across the board that each day the we've been on the road for a month now it's hell. in march 2024 scuffles broke out to the buddha. like here in el paso in texas. no reinforcement seemed completely

overwhelmed. the whole story. cheese estimate that some $2000000.00 people enter the us illegally each year. in 2023, it was a record breaking 2400000. some regard that as an invasion and blame the bytes and the administration of the say it's due to the growing security crisis in south and central america and elsewhere. but one thing is, a few months before us voters go to the polls. the boat is a big issue in the election campaign. the in a town close to san diego in california. the candidates are trying to woo potentials i to you. i have some way

in move and the americans will be voting for members of congress as well as a new president bill wells is funding for the republicans. hey, kyle. hey bill, how you doing? my number is he aims to become a senator that many times my wife betty speaks for somebody that can states have to fund the campaign from private to nations. everyone is expected to dig deep into that pockets this evening. the full, the speeches and debates kick off. everyone. the thank you all for being here. i'm so excited to hear tonight. it means like

classics. okay. the big question right now is the border. the board is that control almost 20000000 people coming across the board, or both of them. we don't know who there are, why they're here, what they're going to do. and believe me, the repercussions from what we seen in the last 3 years will last for the rest of our lifetimes. and we've got to deal with that. but the 1st thing we have to do is stop the flow of illegal immigrants come here to our to ensure we have to do it right away. and we don't have very much time, but we need to do it. and this will watch the number of 20000000 illegal code across things cannot be verified, but the people here are convinced by the election page a joe biden has said anybody can come and there's absolutely no waiting period whatsoever. it takes actually 5 minutes to come in and fill out some paperwork and it'd be released. and that makes people feel like they're gonna take away their borders, their language, their culture,

and we're going to lose the ask them. so what makes america america? between susan is snapshots and free coat tails. the boot. the problem is what everyone's talking about. most people have support donald trump, right down the line. they run scared. i think donald trump recognize the problem many years ago or any cap right into what everybody knew. and so i'm of, i'm a very big america 1st republican. i don't like republicans that allow the other side that always surrender. so i like in america 1st, lamesa, 1st republican, it's all about us. our family 1st before it's about outside of the republican candidate, has managed to drum up quite enough to support at the event dollars and votes, his immigration 9. how come the hot springs in southern california?

not far from the mexican border in this corner of the united states, which seems that the end of the world, many people regard migrants who cross it legally. no says criminals, because people in need are like over a 150 people in moons. uh, i lot or ask for can chat a little uh, all right. uh, yeah, by gabriella. and sam quick has a religious amazement that advocates a simple knife and showing generosity and compassion towards others that parts of an initiative that collects money and food and distributes the donations among the people regularly arriving in the neighborhood. the motivations are very straightforward, the manager and there are women and children sitting in the dirt with no water and no food, no shelter. and that's the end of the story. to me. i don't support or not support

migration on any level at all. it's just, i don't like to see people in the this is a very deep tell you that i am myself and my grand. so, i will come all the immigrants, because i know how hard it is to, to be able to, to job, to, to take foot, to, to be accepted to, to be left gabriella had told us before hand, that token politics was off limits, which we accepted that sam was less restrained, the policy is the wealthy people in this country that control this country. the majority of those people want there to be cheap to legal labor in the united states. they want

this so it continues to happen because nothing happens in the united states. without the wealthy people riding off on it. now, if they want it to stop for some reason, they will stop and tell them the politics of donald trump go by and all of that is just blah blah blah. by turn, by the a few comments is away, long as news and make shift kemp. some 100 people arrived during the night. gabriella gives food to the women 1st. the turbo

oh, my gosh, if you want you don't have enough for all of these. this is a lot what we have today. the haven't seen in months so many from all over the road is you see syria, you have studios who are tamala, then, uh, columbia for the door. yes, yes, yeah. and peddle. so everybody indian has no mohammed. i understand people from america, they are scared to, you know, i mean it's, there's this mass mass on people coming in. i, i, i don't condemn anyone who says anything. you see this is old. it's of course,

it's in motion and it is fear, you know, will not be there to set that 3 days ago this camp was practically empty. in the mornings. 2 days ago we had about a 110 deep volt today we have about a 130 people. and it's obviously building up here again, why it's all controlled by what's happening on the mexican side of the border. and now we have no control over the, there's mexican law enforcement cartel activity. you name it and impossible to really know what's going to happen until it happens. some a comp into by trade, who's built some shelters and a water tank because migrants keeps countering here. this is just

a few kilometers away from a mountainous region where the border will ends and it's easy it across all this is a formation cheat about what we know who is going to happen to them. contact information if they get separated from their families. basically, a little bit of a rundown about what's going to happen to them in the next. well that being one of the people here want to apply for political asylum. united states screwed up patrol to taking them to a detention center for interview of to, with some of them will be deported. others will be summons to appear before a judge. this process can take a yeah. during this time, the free to remain at liberty in the us, the under donald trump,

the mood was very different. the billionaire and then president pledge that he would make the border with mexico, which stretches across more than 3000 kilometers impenetrable. right. tough to taking office in outs depends for a border will costing billions of dollars on the timing of security measures. then cove. it came along and served as a pretext for systematic deportations. also for assigned them, see cuz but the illegal crossing is continued as mexican people smugglers so called clear cheese come from. tia used to be one of them. he helped hundreds of illegal migrants into the united states, in particular during donald trump's presidency. as those and possibly taking up the law law, he kept tone extending the wall from us. and he said he was going to the port old mexican migrants. nothing i'm gotten that's okay. we're not. the only was more difficult to smuggle migrants over the border. the simplest of all the increased surveillance subdivision level and obviously last year

and so suppose the girls things were more difficult and bidding got an impulse that nobody ever said, but how goes a whole load of people across they jumped over the world. i think i know, said for the airport, more or less anywhere we shot this footage in 2019 during donald trump's time, you know, face in the area when you used to what the, what do you know the, the

issue. it's always possible to get it right in border control somehow and get the migrants across the . busy this policy was just a lot of hold here waiting a mazda so you can move trumps policy. see, yes, you didn't have any real results, i'll say really didn't have any impact. so, but, well, i suppose it did to implicate the result and then thought was that we, people smugglers, raised our price is, is we're also migrants for more money only for $1.00. okay. so you is, that was the only thing that worked out well. no, no one is an endless story, but i've known as the one that wouldn't stop on that. not really. not that it even is the erect. so tower. they're a huge role. but people over um its somehow there's 2 sides. and yet the nicest

people smugglers, antonio's knife has changed in recent years. not because of us politics, but because of the drug cartels controlling of the area is now in the hands. the people smugglers can only work with the say so. and of course, to give them huff, their writings who pay a much higher price the, the hands of the men from the car to hell came and made them disappear. as i said, i cannot afford to be seen by them with you. they are everywhere. okay. and the solve this was difficult scale consolidated, keep an eye on everyone, lumpkin petals, he didn't, he didn't be, he loved the rules and thought so they can keep people smuggling under their control. but by this time the he level know, i mean that i feel better than others. don't say, please. some of those stop does. there's something we wanted to stop and put them on. again, looking is, is much more too afraid of them. turning off with our doors and doing something to

our families and that they're pulling everything out and the other one. yeah, last time can throw in some say others kept telling people smuggling, i know it doesn't get to them, but i was, i know the next thing you know, they're dead. i was going to put that on the lot and then i didn't know a paper in their bodies on the spot for threw them into the canal. the open that the, the texas board, a town of ego pulse hit the headlines this year. the states republican governor greg abbott is a loyal trump, supposed to be laid res, hawaiian, and deployed to texas national guard troops to stop illegal crossings that fled to considerable tension between the federal government on the states. border control is meant to be a federal matter, but the government refuses to give it a group of

activists from an organization called witness of the buddha stage, a symbolic protest in mexico. the just gets, gets a picture of them flying over the perfect dose. reuben, the organizations to has come, he especially from new york. here we are in mexico. we would be in the united states if we could be, but they blocked it off over there so we can even get to the order that were setting up. it looks like it's moving toward some sort of a major crisis because of the kinds of things that he's doing here taking over the function from the federal government and really getting it to the state looks like

what happens at the beginning of a federation is fully important so it has that order and it worries people, worries people in a political level. what i'm worried about mostly though is just the general fate of people who have to move from a place. there is a crisis. the crisis has to do with the world in survival, crowd have coming this climate change. there are always things that are happening, political changes, criminal elements, all these things that threaten people. and what people do when that happens is they move the kid off and they say, i can't expose my children to this anymore. i can't expose myself to this anymore. i've got to go somewhere. i can make a living and this wire under the surface of the water of this river, that's what's keeping people from coming right. his anger at the republican governor of texas shed by when nita martinez, the chair of the ego pos democratic policy,

is very much opposed to the policies of greg tablets. she takes us into the basement of her policy headquarters. and you can see we have some of our signs here that are ready for the next demonstration. my grades have human rights and border communities. they don't trust, stab it. we must come out in droves and both democrats in november just to give him a message. so this is our fight and we're gonna find it all the way. there is no other issue that they can run on except this scaring people into thinking that we're getting over run by emma grants. and that's the only issue. they have the rhetoric that the republicans are putting out is that it's an invasion. there are too many coming. when the truth is quite the opposite. we mean more immigrants

to come and work the right and the settings record number of people that have been employed. and the jobs are here, and we do need the the us economy is on the upswing with accelerated gross, and low unemployment figures. and all the numbers of illegal crossings of being dropping since march 2024. with lyman's says that he's worried about his country regularly. the physiotherapist and trump fun takes time off to shoot. you reports for buddha, hook, his brothers websites. the use video reports which often crosses over to the other side of the rio grande, a, to mexico. the, today, he's meeting a frame gonzales, a mexican generalist for less than yours. when us

a water refrain, just saying the water is very low in the rio. so it makes it very easy to cross. the 2 men work together regularly, that report stuff and run on fox news. so this idea, the river. this is the real, the so as you can see behind me, there's still quite a bit of clothing. this part of the rio theater standards is over the top of the camera. over the top. my head is going to be, go, pass is very close, very easy to access. in december 2023, a frame showed a very interesting scene. it showed us food, a patrol, a federal agency, helping migrants across the board to the video here. so how the,

where they put the use use the machinery, the certainly tractor rice, the bird boy, you're allowed to hundreds of millions to goes to legal bus. now texas is trying to erect this to prevent people from crossing the federal government will say, oh, this is in the way of us doing our job, texas will say was protecting our border. so this is a perfect description and a narrative that a frame was able to capture to show the clash between what the state is doing and what the federal government is doing. and that was on perfect display here that are frames able to capture. it's made the texas governor all the more determined not to remove the raise a wire, despite pressure from the federal government. donald trump has repeatedly lent him his opponents every

evening with edits, footage, football to hook you said the people trying to avoid border patrol. the website is attracting more and more subscribers ahead of the elections. i think that people are caring about it now because it's the worst it's ever been. the current administration has allowed close to 10000000 people to come across our borders and having counters. and that's the number that we know that number is likely much higher. closer to 15, possibly 20 by some estimates. i believe that if we don't slow this process to some degree, then our nation would certainly be in trouble. so people, i think put 2 and 2 together. a busy administration. not only not blocking this, but are these facilitating it to the degree. and they're waking up to that in our election year. hopefully, hopefully making a change going forwards. 1500 kilometers

away on the mexican side of the boat lies the town of miss economy. its cultural center is less than 50 meters from the board of the post of and sway has what to you as an archivist and historian for such 2 years now, he likes to say that the history of migration is everyday life for him and he's most exaggerating those who are like open the window, then you can see what we see every day the, the government may, but i think it's the suddenly i saw people going of the way. i've found it with my smartphone. they have one either. it took a about 30 seconds for them to get out of the unloading, just as simple as that so, so we can government this is a, i'm

a little bit in that order. there are those who set up the letter is on. those people in their lives can live in a very agile, sporty man, climbs up and over. so when it starts running to, well, yeah, he gets a grocer as he got a lot that. and while he's being changed, the migrants climb over all your local mendota. like many border residents, oscar has lived through numerous migration crises over the decades. he doesn't think the current crisis is more worrying than the others. he thinks it's all about politics. impuls, this is all flu, quasi light is about as low as of migration or a regular domain that i used to say. but sometimes they rise in and others they fall sole is going to be my they allow me to get i see what is new is the way illegal immigration has been instrumental lives in recent us elections because i'm not there. maybe maybe you can do that over that is how did the donald trump

describe the migrants? it will be lease option b most demarie bloom and then i got a criminal signal rate that levels mean you get on this murder in gwinnett, they have your level as people with diseases. have you ever used the see? they say me being they, they all know we've never seen this degree of hate racism before and district people know most heavy are based. i see right now. another paradox made in the us. the united states of america was built over centuries by migrants from our lives at the wells, now migrant. so what many people have fee i must hate distrust and fear could decide the upcoming elections in those and the 10 years you fed up mismanagement. no jobs are few prospect television. see few the

protests and us tire. why the mind types to be match with such brutality conditions will just come in and say just make it a mobile. the service has died in the beginning. the 77 percent on dw, make any good business with stinking mountains of garbage, the indian city of crew, nor is leading the way. residents have joined forces to collect the waste and process it into high quality fertilizer, smart and clean the people of qu, newer house, their garbage problem, under control, global in 30 minutes. on the w. o
