being the financial damage, it could cost them the trial is expected to last, at least until autumn. next year. we've been to comb, potentially facing years in prison is found guilty. and that is our show for you. i'm clear. richardson, thank you so much for watching. the . the city is hungry for the future. so zoom in southwest telling us 32000000 people live here. many of them are young and then the 3 and it's coming through making money. having the starting september 19th on d, w,

these women, men and goals come from venezuela and home doris that trying to enter the united states. the mood is tense. let's do you know where you're going in? who the kenneth, 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 on demand of this very spokes. wednesday. no one knows anything to say when there isn't even a bridge. that is one side of the room. that's very fine. yeah, very fine. i get a new one so. okay,

let's try it over that. yeah, yes, it's quiet. is fine. i the not the 0. the of 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's no so waste, like that's the in the winter of 20232024. that 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, which is going 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. 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 held in march 2024 scuffles broke out to the board to like here in el paso, in texas, nor enforcement seems completely overwhelmed. the whole story. cheese estimate that some 2000000 people enter the us illegally each year in 2023. it was a record breaking 2400000. some regard that as an invasion and blame the bite and administer station. others 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 candidate so 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? i remember the aims to become a senate 10th grade that many times my wife betty, thanks for the some of the candidates have to fund the campaign from private to nations. everyone is expected to dig deep into that pockets this evening

before the speeches and debates kick off. everyone. the thank you all for be your i'm so excited to hear tonight. it means like crap ok. the big question right now is the board. the board is that control was 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 weiss times. and we've got to deal with that. but the 1st thing we have to do is stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming in to our, the issue. we have to do it right away and we don't have very much time left. 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. 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 souvenirs, 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 tap 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 and it's all about us. our family 1st before it's about outside of the republican candidate has managed to drum up quite a lot of support at the event dollars and votes, his anti immigration line. 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 my going to cross it legally. no says criminals, but says people in need are like over a 150 people in moon, a whole lot or ask for can chat a little. all right? yeah, hi, gabriela and sam quick has a religious amazement that advocates

a simple knife and showing generosity and compassion towards others. that part of an initiative that collects money and food and distributes the donations among the people regularly arriving and then neighborhoods. my motivations are very straightforward. humanitarian, they 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 and use a very need tell you that i am my self funded immigrant. 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 hands that talking

politics was off limits, which we accepted that sam was less restrained, of the policy is the wealthy people in this country that control this country. the majority of those people want there to be cheap, illegal 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'll stop and tell them the politics of donald trump go by and all of that is just blah, blah, blah. by john, by the

a few moments as a way lies news, and make shift kemp. some $100.00 people arrived during the night, gabriella gives food to the women fast. oh, my gosh, if you want you don't have enough for all the people. 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 city. i agree with tamala, then. uh, columbia for the door. yes, yes, yeah. and peddle. so everybody indian now

let me know harris. 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 for you. for 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 that's all controlled by what's happening on the mexican side of the border. and now we have no control over that. there's mexican law enforcement cartel activity. you name it and impossible to really know what's gonna happen until it happens. some a comp into by trade, who's built some shelters under water tank because migrants keep 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 is the 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, they're being one of the people here want to applying for political asylum, united states school, the patrol of 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 kilometer has impenetrable rights of to taking office in outs depends for border will costing millions of dollars and a tightening of security measures. then coverage 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, and particularly during donald trump's presidency, is those so he tightened up the law law. he kept tone extending the wall from us and he said he was going to port all mexican migrants and nothing can get. i'm done, that's okay. we're not, the only was more difficult to smuggle migrants over the border. the simplest of all the increased surveillance uh, subdivision level and obviously allows you interested, was it the girls things were more difficult. a building got in in process. you're right. every single time i go to a whole lot of people across they jumped over the wall by the canal, said for the airport. more or less anywhere. we shot this fatigue june 2019

during donald trump's time, you know, face in the area where you used to what the the, the issue performed. it's always possible to get there right in border control somehow and get the migrants across the . busy well, this policy was just a lot of hold here waiting a mazda more trumps policy. see, yes, you didn't have any real results, and i see really didn't have any impact. so, but, well, i suppose it did to the input the result and then, so it was that we,

people smugglers, raised our price is, is we're going to migrants for more money when, when i'm guessing you is that was the only thing that worked out well. no, no one is an endless story, but i don't know what is the one that won't stop on that? not really not, but it even is the a rec, so tower there. a huge role. but people over that 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 as 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 than oh yeah, no, yeah, just a hint to 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 at the moment. they are everywhere. okay. and then solve this place. they've got skype,

so they keep an eye on everyone. lumpkin petals, he didn't begin nbc lender blows and thought so they can keep people smuggling under their control. but that's the start of the level. well no, i mean that i feel better than others. don't say please. some of those stop down to some point one to, to stop and put them on again. the case is, is mostly we're too afraid of them. turning off with our doors and doing something to our families and said 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 to get to them. but i also know the next thing you know, they're dead. i was going to us postpone the lot and, and all that in the paper and their bodies on the spot for threw them into the canal. the open up, 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. he's laid res, hawaiian, and deployed to texas national guard troops to stop illegal crossings that fled to considerable tension between the federal government. the state board of control is meant to be a federal matter, but the government refuses to give it a group of activists from an organization called witness the buddha staged a symbolic protest in mexico. the just gets, gets a picture of them flying over the perfect just really been 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, the but they blocked it off. but with that,

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 into the state. looks like what happens at the beginning of a federation is fully report. so it has that order and it worries people, worries people on 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, this crowd have coming this climate change. they're all these things that are happening. political changes, criminal elements, all these things that threaten people and what people do when that happens as they move, they get off and they say,

i can't disclose 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 he to martinez the chatter of the eagle pos democratic policy is very much opposed to the policies of greg abbott's. she takes us into the basement of 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 ups. this border communities say, don't trust, stab it. we must come out in droves and both democrats and november just to give him a message. so this is our fight and we're going to fight 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 right in a setting. record number of people that have been employed and the jobs are here, and we do need them. 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 fine 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 gonzalez, a mexican generalist for less than yours. let us know water. freight is 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. shut 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 magazines to girls, 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 firms 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 and 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 border lies the town of missy con. it's cultural center is less than 50 meters from the board of the post of and, 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 found it with my smartphone. they have one either. it took a about 30 seconds for them to get tired of loading just as simple as that. so. so what i'm done with this is the, i'm a little bidding category. there are those who set up the letter use. all 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. and he got a lot that. and while he's being changed, the migrants climb over or you look them in dial over 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, impulses, the, so flu, quasi light, is that as low as of migration or a regular domain that i used to say, but sometimes they rise and others, they fall. so it's been my, they allow me to get, i feel 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 you, donald trump describe the migrants? it will be lease up should be most definitely 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. they assume of racism before on this, but people know most heavy are based. i see right now. another paradox made in the us. the united states of america was billed service centuries by migrants from all life at the wells. now migrant. so what many people here?

fi, i must hate distrust and fear could decide the upcoming elections in those and but the living independent, arise to our society is full of contrasts and any policy is a big many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home or how do we tackle some major issues about time to because there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems and changes to
