'Defend the Border' Convoy (Part 1/2)
🕑 Added 2024-02-09 21:41:25 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Back with more border action .. this time, we'll be covering the arrival of the 'Defend the Border' Convoy a.k.a. 'God's Army,' to Eagle Pass, Texas -- a fleet of allegedly 700,000 vehicles led by a Massachusetts trucker named Vincent Saban. He says he felt a divine calling to summon an army of patriots to stand with Texas and Governor Greg Abbott against what he calls an 'invasion,' of future-Biden-voting illegal aliens.
As many of you may know, this was all prompted by a Supreme Court decision which granted U.S. Border Patrol agents the ability to cut down the razor wire installed by the State of Texas along the Rio Grande to deter migrants.
Next episode, we'll cover the convoy as it makes landfall to a campground called the 'Children's Ranch' in Quemado, TX.
In another news, we bought a new camera, and a wind screen for our handheld lav microphone .. all thanks to you guys!
Much Love.
AC

Why don't you yanks just let Texas separate from the USA ?? I would.

We didn’t stop them from saving people; we stopped them from cleaning up dead bodies.. because that’s .. better?

Good work as usual Andrew
At 2:03 doesnt the dog look like its wiping its ass on the ground
Andrew
🤓just a minor correction🤓🤓🤓
Daniel
The two aren’t mutually exclusive and there is no one trick. Eating healthy helps lose weight and so does exercise. Combine them and the pounds will vanish.
Hannah
I love the dog in the background
Just a minor correction, Texas has a National Guard, and a State Guard. Andrew kept saying State Guard in the context that the president has authority over them, he doesn’t, only National Guard. The governor is the only person that can mobilize the State Guard. And the T patches, are the State Guard, hence why Biden hasn’t “withdrawn” them, since he has no authority to do so.
Pat
The way Dr. Phil says “1,100 Chinese” rubs me the wrong ass way lmao
Lamb0fTodd
For real though the trick to losing weight isn't exercise, although it helps make you healthier, the trick is to eat less, and eat healthier foods. I think a lot of people mentally block this possibility out because they don't wanna give up the food they use to emotionally cope with life, but there is a better way. The exercise definitely helps keep your mental health elevated, I never slip into deep depressions anymore like I did when I was sedentary and feeling bad for myself

JUST what I was thinking..
new content coming or...?

He did say there would be a video at 5:55 every sunday for the next 55 weeks or something like that.
Riley
Alright, in the last two weeks. Either way - more than enough content for this time period. This kind of incessant pestering for content wouldn't motivate anyone to put out their best work. C5 puts out journalism that isn't like anyone else. Just let them do their thing.

love to see that new shit now. this fool stingy
State Guard is not the same as National Guard. State Guard is not a part of the federal military. Federal military includes Active duty, national guard and reservists. State Guard is bullshit militia, purely paramilitary cosplay. Poorly organized and composed or worthless losers who couldn't hack it in the REAL military.

It's honestly aggravating how Republicans constantly play politics with peoples lives. They would rather have an open border and complain about it being an open border and take advantage of this situation to campaign on rather then actually come to the table and compromise(See the most conservative border bill crafted by Republicans that they themselves aborted), all on the graves of people too disillusioned by the fake America that Republicans peddle. It sickens me more that these Yokels are so infested with propaganda that at the drop of the hat they are willing to drop their lives to cosplay as border patrol over what is a non-issue comparatively to the insane conspiracy theory they've all invested themselves in to.
Wow. Actual journalism
Mr. Andrew give me more.

I would also argue that Mexican migrants are far closer to the original inhabitants of our land compared to those reactivating the "gotta be white to be human" movement. The snake is a perfect symbol for these "American" people, always stabbing communities and states in the back and feeding off of them slowly for a very long period afterwards.
Doston
there is no hope for the average american that does not see migrants as human, they literally said theyre trying to brainwash them with "education" xD what a depressing outlook on life. The US govt RUINED latin american politics PURPOSEFULLY, as taught in any AP world history course...

Andrew definitely getting invited to the BBQ, regardless of who's hosting! I'm still baffled by your ability to get people from both sides of the isle to open up on camera. Even drug dealers, which I thought was wild.
Steven Broll
For those saying its so easy to cross the border, its like just signing a guest book and coming in, how about you hook them up with those coyotes and let them figure it out first hand like you did.
Hey Andrew, I know you said recently you wanted to pivot a bit away from the more serious content for a bit and do something lighthearted, but I want you to know that the work you are doing now, exposing the truths going on in our nation, is important, it's God's work, and the rest of our media isn't doing it. We, the People, may be divided now, but the Truth will unite us, and you're bringing it to us. Hunter S. Thompson would be proud. Keep being genuine and changing the world.
Yorick
Even from Spain, I'm continuously amazed by how eye-opening and interesting these videos about the US illegal immigration situation are. Great work on journalism, while I enjoyed the older “humorous” content, this more serious approach is very well done, truly shedding light on important global issues. Well worth the Patreon sub!
pigeonslap
Mainstream media would learn a lot from Channel 5. Love ya Andrew xo
also i hope you have a great day and get everything you want in life, I love you even tho i don't know you
i said foo in my comment, i'm not trying to act smart, i just thought someone with knowledge about law would help the channel, and he seemed passionate about journalism.
easydersit
curious what you thought he said that was so insightful he deserves employment at C5? spoiler: not everyone who goes to law school is intelligent
easydersit
what a bunch of ignorant morons.
easydersit
... the irony of course being that his approach is generally not to take a stance on topics and just allow the people he interviews to speak freely, but go off Evan.
Employ the law student, that foo is too smart to waste his gift in the work force, give him a microphone.
Evan Andrews
I cannot get enough of your content Andrew, the stance you take on topics, how cordial you are with people no matter if they are a drug dealer or someone with very different mindsets, and what you choose to cover is above and beyond any media coverage I have ever seen. You seem to refer to your background of covering fringe topics that didn't seem to mean much and just showcase the loudest person there, but it has helped you develop so much as a journalist. Much love and please keep it up.

Very nice people, was expecting something else
Many parts of the Constitution use the term “people” or “person” rather than “citizen.” We can reasonably conclude therefore, that rights to own property, engage in lawful employment, rights under the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause apply to citizens and noncitizens. https://ualr.edu/socialchange/2020/11/16/undocumented-immigrants-have-constitutional-rights-too/#:~:text=Many%20parts%20of%20the%20Constitution,apply%20to%20citizens%20and%20noncitizens.
Joshua Duarte
Are you confused as to who organizes, funds, trains, and mobilizes state guards? They’re independent of the federal government and do not fall under the DOD. Try again. You’re wrong.
Yeah it does. Any and all military is under the control of the commander in chief. In the military hierarchy, governors report to the president. The chain of command is unbroken.
Borotzky
Plz more content Andrew. I need to continue moving forward with my life. I give you money, please give me dopamine.
Man that border patrol dog was just enjoying himself! Scratching, and rolling around all the time. On a serious note, this was a great video. As a non American, i got to say; Shits wild!
The problem with that is he would have to dedicate a while piece to the VA and how the government has taken money from it just about any time it needs to send money other places, the VA has always been historically underfunded and you cant cover everything to do with it in a video about the border. Its just not logical or fair to vetrens.
I think if you want to continue to elevate your journalism you need to add more fact checking. Is the VA underfunded? IDK! But you should look into it more than just moving along because it agrees with your already formed conceptions.
Adam Noffsinger
Great episode!
The dog in the background is being such a stinker

Which Senator?
pls respond with part 2 i gave you mah heart and soul
CollinM
Well, a senator has already begun talking about “giving migrants citizenship for joining the military’ not good. They may be more poised to turn in Americans than other Americans
Are you passive-aggressively asking Andrew to personally endorse a political side because this content somehow makes you uncomfortable?
Asylum seekers receive, from the same government website sourced to the $180/month cash, free housing via shelters or vouchers, childcare, child education, free emergency healthcare, low-cost non-emergency healthcare (medicaid I believe?), mental healthcare, english classes, state-run food banks, and cancer/HIV care. They are also connected to other private charities. Edit APPEND: Childcare in NY averages to $1,365 per month (infants cost more, "kids" cost less). NY rent costs, well I'm sure you can guess. Your average citizen is beholden to corporate monthly cost health insurance with premiums, or uninsured. Public schools are funded by communities tax dollars you can learn more in your local politics, they are always trying to raise them to give teachers better pay and improve schools.

For every 1 truly good thing you see a day, sometimes there's 5-10 things that truly stain your faith in humanity. Sounds dramatic but I hope you understand you might be that 1 good thing for someone. I hope you can focus on being the good and helping those distracted by the bad.

This was an interesting watch as always. Bummer you couldn't find the 700,000 trucks though... I would love to know how that channel came up with that number. Insane. Hopefully you find some in the next part. Props to the Law Student, hope his submission is solid.
Happy to support!
HeyRooster
Don't change the topic please. We can help both. What solutions do you have to aid in the homelessness/migrant crisis? They are two separate problems with two separate solutions. What sort of aid does NYC offer to the homeless? Would you like me to hold your hand through that information as well? I'm more than happy to educate, champ.
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
Tell that to homeless American citizens, retard. I’m sure they’ll agree with your genius assessment

Don Jolly shot a great shot, I’d definitely want to see atleast 1 correspondence from him besides his submission for this.

My favorite part was when you hit the lady up with "So what's up?"

Niiice. The dude who was g9nna do the submission seemed like he knew his stuff.. I was getting Hunter s Thompson vibes... Very awesome stuff man 👏 you can see how far you have came and how jail changed you a little bit in the last couple ep. Imo.. anyways stay safe out there ✌️
Hey Andrew, I'm a viewer from Duluth, Minnesota. I really like your content, its similar to Bandon Buckingham's. I hope you are having a good day, a profitable venture, and know that you are inspiring, educating, and uplifting others, I also hope you plan on reducing the price of patreon membership or figure out a way to make it cheaper for some, just a thought! If you ever think about doing a story in or around my City or the counties surounding, I might have leads or ideas regarding.
My dad and my uncle are veterans, they are complete opposites in how they handled their VA benefits. My dad was responsible and immediately filled out the proper paper work to claim them, and hes been getting paid nearly 90k/year for it. My uncle on the other hand forgot to do it, and convinced himself that he could no longer get them. Well 10 years later he goes and sees that he has nearly 600k waiting for him in payback. People mess up, wait too long, don't do it right, etc, but they are there. It might take an hour to get a hold of the VA on the phone, but you still can.

It's not because of immigration but the stock markets are almost completely decoupled from the economic reality of anyone middle class and below. 50% of Americans own only .5% of all stocks and 10% own 87% of all stocks. If companies start going bankrupt everyone would notice but short of that the stock market isn't that great of an indicator. Unemployment, inflation, and wealth inequality are better indicators. Unemployment and inflation are looking a lot better now, but wealth inequality is still increasing.

The florida state guard already had a couple of scandals with their training. I would say that anyone who is forced to served with them needs to be careful.

Felix Toth
Wondering the same
This is my exact thought process when having these discussions. Their own representatives are the ones making it harder to get any meaningful work done at the government level but of course illegal immigrants and liberals are the boogie man when in reality they give back to our country far more than they take. It’s crazy how close our values align but they are too blinded by propaganda to understand.
Ben and Shannon
the second he said pol I got itchy. if he can leave personal beliefs out of his content, I'm sure it'd be great stuff!
Ben and Shannon
I love how these maga guys are complaining about "free stuff" this and "free stuff" that and "our homeless vets" like my guy, YOU VOTED for your vets to be this way. Because any time policy would be brought up to HELP vets, it was purposely worded as a "free hand out" so you'd vote against it. and it's the same reason SSI benefits are shrinking. What is it going to take for these people to realize they are more progressive than they think they are?? we could all live a happier life but they don't care as long as they can see others suffer more than they do....
Yeah how can I join?

HeyRooster
Hey, any rebuttal to $180 a month? I betcha didn't know the number, or the duration. Get your head out of your own ass, it's a really bad look. We need to be able to get past these silly talking points and get to the truth of a situation. You're angry about someone getting $6 a day to live off of and claiming it's a massive windfall of sorts. That's literal lunacy. You're being used. Stop being so angry cause someone got something you didn't. We're all still people, just trying to survive.
Alex N
Agree, although I find the channeling of Christianity/God as a way of virtue signaling & justifying their beliefs/actions pretty ironic considering God was, as made very clear in the Bible, a massive advocate for immigration/immigrants.
Alex N
These people have no idea what they believe in. “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” Exodus 22:21 Exodus 23:9 Leviticus 19:33-34 Deuteronomy 23:16 Ezekiel 47:22-23 Leviticus 25:35-37 Deuteronomy 10:18-19 Deuteronomy 24:14-17 Zechariah 7:10 Deuteronomy 27:19 Malachi 3:5 Ezekiel 22:7 Zechariah 7:10 Psalm 146:9 Jeremiah 7:6 Jeremiah 22:3
djdeutschebahn
(1) But how do you prevent people from deserting? Do you assume motivation/morale is high, bc of the possible citizenship? (2) Also you need enough first and second level superior officers for training and guaranteeing operability. But maybe a small problem for the American army. (3) I doubt you want to count on people to die for your war, if you first forced them into the military service.
Marius Schoeman
Bumping up the population via open borders, next will fast track citizenship via service to enact conscription when USA goes to war/is invaded/invades next target.
Yak
Balkanization is a completely different thing to mass immigration. Additionally, you're taking the common and fairly stupid view that immigration had much to do with the fall of Rome. Rome was literally always highly multi-ethnic, and they imported huge amounts of slaves from all over the empire to work in Italy. This incredibly lopsided economy was just one of the many, many problems that plagued the Roman empire from its earliest days, and led to multiple stages of collapse. There was an entire century between the principiate and the domitiate where there was no central authority in the empire at all. Those successor states you mentioned were almost always someone coming in to fill a power vacuum after the Roman state fell apart for one reason or another. The people that sacked Rome weren't anything like migrants that come in to the US, they were literally invading armies marching under generals.
Joshua Duarte
Federal government does not have the ultimate authority over a state guard lol

You missed a great chance to say indubitably instead of undebatably, i don’t even think that’s a word (good post and opinion tho)
Steve Derenne
4 yrs regular Army here. We made fun of National guard back in the day. I have a whole new respect for the Guard. They served in all our latest wars and have seen some shit.
Andrew Kee
Nailed it.
As a National Guard soldier, I want to clear up some terminology that is actually important. National Guard is part time service with dual oath to state and federal government. You go through regular Army basic and initial entry training, can go to regular Army schools like Airborne or whatever. Same with Air Force National Guard. State Guard like what Desantis deployed only serves the state, and I would argue is a less professional force given that they don't go through federal military training, just whatever their state comes up with. Often times these dudes look barely more professional than right wing extremist militias. To summarize: National Guard: can take orders from State and Federal Government State Guard: only takes orders from their governor.
Andrew Hart
Watch what happens - migrants will come in AND THENNNNN we say the economy is suddenly bad haha - not that it isn't NOW! ;) ROFL - WATCH!

Honestly comes down to a states rights issue . If Texas feels that it’s an issue , they can do whatever they feel fit .
Benjamin Bradshaw
I mean I hear you, but how do you know she's British? Just curious, genuinely asking.
Bv
So people say “we welcome immigrants but only if they come in legally”. Ok so they mean that it’s best if immigrants first apply to a visa or asylum paper and only after they get an approval they should enter the US through an official port of entry. In theory this can be done already. But in practice the uscis department is so incredibly backed up, that this option is not viable at all for 90% of immigrants. This could be fixed but only with tax dollars being allocated to uscis
Walt
There is plenty of data online from USCIS, CBP, BLS. If you're interested it is a worth a couple hours to sit down and look at the numbers.
HeyRooster
Hey, I found it! They are given $180 a month for FOOD and BABY SUPPLIES, for a maximum of 2 years. Darn, they're filthy rich now. No wonder they go to NYC, that's quite the cash windfall.
holy hell the whiplash on that last line. "Ah nice, she's not a denier, wait what"
Dasloops
Did we watch the same video? These people made reasonable statements about their concerns and were trying to protest peacefully. Also I'm truly puzzled by the British flag ending.
Dasloops
Great work team! Entertaining and humanizing. It's kinda shocking to read the comments here calling these people delusional and trash. They made some very reasonable points, were peaceful, and weren't trying to sew divide. If you disagree with them, fine, make an argument that's not based on an ad hominem attack then.
Dasloops
How does more money fix this?
HeyRooster
I'm only asking you to back-up your stories. It's not a huge ask, pal. Could you point me into the right direction at least, Bud Bud?
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
I’m not going to hold your hand or spoon feed you anything. Do research, read varied sources. Maybe you won’t be so woefully delusional in the future if you step outside your little echo chamber, pal.
Virginia Hanna
Yeah :) Anyone who is interested in reaching across the aisle and understanding more... I read about that stuff in a book written by two women from opposite ends of the political spectrum and it taught me a lot!! It's called, "What Women Really Want" and it's by Celinda Lake (a judge and Democrat) and Kelly Anne Conway (former Senior Counselor for Trump, a pollster/political consultant, and well known Republican). Reading about ideas and opinions you disagree with can be uncomfortable, but that discomfort is often connected to growth and expanding your understanding of the world. For example, math hurts my brain... Because it challenges me, but then once I understand it doesn't hurt my brain anymore.
Will Corlett
Well said. At the end of the day, all parties desire these same basic rights.
HeyRooster
Nobody is denying anything, you have yet to present any facts. Please calm yourself. I only ask that you share these "facts" with me. It should be incredibly simple, I'm told that the details are super obvious and easy to prove. Please easily back-up your claims.
HeyRooster
How much? Don't be flippant, just answer the questions please. Do they cross the border, teleport to NYC and are handed money? How much? How do they get to NYC from Mexico? What kind of prepaid card, Amex? Details please. Thank you.
Harry Aiken
It was an analogy to the civil war and succession. These people in their own relationship advocate working things out. Would be interesting to see how they feel about that with political issues with other people.

Every celebration or protest in America should consist of tailgating, pounding beer, and mudding. We literally celebrate a violent revolutionary war for independence every year on July 4th the exact same way, why not do this for a protest or any other movement?

@Gaius Nietzsche Patton Based, all my homies hate the britbongs
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
The comments once again flooded with people in complete denial of reality. No shocker here but heck you guys are probably right. We can allow in 3 million people (the population of a US state) over 12 months and have no issues at all. Definitely nothing bad has happened as a result of this, not a thing. We can do it! The US has no underlying issues whatsoever! It’s a paradise over here! So what isolated island of an upper middle class suburb do you retards inhabit exactly?
Josh
I don't know what you're getting at, and with a name like that, I don't think you know either.
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
They literally just got pre-paid debit cards in NYC. Do you live under a rock?
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
Ignoring the fact a state’s worth of people have been allowed in the past 12 months. Those numbers are unprecedented. How do you live in denial of hard facts?
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
Yup let’s let in a state’s worth of people in one year. We can totally handle it. This country has zero problems. Something so easy for a foreigner like you to say. They aren’t flooding your country and you don’t see the issues that already exist. But that’s what everyone thinks, the US needs to shoulder the problems of the whole world in addition to our own. Get a grip on reality and stop living in a delusional kumbaya world.
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
It’s like looking in a mirror isn’t it? Makes you uncomfortable?
Gaius Nietzsche Patton
Oh the sanctimonious Brit thinking they can have a valid opinion about the security of America, shocking. This is why everyone worth a shit left your country over the past 300 years and you’ve been deduced to a nanny state of spineless wimps. Have fun getting stabbed the next time you go outside.
What kinda camera did you guys get?

Fantastic work Channel 5! Keep it up!
BCL
In every empire that's ever crumbled, one of the key factors that led to their demise was either overexpansion of territory or mass immigration e.g. balkanization. This is common knowledge, the Migration Period within the Roman Empire was extremely significant and ultimately resulted in post-Roman kingdoms of largely shared ethnic populations that culminated during the time of mass immigration (Frankish Kingdom, Gallia, Allamanic Kingdom). Doesn't fill me with joy knowing how few people are able to contextualize world history with our current foreign/domestic policies and utilize lessons learned from the past.
Virginia Hanna
When you really disagree with someone it's super important to fully understand what they believe and how they arrived at those beliefs. So, it's great what c5 is doing here. The other really important thing to remember when dealing with anyone that you disagree with is that at our core most of us have the same core desires and just different ways of achieving and protecting those.... They are things like, safe shelter (a roof over your head), safety for our family/friends/selves, food to eat, clean water to drink... The things that undebatably we all want. If you can really understand that, it gets easier to understand and respect the people you disagree with. Same goals, different ideas for how to achieve them.

you think he is actually voting for biden? i'm not an american but from my perspective it seems that he is targeting biden - which sometimes is absolutely fair, i just think it pushes people to the only other candidate.
Virginia Hanna
Vote for whoever you think is the best candidate. None of us need Andrew to tell us or anyone who to vote for. That's kinda like the whole point of what he's doing. UNBIASED journalism that investigates whole stories from as many angles as possible to reveal complexities and foster a more full or complete understanding.

Hormones change as u age and sex drive diminishes significantly. So, communication, trust, and friendship really are the most important things to a lasting adult relationship.

Heartless, fear filled people. So sad. Ty for allowing others to witness so all are aware. And notice the state of their overall physical health. I’m not sure if they will sign up for duty in a civil war. I am certain they could be defeated by a group of unarmed fifth graders. God bless and amen. 🇬🇧

I love the random conversation about the couple’s happy relationship haha. It’s sad how many normal folk get sucked into stuff that spirals into bad stuff

Red shirt man should spend more time trimming his nose hairs and less time pontificating at a border he has no control over. Our world would benefit. 😂😂😂

I know right? And either Joe Biden is a blithering idiot or a criminal mastermind. 😂😂😂

Great work as always. An important note, however, is that the Texas State Guard is not the same entity as the Texas National Guard and does not fall under the purview of the president. The TXSG is solely under the purview of the governor and can not be called into federal service or be issued a stand down order from the federal government. Both TXSG and TXNG are stationed at the border, among a bunch of random LE agencies, but only the TXNG can be nationalized.

Out of the 70k homeless in Los Angeles County, I know how small the percentage of immigrants. Also, I know from experience how infinitesimal the percentage of homeless who choose to be. These two boneheads should get another hobby. Amen.

Remember the fall of Rome didn't happen overnight, it took 250 years. Happy you are here to document the protracted decline of this country and the ease with which its mostly-idiotic populace gets duped into culture war and being angry about shit that doesn't matter or affect them while our corporate overlords continue to rob us.
Anthony J Malone
I think it's pretty clear what his position is and I hope to god he doesn't spell it out for the blockheads in the room because that would jeopardize his ability to collect this footage and information. sheesh

Muckraker has a video on them taking a huge hike through a popular route into the U.S. showing how many suspicious individuals are making their way up here.
Andrew R
For sure and seems to provide meaningful insight on what he’s seeing instead of just being a dude with a camera.
Hey Andrew, this is thought provoking as always. I appreciate the attempt to move beyond ridicule and polarization, but now I would really like to see factual analysis of the current migration crisis from the perspective of an academic scholar, along the same lines as the interview you provided about the current conflict in Gaza. I do not "fuck with" insurrectionists or trump supporters, so clarification of your position on the coming election might be nice as well. Not really sure how I felt about some of this, but I'm along for the ride.

The only real way to fix our immigration system is to spend more money on it, and the party that traditionally wants less government spending wouldn’t go for it.

i feel like these caravans always turn out to just be a bunch of people traveling together towards a destination, just shouting their opinions on the way. Then when they finally get there they just tailgate and drink all day or night. its like a touring redneck festival. \i mean come on, the truckers are pulling up on a ranch, and not a ranch in the middle of town. what kind of protest is that? who's gonna see this?
Mateo Gallego
Hell yeah!!!

Relax, nobody is coming to get you.
It's so funny to watch the man she's with present well-rounded, somewhat reasonable arguments so you can begin to see how he arrived at what he believes... just for her to parrot some fucking batshit propaganda and make the whole thing seem like a parody.
It's an unfortunate side effect of the tribalism within the west. I'm British and simply cannot believe how everyone just ignores the fact that all of "our" museums are full to the brim with stolen artifacts. Our culture and national pride is nothing but a ruse.
I mean I'm not sure it contradicts much directly. It just kind of reminds you that the group is comprised of real people. This is often the issue with politics: you lump almost all of the population into two categories, pit them against each other, and then suddenly an instinctual part of our brain just starts to view everything through the lens of group identity. You lose all nuance, and the reality is that common ground is really what changes peoples' minds.

Yeah also this idea that homeless people just don’t “conform” and “choose to be homeless” is just a way to excuse away the way the society we live in leaves people behind and blames people as individuals rather than any kind of broad / systemic problem with our economic system and society.

Homestead act was “stuff for free” this is native indigenous land .. my ancestors lived in and around eagle pass before USA or Mexico were countries .. Apache, Comanche and Kickapoo

The whole homeless narrative really bothers me since I feel like it’s simply used to cover the failures that we’ve failed to address here at home every time I hear that argument I just think it’s a facade it’s easier to scapegoat those coming from another country then to fix the problem

Thank you, Channel 5.
Being neutral is the sole responsibility of the journalist. Andrew absolutely leans left, but is doing his best to paint the right as real people. That older couple who talked about the "spoon" was great, because it contradicts so much of what we've been fed about right-wing trump supporters (misogynist, "classic values", etc.).

Sacha Devoretz
I am at a loss for words. I'm surprised that there are not any people there defending the migrants and their plight. Also, side note, but isn't the United States technically taken from the first nations (native) people? And everyone else (including these trucker protesters) are immigrants themselves? It would be really interesting to see if any of these protesters previous ancestors showed up on boats or by other means to the US, and now that they have been in the USA for a few generations, no longer consider their heritage as immigrants?

Chinese spies, terrorists, cyber terrorists attacking our critical infrastructure like water and electrical grids. It's all a possibility right now.

I got most of the way through this video before I realized these folks were claiming the border is completely open and allowing migrants to just waltz over, to a person who was arrested for illegally crossing the border. Meta.
