ur wild this is greatly entertaining and informative

Kiersten

Ngl almost puked at the snickers bar.

Patrick

I recently found a pile of discardeitems in the desert of Tucson. Interesting to find a Russian velcro flag of the gear... made me wonder other countries spreading propaganda about the USA...

katrina

🙏🙏🙏

CaptainCorpse13

Great quote from Andrew, "I think if we actually want to solve the border issue we need to figure out where and how this America Rules/American Dream propaganda begins in developing nations and figure out how to give the world a more realistic picture to our declining nation."

Brian

ahhh yes... nothing says welcome home to the land of the free like razor wire, an arrest, and solitary confinement! lol

Brian

where has this "America Rules" stuff been coming from you ask? FROM AMERICA!!! You guys have been shoving it down our (the World's) throat since the 60s. lol

Nic soroka

We really need to push the idea that America is a shit hole so no one else comes here. America is pretty much a third world country wearing a Gucci belt

Rashid Nasib

holy fucking shit

Ethan

And they didn’t have to walk

Val Dewar

This is one of the greatest journalistic endeavors I've ever seen

Adam Lubeck

The Darién Gap?????

Serena

I am always in awe of the journalistic quality of your work. Thank you for shedding light on important issues that are often glossed over in mainstream news sources and providing an unparalleled level of research and background information to these topics. I am Canadian so my knowledge of a lot of these issues is slim to none, but I have seriously been enjoying learning more about American politics and social issues from your channel. Thanks Andrew, keep up the good work

dakota earls

Good job Andrew 👍

James Begera

Same here

Devon Storlie

Same here!

Yak

do you want a video essay or do you want on-the-ground news coverage?

Ant

And btw I don’t remember being worried about poor people being poor is considered conservatively biased. Where do you think these people end up? In port cities that are poor as hell like where I grew up. Two principals - There is a wrong and a right way to do things

Ant

I’m paying for the channel…aPpReCiaTe they are issues, they aren’t biased… you’re biased. If somethings happening you’re downplaying it by saying it bias. That’s weird.

Daniel Krieger

This episode made me a patron. Incredible work. Thank you andrew

Kyle

same!

Jake Lee

So you got arrested by CPB, but you saved 5k on coyote fees 😂

Sarah & Bob

Damn yo. I was on the fence joining Patreon, but seeing this video on YouTube, I just had to.

martinvox

This is fucking real journalism. I can’t believe the shit that we see on the TV nowadays. PLEASE, be safe. This is going to sound egoistic but we need you. Thank you so much for all the hard work.

peacenluv

no one does it like you do man!

warmode

Yo, does anybody have the source for the infographic at 4:28?? I neeeeeed it.

Daniel Hunter

Holy shitting shit Andrew is maybe the greatest independent journalist i've ever seen

No I don’t like chicken nuggets

Billy Deskin

This is wild bro. Youre the goat.

Jonathan Greenlee

Also the fishermen are part of the enforcement network. The sentiment is very positive I agree! Just want to be sure no one drops their guard if in a similar situation.

Spunkie

The patreon streams are super low quality. Can you please also provide direct download links in future posts?

arianna banks

thank u for this ヽ(´∀｀ヽ)

Wes Bocian

Wild journey! Super well documented

Wet Meat

Bless that old fisherman, what a nice dude. Id be shitting bricks the second I saw Border Patrol

Lilith

This 1st hand account reporting is why I love watching you videos! Great stuff

Ando

Would love to hear more of your thoughts on mainstream media and the culture wars in North America. Perhaps a podcast or interview?

Gabriel Weinbrenner

No one is covering this situation like you guys. Didn't even know it would take thousands to cross

Ramon R R

there was an error in translation around 00:37, the guy says "cautela" which means caution.

Connor Magee

Damn this is fantastic work. Thank you for taking the risk

Carlos Guerra

5 days later, your comment didn’t age well.

MrDesertPunk

Hope you're alright man, that's a dangerous situation to be in, and holy fuck this is some bad ass journalism.

akira

so brother, where is the next part?

Christopher Anderson

NGL he had me the first half. RIP

Dasloops

Great work! Imo the american dream is more the chance of upward mobility than anything else, where their kids can get a good education and have a chance at a US college degree. It’s commendable to see migrants sacrificing everything for a chance at a better future for their kids.

Sam

I fail to see how you cannot Appreciate what this man is doing. If you are so concerned about those other issues you have listed, why don’t you go and look into them and report back to us 👍

Sam

Awesome work Andrew! What you’re doing is incredible and so inspiring. Well done and thank you for showing the world what we don’t usually see.

ANDREW IM STARVING FOR MORE CONTENT PLZ

Patrick

How much I gotta pay for part 4 Andrew - where is it

Marcos Lauteren

Also bruh ik how hard solitary can suck depending wya I was in for a lil over two weeks during my 6 months before I bailed out and those two weeks was worse than all the rest keep ur dick phat balls big

Marcos Lauteren

Idk how you don’t keep a strap on you bruh

Jake Gatewood

need part 4 yesterday, king.

Alk3Catch22

Border Patrol's thermal imaging probably easily picked up Andrew's massive balls. I'm surprised they didn't weigh him down when he was crossing the water.

Dorian Bustillos

Journalists are known targets of the Cartel. I think if anything Andrew should pull back after this video as to not attract lethal attention from the wrong people. Also he is not trying to be conservatively bias, alot of what you just said would be perceived as bias.

Ant

Andrew, part of your coverage seems underwhelming. No one can deny the moral pressure to want to help some of these people, but what about the fentanyl smuggling? What about the organ harvesting of some of these migrants by cartels as a form of payment to get smuggled? What about the implications to the economy that is already stretched thin? Our emergency resources, school budgets, food production, housing situation - now pumped with millions of future low income people? The poor get poorer.

Melinda Shakti

Keep up the amazing journalism. Grateful for all your sacrifices and efforts to bring us the perspectives of our fellow humans. The mainstream propaganda gets people on all sides of the economic spectrum. Especially when it comes to the hype of living in the usa.

beeeitch

part 4 dad

DaveGuy

im checking about 3 times per day to see if part 4 is out

Tico

My dad is crazy

Jack O'Hearen

Cheers to you Andrew, literally nowhere else in journalism can you find content like this. Hope you made it out fine. Thank you for your work.

Kyle Perry

Same here came for this!

DonettaTrump

If he wasn't on a watch list he is now. Wonder how long he can continue before getting 'the talk'

MySelf69

cant wait for next part

Emilio Sánchez

I can second what Oscar says, i also have family that sold everything for a chance.

Owen Davies

That is insane

Adeezy

Holy fuck, i was not expecting that ending.

Paris Gore

Insane journalism. Gonzo lives on. But just to ask did you assume these guys were going to do this for free ? Seems obvious they would have charged you or anyone crossing for the same amount of risk.

Oscar Rodriguez

they mean dollars. I know a family that crossed and they paid 100k pesos per person, people give up their life savings, sell off what little they have in order to afford the crossing.

Owen Davies

I came back just to say: There is a lot of confusion as the term "dollar" is used interchangeably to mean peso. It seems suspicious that those suffering extreme poverty can come up with $5k (USD?) to cross the border. I now think they mean pesos, which you talk a little about here. Maybe you could go over that more? Thanks for the good work! Had some dental work done in Algodones this weekend, quoted me $14 for mouthwash and then charged me $22. I realized they meant pesos and it cost me $1.29 USD. So yeah, if you need dental work done, it's worth some research

Dan Ridlon

Man, we're going nuts waiting for part 4. Can't wait to see that

PainDrain

crazy.... well done gentlemen

This It's the type of journalism I want to see from everyone. Don't tell me what you think the story is. Just go to the place and let the people talk.

Gustavoamaya Amaya

Wow. Amazing work. My family (may or not may not have) done the trip across the border to America. America right now is hard to live in. Money is tight for us and it sucks. But we love it here and we have made it our home and it feels great being here. I'm in school and about to finish with a BS degree. I hope to get married and have a life settled in America. But with DACA and being undocumented, it is tough to see a life like that without barriers. It sucks being in a country that loves and hates you. A constant struggle of having to prove myself of belonging here. I wish things were better, but we are here and that's what matters. Thank you for the work you do and keep it up!!!

Ghuntz

Great work! Just wanted to mention the flag that shows up at 0:16 is a Colombian flag, not a Venezuelan one. Keep it up!

Tyler Jennings

Totally insaneo style

Guilherme Amaral

Agreed. And better welfare state too. (Europe)

Cairnage

Incredible what yous are doing now man. Best news outlet worldwide. Free Channel 5.

sasha zhoya

Love the content. When is part 4 coming out?

Isabella Lugo

Same!

Jason Alvarez

Amazing work. You guys have shown me my own ignorance on such a subject even as a Mexican-American. This is the journalism we need.

Channel 5

I’m not saying that it’s not horrible conditions where they’re coming from. It’s just that - There’s other developed, first world nations with a higher quality of life that are actually closer to places like Senegal than the USA

Guilherme Amaral

Have you considered I could've lived part of my life in the US? 😉 Not the illegal migrant service worker grind, but 5y spent on American soil. Imo it's a bit pretentious to say "we know better what's best for illegal migrants" and blaming the whole thing on American dream propaganda. Like I said, Andrew should visit the actual places of origin of those people. It's impossible to understand their motivations without understanding where they come from.

Saunders

Lmfao so you’re not from the US but you think you know what life is like here ? So exactly what you’re trying to claim Andrew is doing. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Guilherme Amaral

4 min in. Andrew ranting about America's problems as something that would stop migrants. Honestly lmfao. Andrew clearly has never been to a slum in a 3rd world country. Would be interesting to see his reflections after he visits the places of origin of all those migrants. Despite all its problems, America is way better than any place of origin of those migrants. 100% sure. Greetings from latin America. Keep up the good work.

Brady Long Legs

This is the first and only Patreon I've subscribed to and I am so glad I did. Hope my $5 helps with the legal fees! Also mainstream media is gonna love having a federal crime to hold over your head! "Rogue YouTuber commits federal crime and illegally crosses the border in publicity stunt." The bullshit that will be printed... Stay strong!

Oisin Cregan

Great journalism

jerrydotexe

Austin Ivy

This was incredible!!!!

aquador

Between the extortion network situation on the Mexican side, and a guided 24hr desert walk on the American side, bet the arrest even felt like a relief. Could really feel the tension in this one, amazing work. Really appreciate the stress it must have cost you guys to bring us the story. Shame we couldn't get more on Ernesto!

Jean Guy

he's going sicko mode

This is the best journalism I've seen. Absolutely great work gentlemen. Wishing you all the best.

The thought of 14 year olds being coyotes!

this is insane lol. So worth the money

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a clearer depiction of an existing free market! The música helped, but the threat of violent death was there all along.

Hell of a cliffhanger!

Oscar

Hahah those guys fishing probably get drunk and watch all the migrants either fail or get across

Oscar

The American Mexican voices are no joke when they are giving you commands !!!!!

Darriik Shorey

I thought the same thing! I’m curious to know their angle. Maybe they thought having Andrew along would help them get into the US? Maybe it was a test to become actual coyotes? The dude in the red could have been there to check up on them. I have so many questions.

Paul Saxman

It's not necessarily that migrants believe that life is easier in the USA, with unlimited social welfare and a higher minimum wage. There's also the perception that there's a greater opportunity to uplift oneself, and your offspring, in the USA, compared the their home countries. The idea that hard work and dedication allows one to go further in the USA, economically and socially, compared to other countries. However, there are already a lot of people in the USA with better access to education, more inherited wealth, and a strong desire to succeed, as well as racial biases. As a result, many migrants find themselves trapped at the bottom rung, without the education, experience, or resources to truly better their lives. Mult-generational migrant families, where the children of migrants become fluent in English, get an education in the US, and are familiar with US culture, are able to significantly get ahead, however. Many migrants to the USA understand this, which is why they're content to work low-paying labor and service jobs while their kids go to school.

Why_I_ am_Anonymous

Just joined Patreon and I'm glad I did. Amazing journalism, Andrew and team! You do what others won't dare to. Much respect to you all. True independent journalism at its FINEST <3

Mason Mundy

Amazing work Andrew. Please exercise caution when you can.

Maciek

Is it just me or those 2 coyotes just suck ass at their job? I'm not even sure if those are real ones. I mean it was this rapper's contacts after all lmao. ZERO preparation, not even a pair of binoculars to survey surroundings. No talk about payment or at least a deposit before crossing into US. Charging gringos upper end of 3-5k range. And to top it off, they ARE crossing with them, instead of taking payment, giving them exact directions where to go and watching them get out on the other side from distance? Are they walking 60+ miles (and back) with every 'customer'? Lmao... If not for the border patrol at the end, I would think this was just a set up for fun and views.

Jeff M

Unbelievable journalism and courage. Excellent reporting!

I’m sure 2 mill is a low estimate.

Gavin Armstrong

Now this is why I have the Patreon. This content is next fucking level and no journalist are putting themselves in this type of danger to get an understanding of what’s going with our nations biggest issues. Andrew and his crew doing the most for us all much appreciation.

Derrick Bryan

THANK YOU! You're the only one showing what's really happening down there.

Wait, if the camera was confiscated, did the border patrol agents see uncensored footage of the coyotes? uh oh.

Devin Hakola

keep it 55th street

EJ

This shit is wild, can't wait for part 4

Carlos Guerra

It matters a lot. It disincentives patronage. Not everyone will just pay him because they feel charity in their heart, he may be alienating a large market. Even if it’s the uncut, uncensored version as you say, there should be something differentiating the content on Patreon vs YouTube.

Poss

What does it matter? Patronage is to ensure these keep getting made, not to change them or hoard them. These vids need more views not less. I reckon the patreon exclusive stuff should be the uncensored cut, extended interviews, added backstory. I'd be sad if there were whole investigative pieces that didn't hit youtube.

Devon Birkner

Channel 5 4L

Carlos Guerra

You just post the videos here a week early?? They aren’t exclusive?

Poss

The US ain't gonna go around telling everyone life is crap in America. Freedom and apple pies is how global support for the hegemony is maintained. Ya'll think millions of economic migrants is a lot. Just wait until there are two billion climate refugees displaced by rising sea levels and collapsing food and water systems. A closed border will eventually mean drones shooting them in the water.

Just a Pinch of Nihilism

Dude, best reporting I’ve ever seen. Appreciate you 🤘🏻

Vance Axley

There are some economic reasons why having a big influx of labor might make sense. There maybe aren't a ton of American citizens chomping at the bit to work in agriculture or low paying service industries. Also consider declining birth rates in developing countries, and immigration as one of the best ways to counteract this trend, which has huge negative economic implications. Voting demographics may also be a factor, democratic party backed immigration might pay dividends in the long run for that party's chances at the polls... I Agree with you though, probably a better way to go about doing this...

Joanna Vandyke

good shit man

Kendall Frank

Brooooo

FORTYozSTEAK

I still don’t get it. Why are the borders open? What benefit is it to have a huge influx of migrants? Why not implement a system to legally do this? And of course it’s ILLEGAL for a citizen of the US to cross back into their country. WTF is wrong with this world

Benjamin Allen

Thank you!

FORTYozSTEAK

It wasn’t worth it

grungemafia

It’s not exactly necessary but it can be a lot more dangerous without one. a lot of the border crossing areas are controlled by cartels, which have coyotes working for them. so it’s more of a safety thing. because if you just try to cross through cartel controlled areas all willy nilly and the cartel finds you, you’re fucked. the cartels will shake you down for money and if you don’t have any money, they’ll just straight up kill you. so what some people do to avoid that is pay cartels for a sort of password, in order to travel freely and safely through the area. so if you’re found by a cartel member while traveling through, you tell them the password and they let you on your way. hope that explains it a bit for you

Holy fuck

BlazinRaisins

lol I thought the same thing although now he prob has to pay attorney fees for that fed case. He can't even use a free one since if you make more than around 60/k per year you don't have a right to a federal public defender. I was trying to look up what the actual charges are one thing said it's a civil penalty with a fine but then another source said a felony so I'm not sure.

Mitchel Baker

Duuuuuude you got detained, no way was not expecting that

Kevin Spiegelberg

Absolutely nuts. Love your dedication to the craft. Solitary confinement!? Looking forward to part four.

What a cliffhanger! Amazing episode. I was also pretty naive about where this journey was heading and the potential extortion/incarceration risks, I hadn't even thought about it until the "good Samaritan first aid" guy showed up. As soon as you hit the riverbank it was alarming to realize the situation you were in. Just incredible. Keep up the good work man

hoopoebird

Sidenote, I think the "America Rulez" propaganda is rooted in American corporate entitlement. I mean, it's easier for an American corporation to exploit the labor and environment of a developing nation if the sentiment towards America is positive. Also, entertainment is our best export, so there's that influence as well.

Release the unedited part from one side to the other, that would be really cool to see how long it takes, what the coyotes say and personally the ‘grunts’ and ‘fucks’ that were said in the process hah

hoopoebird

I love your analysis @4:00. That's a great, succinct breakdown. Impressive work in this segment.

Eddy

Definitely

Kyle

Andrew this was exhilarating to watch and incredibly humanizing for this issue. The perspective of seeing the actual journey for these people really highlights how dangerous and of a last resort this is.

Tanner Sullenger

Great stuff just stay safe my dude!

Matt Miller

On the bright side, border patrol saved you each 5k. So, kinda homies?

Marshall Holt

Andrew, you’re one of the few news sources left that I can trust. I’m so thankful you’re back and better than ever. The work you’ve put into yourself shows. You’ve handled controversy, self growth, and your return so well. Your work has improved so much since your break. Great job Andrew.

JR Mier

Andrew is really providing one of the last sources of media that doesn’t have an agenda and also shows both sides. Much respect to the channel 5 crew. Thank you for all that you do!

Jeremy Phipps

you guys are the best. these episodes are best in class for investigative journalism.

chrt1

Probably been said before but at 0.38 they don't say "mucha cartela", they say "mucha cautela" as in we have to be cautious, they don't want to get caught doing this.

mag gester

maybeeee. its great :) highly recommend

CosmicZep

I have not yet, i’ve heard of it many times but maybe i’ll finally give it a read.

Joel Stephenson

least u avoided paying that 5k ^_^

mag gester

have you ever read how to win friends and influence people? I think its one of the first chapters that covers what your comments is about

CosmicZep

Yeah he shouldn’t have any issues with the cartel unless the two guys were lying. Also it seemed as an effort to extort yet another person wanting to cross the border, not exactly like they were demanding it. They mentioned what is included with that price which is housing and food and everything

CosmicZep

It’s funny how the coyotes see themselves as doing good, when their whole job is to extort people crossing the border and even has little affiliates who demand payment for showing up with a machete ??? Glad this story didn’t end with those kids getting paid

abby

Can’t wait to be here when MSM finally collapses

Alex

if i remember correctly, the coyotes weren’t part of a cartel?

Gaius Nietzsche Patton

So terribly sorry it’s a novel concept to you that you can support someone while giving them constructive criticism and not blindly suck them off. But I’ve noticed independent thinking is a rare thing among most Channel 5 supporters ironically. Andrew is a human and prone to mistakes and biases just like the MSM he hates so much.

j

can't wait for next one damn what a cliffhanger

abby

It’s so funny I’ve seen you hate on so many of his videos now, and you PAY to do it lmao

Timm Fox

My thoughts are, does this make him a marked man to them and the cartel they work for? Because technically he owes them 10k. 5k per person and he and Larry Susan did this journey.

Virginia Hanna

This was a wild ride. Kinda at a loss for words, but y'all got my mind reeling. So complex.

Virginia Hanna

You could fit 30 European countries within the United States... We can cross all state borders with absolutely no issues, no checks, no nothing. It's hard to compare our borders with yours. I imagine bouncing around the Russian border would get you held and looked into and not just by Russia. Heading North toward Canada (or South outta Canada) is less intense, but there aren't 2.2M ppl illegally immigrating from Canada into the US every year. It makes sense that the government would want to do a little research into characters illegally crossing the border, with freelance coyotes, claiming to be press. They prolly needed to get through the "paperwork" and add all sorts of tracking and whatnot to C5 crew members. Definitely on a watch list now.

Dallin Fewkes

Well, That wasn't the ending I was expecting. What a cliffhanger.

Jeremy Kasdin

I hear you but when I think about the future of journalism, decentralized journalism at that, I think a huge part of it will be integrity. Alot of the institutions we recieve media from today have no integrity leading to agendas and politicized content. Independent journalists like Andrew will have need to have an echelon of Tegridy in order to provide information superior to traditional outelts and more impactful, impormative, and un-biased reporting. I think it's fair to say Andrew has a fair bit of good 'ol tegridy about him. I would't put him in the same pot as a news outlet that lies to its viewers.

Milton

Amazing work. Crazy to see things from this perspective

Chase Easter

Incredible stuff. Just wow

Chase Easter

If the border patrol wasn’t there, I am really curious what would have happened with the $5K y’all owed those coyotes

Em and Jo Talk

Wow. America ain't ready for this one lol

Chris B

I feel like it's kind of obvious that illegally crossing the border is illegal.

Bin Ury

fr. also duh being a criminal human smuggler is easier than working a dishwashing job in san antonio

Adrian McBurnie

Holy shit what a journey. I can't imagine the panic realising this ain't no tour and you felt compelled to cross the Rio Grande rather than stay. YouTube is going to go wild for this. I am in Australia and really I should put some Patreon into Jordan Shanks as he is our equivalent kind of reporter except way more political. I just had to support Channel 5 first because it doesn't get more raw than this. Wow.

tj morrs

you guys do realize andrew will get off and now all the camera footage is intel for the operation smh

tj morrs

u mean have intel to a human smuggling operation

$5K USD is a lot of money to have you walk me right into the hands of border patrol

i think those freelancers were some amateurs that took him to a well known area and didn't really know what they were doing.

It’s bourbon st for me

Sicoby Bliss

?

Luke

So much of this stood out as phishy. The route they used is allegedly controlled by cartels, who they aren’t paying. First aid man just chilling at the border to “help” people cross safely and is teamed up with machete man. Then, the best place to cross was where a very clean cut gentleman (“Ernest Hemingway”) pulled his truck up to the river to fish. Im guessing all of the above are informants for one or more groups.

Julian Ruiz

man that's fucked up they sent you to solitary confinement over nothing. Keep up the work your stories are important to bring awareness and change to this world. God bless

Joakin Diaz Arancibia

they shouldve charged upfront. also that "5k" is so ambiguous. it can be 5k usd or pesos depending who you ripping off. if its pesos its realistic to think people would pay it; usd 5.000 its a lot of money for the impoverished latinamericas

felic

Greatest journalist alive rn

Justin Maxwell

wow this was amazing.

Hector P

Known* They* it’s not not 2000s anymore, they got heat sensors and motions detectors EVERYWHERE now, usually it’s only human trafficking or drugs smuggling nowadays

Liam Trippi

The entire episode I was thinking about how your mom would kill you if you didn’t die

Connor H

Thanks for pointing out how half the shit from legacy media are complete non issues used to divide people.i wish i could just shake these lead poisoned boomers and yell wake up!

Dr. Cool

I have a feeling that at any moment Andrew is going to admit he has become a red. And that's awesome.

Megan Ponder

you would leave us on a cliff hanger

jamie schicker

chanel 5 going above and beyond for this episode

Your mom was probably so pissed Andrew. Thank you for covering this side of immigration and not just the fear and panic coverage the country is so used to.

Cory Chea

The lesson they're teaching is punishment, nothing more...

Cory Chea

Yup. You're highlighting the difference of legitimate asylum seekers vs people coming in for economic opportunity

Cory Chea

Holy shit Andrew! I was wondering why you posted a video incriminating yourself, then the end made more sense lol.

Tim Hui

what the fuuuuu

Raul Maldonado

Glad you spoke on Housing Costs. Diverse Dense Housing is needed across the US, especially in SF and other larger cities #YIMBY

Donald

Wow never seen anything like this. You put your lives on the line to make this report, mad respect.

Dan Ridlon

Drug smuggling, human trafficking etc. I assume that would be the concern. I don't know what kind of legal troubles these immigrants face, I really hope our own citizens documenting this aren't treated worse then outsiders entering.

Wylcey Keep

Holy shit Channel 5 just keeps raising the bar. So much respect to you all for going through with this, every reporter in america needs to take notes.

Dylan Lee

Holy shit man

Dan Ridlon

You an absolute legend. You and your camera man. Appreciate you sacrificing some of your own freedom to bring us this side of the journey no one ever gets to see. Astonishing on so many levels. Can't wait for the next episode.

Maxim

Sam McGehee

Bald and Bankrupt did the Darien if you are interested in a POV perspective that is already online.

Joe Greene

Holy shit. This is insane. There's no one like you Andrew. Proud to be a supporter of this work.

Liam Hammers

Hey man, on the bright side the coyotes bailed so you don’t have to pay them anything, hopefully your legal fees or fines are less than what they wanted from you

John Doerr

the dude literally hired a coyote and was smuggled into the US in the interest of real/legit journalism. this man is an absolute gem.

Mr Riggs

DAMNNNNNNNNNNN, Talk about a cliff hanger.

rainbowdark

I sure hope he thoroughly explains how it all went / goes down

Calvin

Yup, exactly.

rainbowdark

CAN American journalists just pull that and walk away squeaky clean? Wild if true. Obviously he's putting out this content so he's out, but what legal repercussions will be faced? Dude might have just fucked his ability to leave and reenter the country. Enquiring minds want to know wtf happened!

rainbowdark

I don't see any link to it either.

Holden

Glad your safe doing gods work sorry you had to go through that dying to see the next episode. Glad your guides got away it's crazy they just expected you to cross but they're the same time they're like what's the point if not probably

Donald Hand

He is the realest journalist of our time and it ain’t close

David Ventura

Holy shit

OrangeHootie

What both of you guys seem to be getting at is the fact that being able to complain about the state of the US is a privilege and a first-world problem; you need to be well enough off so that your safety, your day-to-day livelihood, and the well being of your family are not a serious concern in order for you to worry about things like political divide. While it's true that we're probably selling an exaggerated image of ourselves to the rest of the world, it's very easy for people like us who can afford Patreon subscriptions (and those who make Patreon content) to forget that the US is still a pretty nice place.

Nat04

Oh shit wtf

This is crazy, man! Your work is truly admirable - and you must be the best and most real journalist in our time. Lots of greetings from Norway

spearpoint11

I hope the Patreon $$$ helps a bit with legal fees. It's really important work you're doing.

Eddy

You are somewhat right, when people are leaving their country due to political instability, America is heaven, but some people that come only care about making enough money to survive and send back to their countries to help their families, they aren’t even aware of the politics and divide in the country. It’s such a complicated topic

Alexander Möller

This is amazing work Andrew!

Eddy

This is real journalism. Thank you

Max

Free big Brody n em

Calvin

I think you’re a bit off when talking about the state of America. Compared to where these people are coming from, the US IS paradise. To have freedom of speech, political expression, and ability to move up economically is something that is legitimately illegal in many countries. Not the say the US doesn’t have issues. But I think you can get lost in a bubble of the political divides and extreme situations you are reporting on — those are the minority. I think it would be very interesting to go to the sanctuary cities where migrants have settled to interview them on their time in America

Stan K

I mean, outstanding content. Thank you for trusting your instincts, while putting your life at risk. I know a lot of us truly appreciate the footage. Best of luck C5

Oscar

Great work you are doing there. You should go to Darien and document that POV, which I believe it's 10 times harder than Texas and Arizona border crisis right now. Thousands of people crossing the most inhospitable jungle in the world by walking with kids and women, coyotes asking for money, rape cases, robbery, etc. And yes, as a Venezuelan I can tell you that the need of this people for a better life for them and their sons is stronger that anything and makes them do these decisions that looks irrational for US people, but you just don't understand how hard it is out there comparing to USA, even this 2024 USA is way better than most of the latin american countries right now.

Ah, yes, solitary. Not that I believe it's an ethical punishment ever, but why here in particular? What lesson is Border Patrol hoping to impart on a journalist of all people?

Luca Clark

I can't believe it's a federal crime... that really is ironic coming from the land of the free

Nolan Wilder

Holy shit. Absolutely amazing. So grateful to be supporting this type of work. Keep going!

Braelen Stevens

Can’t wait to hear the rest of this, your journalism always amazes me Andrew. You are never afraid to go the extra mile to let the story be known, even if it wasn’t your original plan. Hope that you weren’t punished federally for this.

Supreme_Skywalker

This explain his new appreciate for his House/Newroom 😂 You’re the GOAT of Modern Journalism

Excellent. Really apreciate the information asnd commentary re political and economic. status - you do a remarkable ob packing complerx information into a succinct presentation. The best I've seen. I wonder as well - who is telling these people all those fairy tales about paradise in America? Hope you take that on....

Ricardo de Cillo

And you didn't even cry like Taylor Lorenz

bas van den eijnden

This is pure, actual journalism at its finest! Very curious to hear more about your detention, you're lucky the footage survived, this gives a whole new perspective to the border 'debate'

Insane clips. Kinda funny that border patrol lets in hundreds of thousands of migrants but caught you two

Benjamin Allen

I see a lot of graphics in your videos that seem intended to support the facts stated in this video. As a viewer, your videos make me think critically and wants dive deeper and better understand the graphics. Would it be possible to have references for your graphics in chronological order and include the timestamps so I can look them up on my own time and better understand the research you do to create this content? Longtime fan, Ben Keep doing what you do! I’m specifically interested in the free press diagram shown at 3:26.

Gaius Nietzsche Patton

Wrong. Bald and Bankrupt started in Venezuela, crossed the Darien, and rode La Bestia, all while living exactly as the migrants do. However he, unlike Andrew, was smart enough not to illegally enter the US and get arrested by CBP.

Gaius Nietzsche Patton

Lmao he started in Venezuela, crossed the Darien AND rode La Bestia. Sorry but Andrew’s little sojourn a mile over the border doesn’t even compare. That’s just plain insulting to B&B

Leighton Kent

Best $8.50AUD I've ever spent. Insanely gutsy reporting. I'm honestly scared one day your channel will go on pause bc you're in jail or dead. Keep safe Channel 5

Justin Russell

Seth J Shy

That’s pretty cool

Ford Chandler

Someone already brought up Bald and Bankrupt- what you did here is probably more dangerous than anything he has done (besides the Darien). Glad you're okay!

wait so they lock up a US Citizen, a journalist at that, for crossing the border illegally ...which is bullshit that is even a law, as a citizen i should be able to walk back into my country.. but if you are an alien they give you a free bus ride and hotel stay in NYC ...hmm

Carson Barrett

Vibhav Gaur

Yo wtf

Honestly, journalistic intent should nullify that charge, how else would people be able to report firsthand on what is going on? What, would you send a letter to the border patrol, "I'm gonna cross illegally, for a story, so if you catch me, please don't charge me!"

Todd Cooper

the bit at 4:20 is very succinct

Gaius Nietzsche Patton

Lmao I really hope you weren’t actually ignorant and naive enough to believe that it’s not a federal crime to illegally enter the country even if you are a citizen. They’re called “legal ports of entry” for a reason. And people are going to say “well what about the illegal immigrants” but that’s where our broken system comes in and they can claim asylum from their shitty situations in their home countries; Andrew obviously can’t claim asylum and can’t play that broken system. This is one reason why when Bald and Bankrupt and Timmy did the journey from Venezuela through the Darien Gap and Mexico he stopped his journey at the border. Your coyote “friends” sure did you good, buddy.

Arham Nezami

Holy shit.

Jeremy Williams

Holy fuck this is insane that you actually crossed. Solitary confinement too?! What the fuck!!! Amazing coverage. Sorry you guys went through that but to show the perspective of what many folks go through is important! Glad you're safe C5 gang.

Kenny Thompson

I saw you used a clip of the Daytripper, he's actually a really good Texas YouTuber. Tells you the history of towns and the best spots in each town. I recommend him to anyone that lives in Texas

Andrew you are the literal goat. I’m surprised your balls of steel kept you afloat when you crossed.

Ricardo Carrillo Jr.

Absolute legend for this type of coverage

@KnickFury

Matt and Shane mentioned him on the last pod, have heard other pods also mention Ch. 5, but you are right that's about it. Andrew deserves way more recognition, this is legit boots on the ground gonzo journalism, that peak Vice News once achieved, before they got destroyed by cable news investments.

Joel Fernandez

That's absolutely fucking wild that they detained you and even put you in solitary. At the same time, it's not even surprising. I truly wonder whether USBP considers themselves agents of the law here, considering how far away their actions are from the spirit of the law.
