I recently got suggested this topic on YouTube and came across this guy. He is Greek and decides to do the trek along other immigrants and it’s just interesting seeing this stuff with no filter.
I watched Bald and Bankrupts version (they travel together for this video) and it was very harrowing and interesting. Highly recommend.
Just wait until climate change starts making things like fresh water hard to come by in many parts of the world.
Yes, it is very sad. When I talked to a lady who had made the trek, she told me she was coming here for a better life. I didn't say anything to her but I just thought: There is no better life here.
The American dream may be over, but better is relative; there are widespread foot shortages and rampant violence in Venezuela. We have a lot of problems but at the end of the day, you’re eating and not you won’t get murdered by organised crime, so..
Umm, yes you can and no you are not guaranteed a meal at all here in the states. They treat immigrants like shit and if Trump wins it's about to get way more hellish
Have you seen what it's like in El Salvador?
I've had uber drivers from somalia that had their family murdered.
Okay?
Some people come here for a better life and get it.
mmmmk
Its not sad we need a wall. Just got out of prison cant pass a background check in columbia anymore? Emigrate
Your premise is different from mine (needing a wall). (friendly correction:You spelled the country wrong.)
