Border Patrol: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) 

Ethan Plague but with 50% people failing, that's still a terrible sign.

Very true

In the video Oliver refers to it being used as a placebo effect, basically spooking people into being truthful.

Guys chill out.

I had a girlfriend who would dab like.. constantly. You could multiply that number to get her daily intake and the wax she smoked was fucking potent, like even some of her friends were like I don't know how the fuck lol I'm talkin a shotgunned a rip off her and had a "arms-around-my-knees-to-my-chest-on-the-bathroom-floor-Kim K.-style-ugly-face-crying" type total meltdown.

58 on 1-26-19 Now, let's talk about Patriots...the ones who defended their beautiful lands against an invading force of illegal immigrants that had far superior weapons and, in the end, far superior numbers. A group of patriots who had lived in a relative paradise for 10.000 years before the invading force ever thought of leaving its home lands in search of MORE. Yup, those of you who have had a history class have probably realized that I am speaking of the 500 nations of Native Americans that were the victims of nothing short of genocide during episodes like "The Trail of Tears". Now for double-down patriotism and bravery...the "Code Talkers" of WWII. There were patriots from 16 different Native American nations in this program, (you hear mainly of the Navaho) and they served in all theatres of the war. They created a code using their native languages that was never broken by the enemy...and they had front-line positions as it was they who gave tactical information to those troops that were in the thick of battle. But, yeah, John Oliver is doing OK too...in trying to hold up a mirror to show us how stupid 37% of America looks these days...a bit different sort of Patriotism.

Very well said

!Bravo! XD

Those "don't speak Mexican in my country" so-called "patriots"' would have their heads explode meeting one of those Border Patrol fellers at a barbecue. "Thanks for what you do to protect our country, friend." "De nada!" "Excuse ME????!" I feel like some Americans are distinctly uncomfortable with the idea that they live on Mexican and Indian land. Like if they can make everyone speak English then they won't have to think about it.

Omg you’re so right

one mind boggling fact about the Spanish language is that the United States has more Spanish speakers than every other country on earth except for Mexico. that means that we have more Spanish speakers here than there are in Spain, which the language is named after. As there is no official language in the USA, Spanish is essentially the secondary language in this country

I live in El Paso which has the greatest percentage of Spanish speakers out of any city in the USA at 70% of our population. if you lived in my city you would not find it to be an uncommon experience to have to order your food or whatever in spanish. In fact, it's common to hear "wow, you live in El Paso and you don't speak Spanish?" it's considered the norm here to be able to speak and understand spanish

An odd coincidence that a Border Patrol man plays a game that has "Run Escape" in its name. In all seriousness, im not too surprised. Boredom is one of the worst parts of any job. People have to find ways to keep themselves entertained, otherwise they quickly come to resent the job.

Dustin Johnson Great now every time I hear Runescape all I'll hear is Run Escape.

Dustin Johnson haha. Good catch!

John Wedig I'm liking this not just because of the story, but also because of the excellent nickname: "Death Metal von Shoot-a-Man"

John Wedig chinese crossing through mexico is a thing, tho most get in through sea, ships.

"Death Metal von Shoot-a-Man" is hilarious, up vote for that. But in all seriousness that is probably a symptom of what happens when you're not careful about who you're hiring. That agent sounds like he needed to get another job. Unsettling story for sure.

Chinese crossing through Mexico? Huh? Most are just going to use tourist visas and overstay because the vast majority of Chinese nationals are coming to the US with tourist or student visas.

But that'll make it harder to brutalize them

They already know their people if they're that worried about being brutalized all they have to do is not cross the border illegally go to a legal Port of Entry not give thousands of dollars to criminal organizations to smuggle them across the border.

The year trump gets re elected

Griffin Monte OK the polygraph is bad, but it's not that bad. If you're afraid of the polygraph then you'll also fail the base questions that must be a yes, and they'll know it won't work. It's not like they assume you're always lying.

Griffin Monte I think the point he was trying to make is that the Border Patrol stopped vetting employees the way they normally do to meet the hiring policy. I don't think he was trying to say that the polygraph test specifically needs to be there, he was just using it as an example to show how the policy affected their hiring standards.

Godminnette2 Dude the polygraph test doesn't work. There is no scientific paper that has ever confirmed it. Even our courts don't allow it in there because it doesn't work. Hell most serial killers and hardened gang killers would easily pass the polygraph tests. Stop peddling pseudoscience.

Griffin Monte i believe i heard somewhere that a lot of the time people tend to tell the truth when being administered a polygraph even when it incriminates them.

Griffin Monte they don't use it to actually see if people are lying, they use it because people being monitored by a polygraph are less likely to lie if they believe it works. The point is that they confessed to crimes out of fear of being caught lying. They don't actually pay attention to what the polygraph says, they just use it as motivation not to lie.

Wow. That is an incredible story. Not sure if I believe it or not but it's probably true. Shit like that happens once in a while I'm sure but I think her story is rather unique.

Only in America.

ICE has only been around for 16 years, since March 1, 2003.

@@muscularcatholicism What does that have to do with propaganda?

@@BUSTRCHERRI Unique? One in a while? You're kidding right. It's not just ICE or border control but even other law enforcement groups like local police they're infamous for their poor vetting in many cases and there's a plethora of evidence of the poor hiring in the border-related enforcement in particular. Sorry bud but that's reality.

Kinda goes to show the point that hiring methods should be improved.

It doesn't work, but it seems some people here admitted to crimes, so it at least had some use

"Anyone" can cheat it, the vast majority don't. You don't put a lock on your front door to keep out a determined minority of criminals, you put it there to keep out the more opportunistic less dedicated majority of criminals. Same applies with polygraphs, yes a mastermind can beat it, but mostly criminals are just folks.

True, but the problem is you also get a lot of false positives.

I think the point is that most don't know it's unreliable. So you can with maybe some cold reading probably get people to confess to most things. Maybe just for the sake of this video the team at the show wanted to keep it that way or they figured they didn't have time to really go into detail about it and explain its short commings. That could almost be an episode in itself.

*Nigel Van Suspicious Salmon* It’s a year late, but I gotta give my hot take. Generally speaking, polygraph tests seem to be reliable enough. Can they be trusted beyond a reasonable doubt? Absolutely no way: they should never be admissible in any criminal justice setting. But can they be trusted enough to screen for psychopaths on a job application? It appears so

I suspect that a large part of why polygraph tests are useful is because they worry people. Make a suspect uneasy about a 'truth-machine', and they're more likely to let something slip.

@@Kyle_Schaff one of the major problems shown with the polygraph test is the fact that psychopaths can lie their way through it simply by convincing themselves that they are not lying to not raise they're heartrate. Theres also the problem of false positives because people tend to become nervous when subjected to polygraphs. The primary problem, to me, with the polygraph test is that it is a tool of coercion and many people take the results of it too seriously. Just my take on it

*Dillon Schickel* I just don’t think that a problem of psychopathy exists here. The disorder is so rare, and I don’t think that psychopaths would be attracted to such a boring job. I also think that it could be a useful tool if we were honest about its faults/shortcomings to ourselves and those being tested. That it’s a useful indicator but can never give concrete results. If our barrier for what tests can be used is nothing less than certainty, nothing can be used to screen people. I can accept the system’s faults since its use has been demonstrated to be much better at preventing bad actors than it not being used at all.

It absolutely doesn't WORK, but on the other hand, the sheer belief that it DOES probably goes a way to ensuring more honesty DURING a polygraph test.

And with nore research. I've grown disillusioned with Adam Ruins Everything. There's often very little nuance or deep dives like this show has. It seems like they just go with the story just below the surface, then move on to the next topic.

@@jpheitman1 true but to be fair, this has about 25 minutes to go in depth with a single topic while adam ruins everything has to cram multiple topics into a similar time frame

While results from polygraphs aren't all that accurate, they are often quite effective at getting people to be truthful about things they otherwise might not be, thus they are somewhat effective in interviews. Of course they should never be used as evidence in the judicial system

Waldo Yeah who the hell cares about accuracy? You fucking worthless rotten shit.

Polygraphs should be used by the person using it, only if that person doesn't know that they are bullshit. Case n point the guy who said was incredible if he committed any crime during his 3 hour blackout.

I thought he had... someone did. Was it Adam Ruins Everything?

+TheDwarvenDefender bad enough to be a good pun xD

No, the ineptitude of the polygraph is absolutely a point that needs to be made. John explicitly expressed concerns in the possibility of shortening the polygraph, which means he believes it's a valuable tool; which it ISN'T. It doesn't happen often, but Last Week Tonight is spreading false information here and it absolutely should be addressed if people are actually getting behind it. Furthermore, the idea of supporting the polygraph because "look at what they admitted to while under the impression that it's accurate" is so obviously flawed. That means that it's a useful tool for coercion when the person being tested is misinformed into believing it works; which means beating it is simply a matter of keeping calm, which obviously means none of it's results can be trusted. You are an idiot. A really, really, unforgivably dumb person, and your presence has clear negative influence on other people. Take a break from speaking your mind, and take some time to actually develop it first.

Claiming the polygraph isn't the point is like claiming the falseness of psychics isn't the point despite being shown their foresight is totally bogus.

Even assuming the polygraph is useless...if one could make the argument that the potential positive consequences of it outweigh any negatives... what's the harm in keeping it? (I really don't care, just seems like a weird thing to obsess over.)

​@@ninaasf-ck If polygraphs were just used to bluff people into a confession of crime, that would be one thing. I'd still argue there are probably better ways to get confessions out of people, but that's not the point. The point is that these recruiters actually believe in the polygraph themselves. People can be hired or rejected based on their polygraph results even though, as mentioned, the polygraph is deeply flawed.

@@modothegreat108 then I guess the real question here is: what does it say about the people that organization has hired if the recruiters believe the polygraph is infallible, and who would want to work for such an organization? (This is semi-rhetorical in that the entire point of this episode is to illustrate there's a lot wrong in these govt/public service organizations, polygraph notwithstanding.)

I see a John Oliver video. I say "FUCK it's monday already"

Correct

The polygraph can't tell, if someone is lying and because of that this is no longer its main purpose. But people often confess under a polygraph just because of the stressful situation and because they think the polygraph would find out, that they are lying. Like you also saw in the few examples in the video.

In fack polygraph has a 90 to 95 % of being right and the only reason it doesnt get used in courts is that 5 Or 10 is too much of a risk in a single persons life but in this large numbers if only 90 percent of them did shit it is still the same

Completely agree

No, not weird at all. As mentioned in the video, many agents have itchy trigger fingers and a disregard for who they scratch it on.

I honestly wonder how anyone can see fault in his argument here, why shouldn't we hire quality people who are not corrupt to serve on the boarder and why should we cut training for them? Still it's nice to see someone from the other side actually listening instead of outright dismissing it. Kudos!

fer04i You are part of the problem, you are why trump has as many supporters as he does, because us Liberals are only good at the shaming of people. This person could vote for whoever he pleases, he could have voted along party lines, or he could have agreed with trump policy, he could have been helped by trump in the past, or he saw trump as being more charismatic. Regardless us liberals will continue to lose if we ridiculously insult people for no good reason.

+fer04i You have no idea what you're talking about. ""Party before Country" No, the reason Trump is in the whitehouse is 100% due to the left. People are sick and tired of being called racist pieces of shit (literally those exact words) because they don't agree with some liberal policy. Believe in voter ID? Racist piece of shit. Believe in regulating entry? Racist piece of shit. Don't believe in the glass ceiling because the way they obtained the numbers was skewed? SEXIST piece of shit. If you end up not agreeing with Liberal agenda then you end up getting defamed & brought down in public humiliation. Trump was the anti-establishment, he didn't represent ANY of that bullshit. THAT is why he got elected. It had nothing to do with "party before country" or any other fun quips you might have. It has to do with people running with their vote from an oppressive group. gamerboy said it best, you are the reason, because people only want to publicly shame, and most of them are liberals. So when faced with an ever-tightening society of PC culture where you're publicly humiliated for disagreeing, of course the person who represented the anti-establishment won...

I've used the name Benji Vulao for several years now. It's an anagram of my main alias but I suppose it sounds vaguely Hispanic because, *just since the election* , I've been told I should be deported upwards of 10 times. One guess which party these people ascribed to, which they had readily admitted to in the _conversation_ or confidently alluded to in the majority of cases. I also struggle to see how this is not somehow racially motivated. I think a lot of Republicans completely fail to understand the liberal POV on immigration and we don't do ourselves justice by not elucidating it. We haven't had a serious attack related to border crossing. We have CIA, FBI, NSA, border patrol, basically surveillance beyond our knowledge monitoring the border, not that it cannot be made stronger, but I think many people fail to understand the surveillance systems we have in play, which I won't discuss because I don't want a knock on my door. One good example, however: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_Aerostat_Radar_System More lives are torn apart by deportation than by crossers. Yes, there are rapes. But we have a criminal justice system to handle that and these (few, actually) people that commit rapes cannot be sent back to Mexico, they have to stay here and serve their time. So we are EFFECTIVELY keeping all the bad people and sending many of the _good_ people out. Of course, these people aren't actually _good_ because they're here "illegally" so there is really no reasoning with someone that holds such logic. These same people will swear up and down they are model citizens that have never jaywalked or gotten a speeding ticket. I find it VERY HYPOCRITICAL that conservatives are quick to address the cost to reward benefit on border security EVERY TIME THE ISSUE IS MENTIONED, yet these same people don't want to even discuss the cost to reward benefit for gun control versus self-defense. I have no real opinion on gun control and don't want to actually discuss it, but still.. I find this hypocritical. And you can pretty much count on conservatives to have an unsolicited opinion ON EVERYTHING. An article about Miley Cyrus will be filled with their millennial despise. It is some form of psychotherapy for them, I guess. But the problem is that if they could push a button they would FORCE people to stop listening to Miley Cyrus because it's "bad for America". Nevermind their own anti-intellectualism. I guess conservatives really believe they should be able to say anything they want without eliciting any sort of counter-argument. They seem incredulous at any riposte. "How dare you judge.. our judgement!" What you call "shame" is ONLY that and which the moral majority projected upon us for years. But it was actually much more than that because people's rights were infringed upon, which should not occur in any free society. So, if you feel shame, I'm certain there is some article about the Kardashians for you to opine about. Feel lucky that you were never FORCED you to dress like them.

Channel for Positivity l Understanding l Justice Vigilance is important. Needless to say Border Patrol needs to purge some people off the list in order to evolve into the force that it needs to be to guard our national borders. But just because the chances of direct action are rare does not mean you should you should slip in your quality of vigilance. There is a reason why the ads for recruitment have a martial and vigilant look to them. Because the quality of those rare moments of direct action are the make and break line between success or failure as a potential agent since they are meat and potatoes of the raison d'etre of the Border Patrol exists in the first place.
