Haitian Migrants Look For The American Dream In Mexico 

The irony is that you try to cross to the US and you realise that living in Mexico is better

There is no American dream anymore...

A good chunk of Haitian migrants also go to Canada because they can speak French. A good number of people that worked at the residence my grandparents lived in at the end of their lives were immigrants as they needed to be fluent.

Strange how Venezuelan cross over here in droves but Haitians cannot get here. I feel really bad.

I saw several videos of Asian and European migrants crossing into America and no one stopped them. But if the migrants have African ancestry then the world looks at them as wrong

I think the core of the problem starts at 3:59. The core problem is Haitians don’t have the economic means to support their journey and the language barrier , cultural differences is more significant than them being black. The solution is for us Haitians (yes I am Haitian) to fix our own country and build the economy to provide jobs for these people. We can’t just blame the hardships these people are facing just because they’re black. The reporter is herself black from a developed country with resources, I’m sure her experience would be different. The reporter is making it seems being black is a bad or inferior to others. Racism exist and discrimination has been proven but we can overcome this with money and resources to make Haiti great again!

The Barber looks and sounds like he is from the Carolina’s.

Pretty soon ..even Disney Will move to México.....

It’s like both the US and Mexico are doing the same thing but in different ways while blaming each other and pretending they hate each other like an old and bitter, married couple.

This documentary paints a completely different picture than what Haitians express on Mexican Videos and interviews. All the videos I see about Haitians in Spanish videos are of success, gratitude and perseverance and they always seem thankful of Mexicans organizations. There is a reason why they are coming to Mexico and leaving Brasil, Chile and Argentina in the thousands-- -because they are treated better in Mexico and because they are able to get jobs and assimilate.

Mexico is hard for a lot of people .. I don’t agree that because you’re black it’s automatically worse … I lived right by that fence in Tijuana.. life is tough for anyone trying to cross .. please stop with accusations of racism toward Mexico ..

Despite the unfortunate conditions in Haiti the USA has no obligation or responsibility for their conditions. USA has their own struggles and it does not need additional burdens. Many illegal immigrants begin to brake the laws and criticize the USA because they want the country to give them free services: food, housing, clothing, medical care, and cash. Americans have to work every day to have these services.

My heart hurts to see so much suffering. God bless them and protect them all!🙏🏼🙏🏼

The bottom-line is that, if you go to another country, you have to expect you will face discrimination and racism. You are an uninvited guest and you have no rights. That's the reality.

If they want to stay then they must abandon vudú and santería.

Tell them the dream is over. We're trying to move too!

In the next 100 years i bet...most of the western hemisphere will be the new Haiti. These people are everywhere people don't want you to be. If i was a Haitian i would never go somewhere I'm not wanted. I'm writing this while in Haiti.

As an African American man living in Tijuana, Mexico, colorism and Racism is very real.

IF YOU DONT LIME MEXICO GO BACK NOBODY INVITED YOU

But Mexico signed the U. N. Global Migration Pact in 2018. The USA did not. The Pact says a person can migrate anywhere (a Pact country) as long as they have an ID, and a purpose. That country should provide them shelter, education, a job, and healthcare. Many Haitians do well in TJ. They open businesses, get educated. I watched Oscar el bleu Ramirez channel years ago and he showed this.

EL SUEÑO AMERICANO ES TRSBAJAR ...NO VIVIR DEL GOBIERNO

Thanks a lot for lightening on the Haitian migrants problem! i admire the lady who founded Haitian Bridge Alliance! I appreciate their work to help those in the most need. We all in the US should be welcoming our neighbors brothers and sisters and do our best to support them to win for their lives and wellbeing.

people just cant seem to shake those primitive instincts that knee jerk reaction that causes people to be racist towards people who don't look or talk like them. I personally don't understand it. I've always been exited to learn about new people and new ways of thinking comes with being on the spectrum I suppose. In this age we have medieval institutions, godlike technology and Paleolithic instincts.

Venezuela and Mexico are the same we black people suffering everywhere.

In 2021, the U.S. Census estimated that 1,138,855 people of full or partial Haitian descent lived in the United States. the United States is home to a larger population of Haitians than Haiti itself. According to U.S. census estimates, in 2021 there were 1,017,586 Americans of Ukrainian descent representing 0.3% of the American population.

Excellent podcast

First time i see reporter with towel on her head.

they love the Haitian people in T.J...and they are respected and. given good lives-they came with nothing-if they start this story-it will not edify their hopes.

Wow, so they have to work hard in Mexico? Is it harder than Haiti though?

It's sad to see Haitians have to leave their home country, all the news I see talk about their migration journey, they never focused on what they can do themselves to help build their home country back up, or how other governments can help them better govern their country, so they can live happily in their culture. Haiti has a lot of potential Their problem is governance

As a mexican living at the US-Mexican border i can say that haitians are very hard working people., i have seen many in Tijuana, Mexicali region., in Monterrey Mexico where i was on month ago there are thousands., I can say they are adapating to mexico and basically they are facing the strugles of day by day challenges as any mexican would do, not because they are black, that has nothing to do in mexico.

It is not only Haitians and Central Americans, but also Cubans and Venezuelans who have a political, social and economic crisis that is happening there in those countries. But do not emigrate to Chile or the United States, Brazil, Canada, Peru and Mexico, those countries have many problems migrating to countries like Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Suriname, Costa Rica and Panama. Now there is a program so that migrants, when you show up at the border between the United States and Mexico, can apply or they can take you to go to Spain and Canada between those governments.

Mexico is too dangerous

I live in Haiti and i know so many people who have left everything to go to Mexico.

Nice to see Imaeyen still reporting for AJ+!

While it is true things are terrible in Haiti, running seems to lead to the same misery and death one thinks you are running from. To put one's precious life in the hands of a people who themselves have lost hope and are traveling across the US border is crazy. The saying goes, "You can't do the same things and expect change; that is called insanity." From Africa to Haiti and all poor people fighting for their lives around the world, the first world cares nothing for your suffering; only you do. Stay home and fight for a better future amongst yourselves; stop looking outwardly. There is more time than not; failure or a measure of abroad create your paradise at home. The bandits, rapists, and savages have merely changed faces. Their level of brutality only increases; stay home and fight the devil you know. Life is no dream; if you must, struggle for yourselves and future generations at home.

Not exactly cheaper, but it is less financially bureaucratic, unofficially. Meaning, big businesses have to register and pay taxes but minor transactions like used car sales between individuals and small businesses like a taco stand, go untaxed. The standard of living is low by US/European standards, but the standard needed to live healthy (not comfortably) is lower. Imagine if you can't afford to build your home to the legal standard in the US or or UK... Or you can't afford to buy municipal utilities... Then you don't get to have a house. The government will literally take it from you if you try to build it, without their permission. In some US states it's prohibited to collect rain water for consumption or not pay to have your home connected to the public works infrastructure. Not everyone is rich with larges cars/homes in the US/UK. Many survive on same wages as Latinos in towns that look WORST than many parts of Mexico. I understand why so many gringos move to your country. It's to expensive to be poor in the US.

Africa is beautiful and there is so much land available why don't they go there?🤔

Let them come to u.s.a. country. U.s.a. will help them, they have always help people. Come, come, come, come all to usa america they can hold all them.❤❤❤

Come to u.s.a.to america, come all to this nation. Come haitis come all.❤

Interesting documentary

What is black america doing to help this?

The reporter should learn how to pronounce the city of Tijuana. It’s “tee-wanna” and not “Tia Wanna”. With her pronunciation it sounds like she is referring to her Aunt Juana.

WE'RE ALL CATCHING HELL GET IN LINE

This is propaganda I’m in san ysidro and visit Tijuana on the weekends and the Haitian people are thriving.

Why don't the subs match?

Im not going to lie… a hike from brazil or chile al the way up here sounds adventurous a heck🤔

I don’t care what most Americans think. Anyone Willing to Brave those circumstances to get to The U.S. I’d allow them in. They will work hard and own businesses within a few years.

You can’t demand to be a country’s citizen there are legal routes that usually must be taken. If you choose to illegally migrant immediate jail shouldn’t be a surprise. If you have migrated and stayed in another country then asylum is not a legal option. Do they not understand the legal process? Or is it that they feign ignorance in hopes of mercy and charity

Why the CC translator is error?

Mis respetos para la comunidad haitiana en Tijuana. Son personas trabajadoras y respetan y personas así son bienvenidos en cuál quier parte . Ánimo!❤

Why don't they arrive in Belize or other countries first so as not to go through Darien?

Hagan la traducción de este video en español

Stop fleeing,and stay in your homeland!!!!!

Come on over and bring the barbecue! McDonald’s is so damn expensive now I could go for a nice blackened human flank steak

What is Erica Badhu doing in Mexico??

Noo Mexico havo no resources for its own citizens

I thought the Dominican was the racist with Haitin.

Rough road ahead

Now all of the sudden you guys do another video aside from Gaza. I’m surprised. I wonder why. I thought you guys would bring up Akira Toriyama since he died and because you brought up anime before in video, an ethnic group vid, or some other topic like the Gullah Geechee fighting for land.

Why are you exposing it?

stop pettying that.. there ate people living like that in mexico and in USA too.. its not just Haiti. There are people living in tents in USA

So let me get this straight, you left a dangerous country for a dangerous country? Great job. Stay there.

Smart (as I know our people of the diaspora are known to be)

Nou menm Ayisyen nou fèt pou nou soufri😢😢

😢 this is soo sad 😢😢😢 Mexicans being racist makes me sad because I’m Mexican and this is sad

Come into the country legally and you wouldn’t be facing these issues…

IM SO DESAPPOINTED AND ANGRY AGAINST AFRICAN UNION INACTIVE REGARDING THE HAITI CRISIS...

" Haitian Migrants Look For The American Dream In Mexico," Kinda says it all... Haitians are some of the few who are turned around, sometimes at the shore-line when they try to come here. Cubans are allowed to stay..... funny that.

Why wouldn't the Haitians go to the states that in Mexico that already have Black people

1:05 to 1:36 is the dark reality about blacks in Mexico.

We are not the poorest, tell that to the big Haitian politicians (SMH)

Leave America out of it

Wait til Trump comes s back Haitians coming back to Haiti lol

The American dream never existed what they talking about when they say there all nuts

We Mexicanos should be cool with the Haitinians man the Mexican economy it’s growing and more jobs are coming and I do really wish they give the haitinias a chance man not all of them are here to cause trouble some come to live the New Mexican or North American dream also some of them can become artist and create a new type of music so Mexico should give them a chance let’s not copy the US in their racist ways we better than this

when you will made a video aboutmigrants right in Katar, your home country with kafala_slavery syzstem?

America has an immigrant crisis, its good to see that people can settle in other Latin american countries and not invade

Haitians in Mexico are hard workers.

I rather live in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Look I’m all for immigration,but there needs to be some type of reformed immigration plan from the U.N or IMF to help build back the infrastructure in their own county so that they can stay put. America’s cup runneth over!!!!!!!!! America is Full!

Sorry the american dream died in the 70'S. People are moving to other countries, the US is becoming more like a nightmare in many aspects of daily life.

The depths of oppression & injustice in this world explains why God Almighty made Hell eternal & infinite.

Mexico is for real Mexicans indains

People are being killed in general and are not being killed for the color of your skin.

these people show up uninvited to méxico and are outraged when they face hostility. a lot more good would come from helping restore haiti than from hosting their population in foreign countries.

Quien se anima a criuzarnos por ahi?

🇲🇽💔😔

Propaganda

Always running from home🙄

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717354582 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-◖.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.،.😢😢😊😢😊😢😢😢

Its sad that Haitians have to go through all that. Haiti is like Hobbes state of nature right now and many cant go back there. Otherwise home is always better.

It’s not a color thing it’s a business opportunity to the cartel. Given the language and culture barriers they’re less likely to have a Latin Conect like most other Latino’s do. If they don’t other Latinos well share one with each other. Do to the bond they build while taking such a dangerous trip.

Hlo sister .....
