I Was Detained on the American Border (Terrifying Experience) 

Sorry for the stress. Welcome to the states:)

So sorry Eva. Texas is the armpit of the U.S.. Hopefully the rest of your trip through the U.S. will be fun, safe and amazing. With love, a grandmother in Oregon.

I love u eva I'm following your adventure From Morocco , Stay safe and good luck ,

'the ''welcome'' à la americanos.....thanks no...prefere Europe 100% ...

Primy and his family were really friendly and hospitable

I've done a lot of traveling in Latin America and the Hispanic people have been absolutely amazingly hospitable. Even in the American Southwest, they're the same way and will treat you like family.

'Primi' is slang for cousin in some circles in Mexico

@@misterretsim9851 I done a lot of work down in Brazil and some times after being off shore I'll have a day or two by the shop to help train local guys. I always end up try to stay with a family if I can, cause they take such good care of you. That and I think a few where trying to marry me off to daughters and family back than (was much younger than now). lol

no, they just want women

100% and the stamps on her pass port from Pakistan and Iraq didn't help!

Yep, you are right. I bet it was the crossing she used. Even if they detained her and searched they probably would have treated her with more respect instead of like a suspect. Eagles Pass/ Piedras Negras is safe too.

She is only talking and forcing about handcuffing but not talking about those fingers which enter in her body, totally strange this is what happened in USA when you are coming from Pakistan, even you are a white girl, and have tons of subscribers, fans, famous. Now think what they do to Pakistani peoples who go out there? But you don't talk about that insult which you have gone through there, but if something happened hare with you, you bring the storm to against our country

@@MuhammadZeshan Cavity searches at the border are not that uncommon because of the number of mules carrying dope, in both the stomach and body cavities.

Yeah God Forbid the USA would try to protect its border. It's a free for all, by design. What other country has a wide open, unenforced border, just for illegal crossers? Her mistake was trying to be law abiding. You get punished for that in the USA.

"Always be aware of your surroundings." That is the ONLY thing I would make sure to say to my daughter whenever she left the house. It has served her well and now that she's all grown up it still remains in her mind. Any parent who plants this knowledge is giving the best advice indeed. I can't vouch for the rest of what we might say, of course, but we work with what we've got, eh?

At a Walmart no less

I thought the same thing when she was in the Mexican parking lot!!

"Don't relax so much" is literally the worst advice you could possibly give someone XD

​@@sandercohen5543depends on the circumstances. In some it is the only reasonable advice to give.

Dosent matter she just got lucky theres alot of cartel checkpoints in Mexico

When she said that family got chased by what were likely 'organ traffickers' I went cold all over. That people actually exist like this. That is one of the most sad things I've ever thought about.

@@adipsous Wow she exposed the Americans!!!! She talks about what evils they did to her . They hand cuffed her

@@adipsous The Chinese are into that . Has it even been stopped ...

@@AK4974U ikr, when she said didn't feel unsafe despite being told the world is scary I couldn't help but think how lucky she is being a caucasian foreigner in Mexico and not had any problems traveling by herself.

That's why in this case tbh I well understand the police. Unluckly she was unluck. I understand, I don't know, if it was happened in Usa but it is a border... I completely understand police. Is like here in Europe with terrorists. Police cannot know, they cannot say "this is a real famous youtuber" 1 because people could pretend to be it 2 because it is unfair. Yeah, that's what I think was happened. She was just unluck.

Right? How is she alive? When I did that with two little blond blue eyed girls they took my girls because we didnt have visas or passports/anything. Patrol handcuffed me and I had to call for help in USA. Going from CA to mexico no problem but coming back- No Way. When I was a kid 1960s we lived in Mexico & went bk & forth all the time. Now - Hell NO

Yah American border guards can be assholes.

That is NOT THE BORDER PATROL, that is Customs and Border Protection OFO (Office of Field Operations). Please do not mix up (USBP) United States Border Patrol who wear olive green uniforms and are the ones that Patrol the lands between the ports of entry versus the CBP OFO who wear blueish black uniforms and are the ones encountered by Eva Zu Beck working the points of entry into the US.

@@GilliganMGCrebs USBP is no better. There's thousands of videos of them online pulling people over around borders pulling the same bullshit. They have virtually unchecked authority, one of the most tyrannical law enforcement agencies in this country.

Well, a lot of people who are trying to get in the country illegally will pretend to be veterans and end up actually pulling it off. I'm guessing something might have happened, and now they have to be extra careful. That might be why that happened to you.

I mean, I'm not from the US so its kinda not my business, but just because you have a veteran card you shouldn't get a pass in every situation automatically. Not because you don't deserve respect for your service, but because there are veterans who are still bad people unfortunately.

Yes exactly! It's disgusting and honestly I am not surprised. She's been to Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, Siberia and on and on I don't ever remember anything remotely like this B💩 from the USA border guards. I was born in this country and lived here most of my life apart from 11 years in the Alps where I started to see this country with a clarity I'd not had before. Why couldn't they have just checked on her RU-vid channel to verify?!? Such a terrifying experience for her.

If she would’ve got just a bit more tan and acted like an illegal invader from Central America or Mexico, she could’ve just walked through the California side of the border with no restrictions and received a cell phone courtesy of the Biden administration with the taxpayers paying for it. 👍🏼

@@donnawoodward3163 9/11 and the Boston Marathon really changed the borders, spent my summers at a family cabin in Ontario and used to take 4H and School field trips to Manitoba Canada when I was a kid. Been stopped and searched going to and from the cabin this way by both US and Canadian Border Gaurds. Look at it threw their eyes, they're looking for potential spies and terrorists and she checks multiple boxes that could potentially be a cause of concern. Trips to high alert countries, a RU-vidr/Patreon income, a Vegan entering Texas etc. It sucks and she would have been fine if she entered into California illegally, they'd have given her the government handouts guidebook and asked her to vote for whatever Democrats are running. God bless America where if you try do things right you're treated like a criminal and if you do things illegally you're welcomed with open arms and a gift basket. Having a vehicle full of camping equipment will get you searched quite frequently crossing US borders

@@donnawoodward3163 Look at her RU-vid Channel? That's your idea for vetting people at the border? Glad you're not in charge of border security.

Obviously, you have never traveled.

The cost of gasoline is not good these days, true story. Back in 1970 I had the first Honda cars sedan, with an air-cooled engine. Anyways, I drove from Fort Worth, Texas to Los Angles and then visited friends and then drove back. The cost of my gas for the actual travel from Fort Worth, TX to LA and back cost me about twenty bucks. Man, have times changed.

How do we financially support your journey. Especially if you are doing this FT

Brave, or extremely foolish?

@@828enigma6 How can it be foolish if you don't know it better? In Europe, there are no dangerous borders. And obviously, she has already been in more dangerous countries than Mexico.

@@828enigma6 Women have no sense of danger, the head is up in the clouds all the time...

@@mukavelli Stop f'in generalizing, dude. You don't know all women. 🙄

@@smlorrin He's right though, unfortunately we give everyone the benefit of the doubt. More woman go missing while traveling with other woman than men go missing traveling alone.

I had a similar experience going to Canada from America at international falls on a fishing trip crossing into Canada and there even worse than the us. So besides the search and alll the bs one guy in our group had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in Wisconsin a couple months prior and Canada knew that and would not let him in. we crossed at three in the morning Canada said there was a small possibility they would let our friend in but they have to wait till nine in the morning. The supervisor came in and then it would be up to his discretion whether my friend get in or not. So to and our group stayed back in international Falls in one car, and the rest of us moved onto our fishing destinations. Upon speaking to a supervisor at 9 AM the supervisor decided that they would let my friend across the border to go fishing but he had to pay a $250 fine so he paid the fine, and he asked the supervisor what would happen in the future and the supervisor indicated that if he came back to Canada in the next five years the same process could happen again, and a different supervisor could reject him altogether. So Canada isn’t any better than US in fact are much worse, but somehow they have this reputation that they don’t deserve. Every time we caught crossed into the United States they just seem to be worried about once we told them we were fishing. How many fish did you have? How big were they? What kind of fish do you have and a couple of times we got our coolers surged, and one time one of our grove got busted and we had a pathfinder. I’d be interested to know what you think about this.

Sorry I use speech to text so some of the sentences don’t make sense

she is a fake

Yep, this is most likely why.

Meanwhile, illegals come willy-nilly 🤦‍♂️

@@TowGunner 99% of illegals don’t go through customs.

@@saga5924 maybe your attitude towards others is why you have no friends

@@saga5924 Man the air must be pretty thin so high on that horse.

It may have been that, but i wonder if she just chose the wrong word to answer a question, or looked at them crosseyed. Not saying its Eva's fault, but something during the interaction probably escalated this. Possibly when she got impatient with them, who knows.

@@dennisl6198 Bullshit! Even if she had complained, why do these trigger-happy Yanks always try to show their "Rambo" side! They are bullies. Explain how the U.S. border can't control hundreds of thousands of illegals from swarming unchecked into the country across the Southern border, but a young woman with easily checked credentials gets extensive hours-long harassment from some pig-bellied customs goons?! Your country is F'd up, having become global comic relief led by Biden and Harris along with the evil democratic party! So you know, those violent Hollywood movies are "Fiction", not reality!

@@dennisl6198 Being impatient is illegal?

How many idiots do you think come through the border with balloons of drugs inside them that are burst in total? So when you rock up and make a scene about how your friend needs medical help, that is the first thing I would think of as a border agent. Your not a victim because they did their job correctly.

@Dan, thats the falsest of statements. medical assistance is readily available at the border.

Why is the border so messed up? What's the reason?

@@bruttosporcoecattivo September 11, xenophobia, five decades of drug smuggling, human trafficking, drug lords, and gun running out of and into Mexico.

@@bruttosporcoecattivo Drug smuggling, human trafficking, Terrorism Even corpses have drugs stuffed in its bodies and smuggled across the border. but its Ironic the current administration just allows any illegal to cross the border without a hassle.

👍👍👍👍

You can only get a Global Entry/Nexus if you are a citizen or resident of Canada or the US. European tourist cannot get it

she is polish you know that right?

I drove to Montreal and Quebec from Burlington VT, I'm live in US, I didn't even show my passport. They waved us in to Canada at boarder. Maybe it was the VT licence plates. No idea? ❤️ 🇨🇦

They might do a random check.

Yup 🇨🇦

Don't you know that they are God's chosen people, far superior to humanity !!!

When i travelled to LA. the Border Guards at LAX was the unfriendliest and pissed off guys ive ever met in my life.

…REALLY…??? Could that be for having VERY POROUS borders? (I DON’T know…). EACH country protects its borders…OR, NOT…. After THIS episode, BE CAREFUL, have a great ADVENTURE…. 😃👍🏼👣

I'm an American, and before facial ID and TSA pre-check, they could be assholes to us as well...The two worst border crossings I have had have been going into and out of Windsor Canada. Once by an American thug and once by a Canadian thug. People who don't violate laws get the worst treatment.

Also sorry im late to the party! 😅

Laredo sucks

@@gooseegg7703 your mom sucks.

Omg that is so shocking!! 😢😢I don't understand how they can do this!! So sorry you went through that but WELL DONE for documenting it and writing a book!!! Everyone who experienced something similar should also document it - and it would help to change things, and possibly bring charges against those whom acted unlawfully. I will check out both. 💛💛💛

@@eg348 Thank you EG. It was unreal, I couldn’t believe what was happening? One minute I was a tourist having a lovely time in Mexico, the next I was being treated like a bank robber! Handcuffed, shackled, locked in a tiny overcrowded cell with 14 other women all squashed together on the floor covered in tin foil blankets that looked like body bags! And that was only the beginning. What Eva went through was the tip of the iceberg, but still very shocked and traumatic. They seem to treat people as though they are guilty of a crime, until they find out they’re innocent, then they let them go, as if nothing happened! I still have nightmares. Hopefully the more people who share their stories, it will help to spread awareness.

One simple, logical question an American border guard can ask himself is whether a person who want to do bad for America will present himself with a valid passport and visa to a border guard? Such bad people will try to sneak in by various other methods.

Wow I am so sorry for this! 😣

Hi Dee Lee Rambles 😊💗💗💗 I'm only seeing your reply now! After I read your first comment I went straight to your channel and found your video about it m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j-6vUy6k0dM.html I was so shocked I wanted to know more so I actually just bought your book online 💗💗💗 and I was just coming back to Eva's video, to post the link to yours under your comment, for anyone else who may want to know more, when I saw your reply! 😊 God Bless you and heal you from that awful experience it's no wonder you are still having nightmares!!! But you came through it and you took back your power back by documenting your experience!!! Well done for your courage and strength!!! You are an inspiration!!! Love, Hugs and Many Blessings to You Dee Lee!!! 💜💜💜💗💗💗💛💛💛💗💗💗💜💜💜

Wow my fiance is from Palestine texas:)

Interesting. I'm American and did not know this. Thanks for sharing. I'm in Michigan and have spent the majority of my time in crossing borders into Canada.

I heard US Border Patrol has jurisdiction within 100 miles of the border, not 5.

@@jeffs4483 This is correct.

@@midwestlakelife Canadian border isn't as bad as the Mexican.

@@VL1975 Canada is a basically a massive security checkpoint in itself. Huge country, sparse population, separated from other countries by rough and frigid arctic waters, massive tundras mountains and forests between each city, but still has modern airports and security checkpoints. Probably THE most intense bottleneck security check, is just the vastness of it.

In the 80's I crossed into Canada on the interstate, answered about 4 questions, and was in. On the way back, I came down through Quebec into Maine on a small secondary road. It was a nice slow day at the tiny 2-lane border station, and I got THE WORKS. Checked every square inch of my car.

Yeah literally Canadian customs treats Americans better than actual American customs. Hell, I've been to Russia, they didn't even give me any issues

Yeah it's amazing, the US staff has really nothing to do all day long but harass people who just want to get through the border and on their way. Out of all the trips to other countries that I've ever had, and there have been many, they almost universally are a severe pain in the ass. I think they just have nothing better to do.

Same here. Never had any issue going into another country. Coming back into the USA was always hit or miss. Sometimes easy, sometimes they were jerks.

My experiences are similar. I've made many back and forth crossings between the US, Canada and Mexico going back to the 1970s when border politics wasn't as politically charged. My most difficult experiences have always come trying to get back to the US, and to my great surprise, I had more problems crossing back into my homeland from Canada than from Mexico.

hello there

She was sexually violated, it’s as simple as that.

I guess it is time for a young person like yourself to begin to realize that even tho you see your life through the lens of your own experience and good intentions, Border Patrol has seen SO MANY folks who Seem to be Just Like You, who are INFINITELY DIFFERENT than you!

Many years ago when I was a student, I was moving from Michigan to Boston, and made the incredibly wrong decision to cross into Canada at Windsor and come out at Niagara, with everything I owned packed into my car. I had the whole “take everything out of the car” inspection at both border crossings. No handcuffs, though.

It's been maybe 7 years since I visited Vancouver, BC. I bet the situation wasn't as bad then, but I did notice going into Canada was a lot simpler than going back to the U.S.

I’ve crossed into Canada at two different locations without seeing any border patrol on both sides. Coming from Mexico, the US border patrol held me for two hours because I was driving a car with Mexican license plates. Finally a supervisor showed up, looked at my passport and told the agent: Did you look at his passport? Response: Yes, he is a US citizen in a Mexican car. Look again! Where was the passport issued? US embassy, Mexico City What is his address? - - - Mexico City So if he lives in Mexico, do you think he’s going to have American license plates. I EVEN SHOWED HIM MY MEXICAN DRIVERS LICENSE! Pobre pendejo

@@wz7285 Okay, I get that perspective and have always tried to see the bigger picture. However, considering he said going INTO Canada was a much different experience, you have to assume that both sides being equal the assumption should be the same.. It's not easy to get into Canada, even a DUI and you've gotta go through a plethora of steps to even get visa.. Borders work two ways..

Same here! The Texas video got me hooked!

Same - I'm here because of the Texas suggestion! Those darn algorithms...lol!

😊😊same😊😊

@@Apoll024 Watch the Middle East portions and the cargo ship. This woman knows no fear.

The border crossing was excessive, but it was because of 9/11 that happened in the US that caused our borders to be extra precaution. Other then that, I'm glad she had gotten through safely and is onto the next adventure!!

People (excluding drug and mafioso dealers) are lovely south of the border.

@@GM-cq6ez Clearly you DON'T mean "Primy the drug dealer," or "Primy the mafioso leader," correct? lol How about "People are TYPICALLY lovely south of the border" so that they're not confused with gun-wielding criminals?

Canada into Alaska, USA? It is the same schit. Passport, visa, proof of your existence documentation out the Ying Yang. I worked at a truck stop in the Border. It was hell getting into Alaska from there(before 9-11) Can only be worse now.

On a side note she's one pretty girl who likes to show skin. 😍🤩

more then ironic ...........honestly i will never visit such a country , not interested.

Such terrible country, terrible people.

And biden is president ! Just imagine if Trunp was still in charge !!

Exactly & everyone was saying mexico is dangerous

@@visionsbydean Being handcuffed for no reason is not JUST inconvenient, nor are you using "patrolled" in the right context. Violence and malice are better descriptions in this instance.

Be sure to do the Banff-Jasper highway. It’s on of the most spectacular in the world based on my travels throughout the planet.

I experience this, as well, when I fly back to the US from Europe as a US citizen. It's always jarring! Lol

You have to realize that a USCBP officer particularly in Texas has probably never heard of Poland and if he has it's probably from Fox News so it's not good. Helping Ukrainians, so probably Nazis.

If she was a Spanish speaking Illegal Alien, then she would've been invisible to the U.S. Border patrol... They have their orders to harass and antagonize American Citizens; and not the other way around...

Totally agree. Also middle aged white woman. Coming home to the US is always the scariest part of any trip I take.

People seem to forget the u.s relations with a lot of countries right now are extremely delicate. She had Arabic countries on her passport and was coming in through Mexico.those are massive red flags

@@Tampafan33 Yes no one else seems to be glad that they were so cautious with her. We have people from the middle east being paid by foreign governments like China to come to the US through the Mexican border. They have caught dozens in New Mexico where I'm from.

@@alvarnunez3215 Allegedly paid by China, Russia, Afghanistan, or Martians

are you sorry you had 250k wade across the river into your state?

Yes. She is not the only one!

I am a Texan and the sad reality is that thousands cross our borders legally and illegally daily. Many are traffickers. Texas communities have to worry Fentanyl, drug and human smugglers coming into our communities. The border control is OVERWHELMED and have an almost impossible job to do. It’s a sad reality. There aren’t that many taxing most other borders.

I mean, I can't really blame the caution on the border. That border has some dangerous stuff going on. They NEED to be careful I guess.

@@morningrosie3684 I was talking about experiences I had not on the Mexican border but the US airports. I was arriving as a visiting scientist with a J-1 visa and treated as a criminal. Thanks but no thanks. In the whole EU I can travel and work without using a passport (yes, it's true!). So I stopped working for the US institutions. As simple as that.

@@arctic_haze Yeah. I suppose. Everything with air travel went downhill after 9/11. Again, I can't really blame them though.

@@morningrosie3684 It is not about blaming but simply choice. Within the European Union, I can travel without a passport (and this is why I no longer have a valid one). During most air trips I took in recent years, I did not even have to show any ID. Sometimes I did have to scan it at an automatic border gate. I can legally work in all EU countries with no excessive paperwork. So why bother about the security obsessed Unites States?

This is the sort of hospitality that Republicans get off on.

Thank God it's stricter now. The number of illegals in the US is unsustainable and fks over the citizens here.

Doesn't make it right.

My dad lost his cool cuz as a Chinaman we were routinely picked for random security screenings at airports after 9/11. They would literally make us stand aside at the gates and search us again.
