Tent camping and hiking with our family along the U.S. - Mexico border in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. What did we experience? Is this even safe?
Thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel and family!

We do have to assume life must be pretty horrible if they are willing to take whatever the risk. Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

This did not seem safe at all, you also sounded scared a few times, no way would I be by the border with my family, stay safe.

I traveled/camped all over the US as a girl (60 years ago!) and never had these worries. It’s a shame. This was sweetly nostalgic for me.

I live in Tucson Az in a community right near the border. We have 10 acres. We still do not lock our doors at night and there have been very few immigrants who have been on our property over the 30 years we have lived here. Where you were is rough terrain and not where there will be many crossings.

I'm with you. Especially if I'd just bought 7 acres of land in Virginia a month ago, as she says. I'd have no desire to even go there at this point in time. But that's just me, lol.

I lived in Brownsville,Tx in 93/94 crossing the border to party or going to dinner was normal. Now I live on the border in Germany and it takes me two minutes by foot to cross into the Netherlands and there has been no customs for a very long time. It is only the sign on the street the tells you that you are crossing borders.

You sound like me talking to my husband when we RVed. We almost entered Mexico at Del Rio and had to make the scariest u-turn in 35ft motor home towing a car. Almost turned over into a deep ravine. I was always telling him to slow down or turn around in what seemed like unsafe (for us). We did geocaching (if you’re not familiar, check it out) so we often got into some odd places.

We were stationed in Del Rio, Tx. Its hard for people who don’t live in a border town to understand what is a actually going on. Funny you showed the Rio Grande! It’s more like a creek in most places. Did you see the big tractor tires on the side of the road for border patrol?

The little camp you saw was a detention camp. That’s why they stopped at the headquarters. They keep immigrants who are caught in tent camps and then our government trafficks the children. I highly recommend the book “Once I Was You” by Maria Hinojosa

Just driving through the area doesn’t give you the big picture of what’s going on down here. I live 40 miles north of Nogales and it’s very peaceful and lovely to live here. But I do hear problems and see signs of illegals coming over. In a wonderful perfect world, it’s nice to see the majority of them coming here have a good intent. But unfortunately, the bad take advantage of the good every time. The bad are not coming through regular ports. They are sneaking in as criminals that are causing problems. And the bad are not sticking around by the border, they’re melding into cities where they can’t be identified 🤨

Well, considering the USA jumped the Mexican border…. Did you just cross the border illegally into Mexico just now there😅 Mexico is starting to require a passport to control illegal immigration into Mexico. They will have to start paying taxes too, something that people did not do in the past. Mexico is has beautiful, desserts, mountains, oceans.

When folks start talking about illegal immigration in a land that used to belong to native Americans and Mexico, bite your tongue or go back to Europe where your ancestors are from. Mmmkay? YOUR European ancestors came through and want to close the door behind them. When I go to reservation towns it becomes abundantly clear who are the REAL immigrants here. So knock it off

​@@amydecker6207The US government has one mandate, and that is to protect and defend US citizens. The number of migrants and the amount of fentanyl being smuggled through the border by cartels is putting Americans in danger - 100,000 plus are dying each year. In addition, companies like Tyson are laying off American workers and hiring illegal immigrants. We also have known terrorists coming through the open border. Then we have the crisis of children being used over and over again by coyotes. The children are drugged to keep them quiet. There was a video of border patrol agents crying because they could not stop the children, who were not with their parents, from being smuggled into the US. There has been testimony that at least 87,000 children are missing. We have lost track of them. So, the situation is very serious and is a danger to everyone.

Which administration? This has been happening for decades. There is a bipartisan bill in Congress addressing this issue but Speaker Johnson won't allow it to be introduced. The 'Do nothing' House of Representatives!
@annajones1396
@annajones1396 6 месяцев назад
@@lray7421 Biden was the one who literally declared to the world that the border is open and invited them in. At this point it's beyond partisan politics. Americans just need to be protected. Texas has been trying to stop it, but the Biden administration keeps acting against Texas. This even goes beyond US politics. It's a UN operation, hence an invasion.
