Показать описание
As thousands of migrants make their way toward the United States, many face a grueling 60-mile hike along the Colombia-Panama border through one of the world's most dangerous jungles. In 2021, Paola Ramos traveled to El Darién to meet with migrants facing robbery, rape and death on the road north.

This segment originally broadcast in March 2021.

I can only imagine how horrible your life must be, that you have to drag your child through the dark and dangerous jungle in hopes of a better life

They still believe in the American Dream . . .

Little do they know that they're walking into a nightmare

Most people think they break the law to seek a better life, but few realize they’re just trying to survive. For them, stopping or turning back only leads to death.

How utterly desperate does someone have to be to see this as an option?

These poor people, I hope they find a better life and can begin to heal from the trauma they've endured. Anyone looking at them with contempt is absolutely heartless and inhumane, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I work as a bus driver for a company called greyhound, and they made us all take a mandatory seminar that was pretty much a 4 hour lecture on how we will get fired if we refuse to drive a bus with the intent of "migrant dumping". We even had politicians get on stage telling us that we were the "Angels of America", but in reality, i feel guilty when i see a news report of migrants doing terrible things to american citizens.

I feel a responsibility to stand up and do something, but i know i will lose my retirement/pension if i do. Just last week a migrant urinated all over the inside of the bus I was driving because they were upset that they had to sit on the floor for the 4 hour ride (we were only 25 min in to the drive). We had another case were the migrants were "taking turns" on a woman while her husband collected money from everyone waiting their turn (this happened at the back of the bus where they had used bed sheets at the center of the bus to block the driver's veiw of what was happening back there.)

Im not suprised these people behave this way. A female driver once had to drive a "migrant bus" and she refused to do so after seeing that 2 children were visibly pregnant. She called the police, and ended up losing her job over it. When the children were interviewed, they said that they were in their 20's, even though they were somewhere between the ages of 8 to 12 (driver showed us a photo that she took). Un-suprisungly the motherbof the two girls was pregnant as well.

Drivers are left in the dark as to where the mgrants are being picked up. We usually have someone from management show up with a bus full of mgrants at the start of the 12am shift, then they hand it off to a regular greyhound driver who then drops them off at whatever location is set for them. Most of the time at a shelter, or desolate areas like Ocala Florida, upstate New York, New Jersey. Sometimes they would have a driver meet management at an off site location to pass the bus over to the regular bus driver, idk why. They're starting to have us drop them off in Philadelphia, but it's become dangerous to do so due to the situation over there. We've had a few recent cases where mgrants outright refused to leave to bus because they were unsatisfied with the drop off location. Believe it or not, a lot of them have recently claimed that they were promised to be dropped off at luxury hotels. When they see that they're being dropped off at a shelter or something, they get upset and refuse to get off the bus.

If you want to see what this really looks like, look at Bald and Bankrupt's video on this where he actually travels the Darien gap. Not this superficial 'documentary' from a has-been like VICE.

These people think they're coming to America for their "dream"... They're about to step into their worst nightmare.

If they were to put this much effort in their own country, things would be different for them! But that dollar and USA residency has them risking everything, most for nothing!

Being a descendant of Cuban immigrants, it breaks my heart seeing what these people have to go thru for a hope of a better life.

This is absurd. Why not just stop at Colombia, which is a nice country, , and not the purgatory people make it out to be.
