"How to illegally cross the Mexico-US border"
"Yeah ok"

My cousin who is an engineer with a degree makes 4 times as much washing dishes in California than he does designing industrial cnc lathes in Mexico. My uncle who owns 100s of acres of land with historical Spanish missions built on them comes up here to work as a cook. Down there hes the richest man in town, up here he makes eggs Benedict for college kids.

I love how the Tijuana-San Diego tunnel was basically a WWI trench network

Imagine risking your life to cross the border and then end up as stock "border crossing" footage

You didn’t explain how I, an American, break into Mexico.

[brickpig]

It was so easy! Once I explained to border patrol that I was crossing from the U.S to Mexico they just let me on my way. Don't know what all the fuss was about but I sure met a lot of Mexicans coming the other way.

This is the most interesting video about bricks that I have ever seen.

Correction: $3500 USD is about 10 months worth of work for the average Mexican.

This video is now playing on huge projectors at the border crossing stations.

Youtube: recommended for you

Me, a Mexican: woah, that's rude Youtube.

[RanarrDealer]

great video. One note, as someone who recently lived in mexico, the fee for Coyotes (the smugglers he discussed), from everyone I know who crossed recently, or intend to cross, is closer to $7500-$10, 000 (this is anecdotal of course)

as a mexican citizen, i thank my mom for taking the risk and coming here just before i was born, she has worked so hard and gave me a better life, for a huge chunk, she was single and raised me alone, and yet gave me an amazing life, im in college now trying to pursue a career so i can pay her back and she can finally rest
