Get To US Border Or Die Trying: Chinese Migrants Inch Toward American Dream | Part 2 - Walk The Line

Фильм және анимация

Having encountered more Chinese migrants along the way, CNA correspondent Wei Du arrives in Necocli, Colombia, where the migrants are set to embark on the most dangerous part of their journey: a long trek through the Darien Gap. As the migrants move ahead, the CNA team encounters roadblocks in the drug cartel-controlled territory. Meanwhile, in Monterey Park, California, newly arrived Chinese migrants struggle to find their footing.

This particular documentary is generally well done with little to no "propaganda", but if there were any "angle", as you put it, it would be to discourage Chinese Citizens from attempting to leave China and immigrate to America. Chinese Citizens in America would generally give America an advantage against the CCP in the same way that Millions of Americans in China would give America a potential advantage or edge against the CCP. The questions you are asking are too difficult to explain in a few sentences on KZread, as the problems in both countries are infinitely complex and interrelated.

    They took the long hard route. Indians go to Canada as international students but get jobs, use food banks for the homeless. The Canadian government caves in to their protests to stay, work and claim permanent residence when they were suppose to leave after studies. Tens of thousands of Indians have done this in the past couple years. If they choose to go to the US, it's easier with a base in Canada. Some Canadians have noticed the substantial increase in the Indian population out of every other group and are miffed at their demands.

I don't think so. That's why they gave up everything to come here. And that is not to say there is not social instability in America (or that it isn't intentionally getting worse through Communist/ Globalist Usury Subversion). Because it is.

My wife is from GuangXi, and we were classmates in graduate school. We, like MOST chinese Americans are now living the American Dream. Keep in mind, most Chinese Americans are wealthier than even white americans. Most of us have university degrees, and 25% of us have masters/doctorates. This is the reason why we Chinese (Asian) Americans are so prosperous in the US, NOT by coming here illegally.

    ​@@mingzmings88 as an American I'll agree. Chinese out of all groups have the ability to live in any circumstance because Chinese eat bitter. That's why there's a Chinatown in every city of the world no matter how poor. Unfortunately when these Chinese reach the US they'll find it's no easier than back in China. The pay is high but the living expenses are higher. Many Americans have to live on credit debt just to get by. The Chinese couple in Monterey Park in this clip complained that the cost of groceries were so high but if the set foot outside the Chinese communities they'll find the regular supermarket prices are even higher. Like that one guy said maybe half go back to China. The rest will live lives of toil. In past generations the Chinese parents accept this in exchange for their children being well educated in the US and live an elevated life but in this new age that's no longer a guarantee as many American college graduates struggle to find good paying jobs upon graduation.

    @@mingzmings88 for you the US costs of living are not bad because it's similar to Singapore. San Francisco is a bit higher than SG but in Las Vegas Arizona Dallas it should be cheaper than SG. For mainland Chinese it's a different story like you said especially these migrant worker types who live in maybe 3rd tier Chinese cities US cities will be a price shock. Not sure what you mean target. target them for what? Not sure what you mean. I think lot of these illegal immigrants to the US left China mainly because they were sold a false hope by gangster human trafficking groups doing certain promotions to people in China who are in bad situations whatever those may be. As you can see from the show some of these people thought the streets were paved with gold still same as the Chinese who sold other Chinese the same stories hundreds of years ago to look for the gold mountain. In this episode where the one guy went to the immigration lawyer she said if he stays there's a chance that if he wants to stay he won't get a green card or permanent residency status and he can only have working rights and will report to the Chinese embassy. But there's a good chance the Chinese embassy wouldn't even give these people the papers to be able to return to China by plane. This means for many of these people the CCP views them as better for Chinese society to be rid of them for whatever reasons. China wouldn't even waste time to have them back to punish if that's what you mean.

    THIS is an asylum case. Whereas the Chinese people shown on the documentary, I don’t fully get why they are making the whole worldwide trek. What is so terrible that they have to run away? I see some comments here that they are bad actors running from debt or crimes. Hmm… that doesn’t sound like asylum cases. That sounds like fugitives.

    Come to this country legally, pay the immigration fee, set up an interview, and medical fee, and wait a long year to be granted a visa and no help from the government. But these people just cross the borders and get free healthcare, food, and a place to stay. This is so unfair and very disrespectful to those who come here and follow the proper way.

What is the benefit of the sponsors is that they get permanent workers with low wages or workers without wages, they are only given a place to live and eat for free after that they are worked until they die, it is impossible for them to socialize with the people of the USA because they do not have official documents, they are imprisoned because they do not know that there is a crime against humanity, namely slavery, behind illegal immigrants there is human trafficking.

    Terima kasih mbak Wei Du dan tim CNA untuk film dokumenternya yg sangat bagus ini. Dulu tahun 2005 (umur 18 thn) saya ikut undian green card dan lolos tapi saya waktu itu galau banget, di satu sisi pengin banget jadi warga U.S karena saya dari keluarga miskin tapi di sisi lain saya belum siap secara mental. Modal saya waktu itu cuma satu: bisa bahasa inggris. Akhirnya saya pun gagal ke Amerika. 3 tahun berselang saya nyaris merantau ke Canada, tapi akhirnya gagal juga. Andaikan dulu saya ambil kesempatan jadi U.S citizen mungkin nasib saya jauh lbh baik dan bisa membantu saudara dan keluarga. Sekarang hidup di Indo hanya cukup buat survive, hanya sedikit sisa utk ditabung, mau bangun rumah sederhana saja penuh perjuangan.

    The way those migrants look for jobs in US, are very similar to the way they tried to make a living in Singapore. They go night market place stalls, involve in sex trade etc. The manner they enter the country is more comfortable, via planes and social visit pass with relatives in Singapore. Some entered with work permit many years ago even after their permit expired. Last time, my neighbour told me that her friend rented out the portion of her shop to Chinese migrant without having proper paper work. The moment police comes, migrant ran away bought ticket fly back to China immediately. In the end, the landlord's son was sentenced to jail sentence cos the property is under her son's name. 😢
