I was blessed to see him in concert about 4 years ago. Such a powerful performer; gorgeous voice still.

I see three thumbs down. I guess there are a few folks upset to see Johnny Cash show compassion toward aliens. Nowadays, its hard to find someone on television show the courage of Johnnny Cash.

+CashPresley32 You do know the song is about migrant workers, don't you? Not immigration. Also, "should" doesn't always factor into situations where people are trying to save the lives of their families. Even really, really white people don't watch their kids starve to death while they wait for the right paperwork.

Why do you think they were deported? They were temporary workers deported when their contracts ran out. Most of them probably would have preferred to stay in the U.S, but immigration law did not allow them to stay and look for other jobs. A number of proposals to "improve" current immigration laws involve bringing back a similar "bracero" law.

Cash shoulda shut up and let Rodriguez sing it alone. No, wonderful song. Like the version the Highwaymen did with Rodriguez as well. At the start and the end of the day were all still just a number of a "Deportee" to the Man because we're all replaceable, can never forget that .

when I first heard this song it was done by the Highway Men. It caught my attention because I am Native Armericn and this place was stolen by people who came from other lands, but it is not mentioned in American history how the lands were shared with those new people. what conflicts broke out was because of the disrespect shown to the indigenous people and to the Creation that gave us life. Then this song is heard and it left me wondering why this country had to be so selfish. I think that is something that should be realized and understood by all of us. daneh ho neyo' de:ong neh sa'nigo:in

john cash was a true trailblazer. this song must have stirred the Nazis of Nashville back in 1987.

I grew up in Coalinga and all through school we were never told about that crash.

this song is so amazing

Amazing! I get chills at the end of this performance.

Johnny Cash was great. He risked offending his fans. He had Bob Dylan on his show.

So happy to see Johnny Cash honor this excellent song, but confused as to he changed the lyrics.

I'll try again A strong community knows it's neighbors . A strong nation knows it's neighbors.if we are going to keep. Strong we need the strength of all our good neighbors and we have no need to chase around the world looking for them. Just look next door.We as a people can no longer use our good neighbors then dishonor them by discarding them or calling them not by their names but just DEPORTEES.

This live recording is far superior to the album version with Willie Nelson. The blend of these two very different voices, the vision of how the song obviously touches both men and being able to hear Rodriguez's narration at the end are all great.

😢😢😢

Sad song

I had the pleasure of shaking cash,s hand 4:40 4:40

"Deportee" always hits me in the feels, but this version had me weeping. It is sung with such tenderness by these men, who took the trouble to honor its bilingual nature. Does anyone know what program this was presented on, who introduced the song, and when it was aired? My guess is the late 60s/early 70s. I'd never heard of Johnny Rodriguez before, but he did a damned fine job here. I live in San Jose, and whenever I'm up on Hwy 17 pass to Santa Cruz, I always take a look back at Los Gatos, which we gringos tragically pronounce as "Las GAT-us." I don't know the exact location of the crash, but the telephone wires across the arroyo have those orange balloon-like plane warnings hanging from them. Where they installed as a precaution? I don't know, but I thought I'd share these details with my like-minded friends.

This was a time when a good old boy from the south had the balls to stand up for immigrants. His name was Johnny Cash. Nowadays he would be called someone who should be deported by MAGA's.
