Hey Shaun a little late to this party but I wanted to share my experience. My son is with the Texas National Guard on the Border Mission. He is currently in the Big Bend area riding a Polaris Ranger on the big ranches in the area for this exact reason. It is May2024 and the summer is beginning and many desperate people not familiar with the region will be crossing this area. His job is to find and rescue them from the elements. Also my family owns property in the Rocksprings area. We had a cabin that would get broken into with only food and water taken. We got a foot locker and always stocked it with canned goods and openers plus fresh water and that stopped the break ins. We did this like you did to help them. Once we did come across a group gave them water and food they were very gracious. This was back in the 80’s. Wrapping up like you said doesn’t matter where you are on the political side of this issue when you meet someone in true need you help them end of story.

If you can't find a good person, be one. Thanks for what you do!

I live in a border town in AZ. Had to call La Migra two weeks ago on a "give up". Ive also found them deceased and some who have walked 28 miles in four days, no food or water. He was on day 2 of his own urine. I was able to call the sheriffs department and ems. He survived and was able to speak to his daughter in Guatemala. As a father if three girls it was hard to watch as he completely lost it on the phone call. They sent him back after being ordered processed. La migra assisted us greatly including offering a helicopter . They lift title 42 we will most certainly see an increase deaths. You are a good human, keep on keeping on mi amigo

This *whole nation* is a nation of immigrants. I think that *if* the immigrants didn't break any laws (besides entering), then they should have the opportunity to become American citizens. I know one family who were 'illegal immigrants'. They worked hard to become citizens, and before and after that, they worked hard, paid taxes, and are nice, beautiful people. I'm tired of Dems being more cunning and smart politically. We should try it sometime.

This is quite the change (from a viewers perspective) from developing land to helping humans. I hope you will find workable and human solutions that don't get you into big troubles. But I'm 100% sure you will do what is right. We need more of this mindset in this world and less of the 'me me me' mindset. We are just passing by in this world and have no 'rights' for being here. It's all a gift. I hope we start treating everything we get more like a gift and less like something we deserve. Keep posting, I'll keep watching. Nothing more I can do for you right now unfortunately (within my ability), but I'll try to do my best to help others where I live :) God bless you!

Kindness, kindness and more kindness is what every human being knows and needs and understands. You are doing what you can and I am proud of you.

Shouldn't be happening at all, and everyone is safe

I could not hold back my tears. That should not be! This situation is as unnatural as the land being in this condition. You are a good human being, Shaun. I'm an immagrant myself, I came to US legally, but I didn't have to run away from danger or harsh conditions, I had time to go a legal route and a good chance of getting a permission to move here. It's impossible to judge these people and I always look at them sympathetically and with respect. They are human beings that deserve to be safe, fed, and not to have constant worry about life of their children.

In Canada what we mostly see about the situation at the border is mostly the extreme toxic politics that seems to completely ignore the human side of the ongoing exodus of these migrants, the desperate situations they are fleeing from and the dangers and hardship they endure while doing so. Nobody would ever put themselves in this situation without something at least as horrible as what they must be facing where they live. You sir gave me hope that America hasn’t lost its way completely. I felt your anguish in my chest as I watched. It was a heart wrenching experience. You acted with compassion and I think you acted exactly the way one should given the circumstances. Including rejecting the ridiculous behaviours you were faced with. Compassionate and empathetic but also not putting yourself in the position of being a doormat. An empathetic and balanced response. You did that exactly right and focussed on just the right thing. Hats off to you! Respect.

Don't believe that political narrative that they are fleeing dangers to come to a better life because that is generally not the case. Democrat lawyers from the United States are down there telling them what to say and are doing this to help raise funds illegally for themselves by endangering the lives of these people and most of these people are good people but you have bad ones mixed in and those are the real dangers to any country who receives them. Joe Biden is an evil SOB and they have loads of children in the sex trade because of this influx of illegal immigration. This whole thing that is going on with the illegal immigration is being done by the global Elites who are trying to collapse the United states. They're trying to turn this into a communist country and they want to bring about severe hardships upon the citizens. It's a very difficult situation being thrust upon these people and most of them coming do want a better life for themselves but they are not going to get what they expect because what they have been promised is not so much what they will receive.

In Canada they show up with designer luggage, the latest iPhone and expensive runners. Don’t compare the two. Let your compassion show by taking in two illegal migrants to Canada, into your own home. Of course helping the lost and helpless people here in the desert is a different situation. They should be treated and then sent back to their country as they are breaking laws of the US.

Doing what you can, with what you have is the very definition of the compassion that's so lacking in our country.

Be careful out there. Desperate people will be drawn to your camp and your truck. While 99.9% of them don’t want to harm you, it only takes 1 scared and desperate person to try something with you. I would bring 2 friends or even workers with you on trips.

He was trapping ringtail on the trail to take back across the border, and then cross back near Lajitas to sell his pelts. I offered him water, which he refused as he was well provisioned.

My grandma got the fuck out of Texas when the feds came to her home after helping some people jumping the border with food, water and a place to rest and you're saying he should put them to work on a publicly viewable video...

Thank you for the insight. Thanks also for the right way of being human. In the circle of concern vs the circle of influence, you have chosen to put your energy into that which you have influence. God love yah man. Looking forward to more content.

A refreshingly level-headed and rational take on the situation.

You have all my respect Shaun!

Raw, unfiltered reality just hits different. Admirable attitude in a difficult situation. I don't know what the solution is but a part of it could be addressing the underlying issues rather than trying to _only_ patch things up with the end result... and _there's_ a long history of bad choices made in the past which contributed to all that. Some soul searching is in order for many.

I have a greater faith in humanity by the comments here. Most people see the human compassion you have that is balanced with realism. I’m in southern cal and this is life 🙏

Thank you for approaching this with humanity and compassion.

God bless you for your approach to this whole issue. I look at it about the same, from both sides -- tempering the "justice" with "mercy," just as our Lord does.

You're a good man, Shaun.

You said everything right. You help who you can. You are a compassionate person. I’m in north Texas and don’t understand people’s heartlessness. I do not believe in unlimited migration. It’s shameful how these people are abused on both sides of the border. Mexico needs to put an end to cartels and we need a sensible compassionate working government not a bunch of rabble rousers and posers.

I subscribed a couple days ago cause I heard you mention your in the Rio Grande Valley. I’m glad I did, thank you for being human.

No politics just compassion.

It's really too bad we can't address the corruption in Mexico etc. to make those countries safe and prosperous places for all to live.

The drug cartels make life nearly impossible for regular people. The cartels are selling illegal drugs to Americans. Everyone who buys those drugs has responsibility for this.

You can, the drug trade is only one half of it, the other half is weapons going the other way. if the US stopped selling weapons to gangs in Mexico it would make it a lot easier for the mexican government to get the violence under control.

Bless you for blessing him.

great video. good to see this side of the journey. thank you for helping people.

God bless you for being a saving grace to those humans in need

You have to persevere and somehow continue this project. Please don't quit. Yes, do something for your security but don't give up on the greening project.

Just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching your videos, and this one is intense, because you’re right we don’t really think about it sitting here in east Texas just how it really is. I’m going to continue watching your videos. Best of luck to you on this journey and stay safe. Subscribing.

Heard you on TPR, great content!

I'm reminded of an illegal encounter. I was playing outside in south Texas around 1978. A white man with strawberry-blond hair went walking across the property and got within about 40 feet of me. His hair was long, he had blue eyes and most of his front teeth missing, and he looked aged and tired. He called out to me in Spanish. I didn't recognize it because I was used to Native Spanish, not white Spanish (accents are definitely different), and I am deaf. I simply ran in the house and told my step mother. She went out to talk with him briefly, and she made sandwiches for him and gave him water. She told me years later that he had passed through a second time. I'll never forget that haunting look in his face. I didn't realize it would be me about 40 years later when I fled America for spiritual and financial reasons. All that you experienced over there since lockdowns, I got to miss nearly all of that. Even my rent went down, comparatively-speaking (same price throughout, even when I went from a 1-bedroom-1-bathroom to a 2-bedroom-2-bathroom!). No shortage of money, food or toilet paper, no standing in food lines or going to help agencies, or even facing evictions. None of that. I fled at the right time.

​@@stevexracer4309 I hope I don't! It's particularly bad over there now for those in the bottom 15%. THAT is where I am. I'm 57, deaf, and semi-skilled, and I tried to get into a LOT of different things in 13-18, but nothing worked out, and I had multiple eye surgeries to keep from going blind in one eye in very early 2018. I left while I was a driver for someone months later, once I was clear to fly safely as a retina patient. It was impossible to stop going further into debt. In September of '17, I had gotten out of debt entirely, getting $14,000 out of the hole, and then I discovered the detached retina on Dec. 26th and had surgery on Jan 3rd, and again, and then again. I was all the way back in the hole by $14,000 AGAIN. I could barely make enough money to house and feed myself (in a room). I knew I lost the whole war, not just the battle, and I had already experienced staying in India 2 years before and knew I needed to go back. I sold everything I had and left. I was debt-free in nine months and started saving in cash, gold, and silver again. I have savings like never before. Yes, I'm not going back if I can help it. It's become a western-style monarchy over there. The medical industrial complex has the population hostage. The Federal Reserve System has you hostage as well. I don't see anyone doing a damn thing about it. Here, I'm educating people about the reality of America behind the picture that MSM paints for foreigners. The country has gone demonic (well, it was to start with because it's built on the dead bodies of Native Americans). People are starting to wise up to what is called coloniality. Eventually, they're going to talk about how they can stop it, and defeat it once they figure out its weakness - paper money. Think about the fact that India has more gold in private hands than any country in the world, because the gold is passed down from generation to generation, and holy cow, you should see the crowds in jewellery shops during the holidays from August through the end of the marriage season in March/April! What will you do when Indians start giving you orders? That already happened to me in 16-18 when I decided to work for them rather than for white-man companies. I did well enough in 16-17 to get out of debt entirely like I said before.

Good on you amigo, humans are humans regardless of an imaginary line on a map.

Bravo to you Shaun for your understanding of the migrants dilemmas and helping them in any reasonable way you can. Bless you and stay safe.

I live a thousand miles from the border, but they have had camps in my neighborhood. I understand your feeling. A mixture of feelings which can be hard to describe, but contain compasion and empathy for the fate of others. All countered by the desire to protect oneself from the unknown actions of others. My opinion is that you are a good person ,and I love your project. thanks for the videos, and for the work you do.
