Most of the country is quiet today that saw after the scenes we saw the Prime Minister modi announce the lockdown when lots of people around the country were rushing to Grocery Stores panic buying and you know even though Prime Minister modi said that people would still be allowed to go out to get essential supplies and we had delis chief minister had hold a press conference a few hours ago saying that its the governments responsibility to provide for people and that by crowd in places people are defeating the point of a lockdown asking people not to do that and so things are quieter today but its so important to remember that you know panic buying and hoarding its a very middle class thing and there are so many people in india who arent middle class and in fact the places that we are seeing crowds today the homeless shelters that can no longer you know weve been hearing from homeless shelters that say they only have about 2 days worth of supplies left and thats because theyre not just looking after the homeless now but by the very rainy and india who are daily wage earners who live a hand to mouth existence and because they can no longer work i mean they can no longer look after themselves new york has also become a major battlefront in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic it now has more than 25000 confirmed cases and that number is rising rapidly but the u.

From the aljazeera London Bureau catherine t. V. Special guest in conversation when you say a lie a 1000000 times that becomes the fact you then can create whatever narrative you want unprompted uninterrupted and i realized i was working for something that evolved you know been a part of the creating at maria with me christopher while the death of journalism is only the 1st signal for the death of democracy studio to be unscripted on aljazeera. This is the u. S. Mexican border a harsh landscape thats become the focus a bitter debate between the 2 countries. Yes. Ok well built along but always good ok. The right got it right for. The film were about to show you the 1st ad in 2007 it questions a policy thats become even more contentious today. The Sonoran Desert in the south of the United States a harsh hot and im forgiving landscape straddling the border with mexico a natural barrier not so much a protective wall but a regional belt dividing the bodies of 2 nations. Thousands of Illegal Migrants cross into this area of arizona every year to them it represents a gateway to a better life. In reality its often a cold glitter of death from which they may never return. Crossing the desert to avoid these steel and concrete walls which mark the border in urban areas where the main road like this we look for people. Anybody out here they could be standing on the side of the road if they had made it this far need help. Little done. Volunteer Catherine Ferguson and physician norma price all samaritans. Rescuing those who are in desperate need of help illegal shed been physically and mentally defeated by the deadly conditions people walk not only trails but they walk in circles because theyre lost so you could have a child walking out here you could have a man a grandmother or you could have a group of people and all im doing is looking for anything that looks like a human being. But katherine and norma all the only ones on the lookout. And then. Tell 1st to groups to help us the United States government has. As many Border Patrol and Border Patrol backup as there are stars in the sky. In an attempt to secure its borders the Current Administration is spending billions of dollars on enforcement money many argue is doing little to stop the human traffic merely rebooting it since theyve closed the ports it forces people out into the secure. Desert and people are dying so. It is supposed to send a message back to the villages in mexico that if you come here youll die out of the desert its a policy of death. And. They really dont know what theyre facing i mean they dont know how hot and dry it is most of them if they havent been here before they dont know about the desert and mostly women in high heel shoes are wedge issues and they all have one bottle of water and in this environment that is so hot and dry and desolate. If they need if they have a degree of. Exhaustion he is the new kid in tech my hospital me and they he literally just cut someone brian the heart the kidney will see a lot of pregnant women and that also. Increases the risk that theyll get into trouble. That the worst saddest of all course is the children and we see a situation where children. For those making the passage its a terrible choice a gamble really face death and avoid capture or seek help even if that means deportation order. On i. Head in the distance emerging from the scrub stands a solitary figure his decision has been made paying with his life is too high a price for passage to the promised land. But does this. So most. Frightened disorientated and exhausted his story is like so many of those left behind when he couldnt keep up with the group. The specialist went on in other parts of the think tank. To get out of. One of the things that go with. The naval. Base. But if. You want us to. Think. It all. With. Me only that. I. Myself you know why. But i had committed you know the word that limited more chief and. Just been. They want to thank you for you before you. Move. Forward with. Me. And saw me in your. Thinking. The samaritans presenting him with his options but his face betrays the. Peers who sent me the wrong. Play the fed im. Going. To ac us nor means the samaritans can do nothing but call the Border Patrol placing an illegal in their own car would mean a possible jail sentence anybody that gives them a ride would be arrested if theyre caught we cant do that they could spend 5 years in prison for transporting alien and 10 years for conspiring against the United States government. With little time to collect his thoughts and belongings hes arrested by the Border Patrol. And this is a 1st time blow up the mall and i can go stand back literally like god. I apologize for america theyre really nice americans here those guys were nice. But if the authorities appear to be taking a hard line theres a reason for their lives. Of hospitality the truth is many who attempt to cross illegally will do so again and again until they succeed. Means 0 tolerance. Your. Life. Your wealth. They have worn. Oh my goodness these are human beings were dealing with intelligent feelings since you know beans and we cant give them socks or water theres something very wrong with that. We have a schizo frank sign at the border where this big sign that says keep out and at the same time metaphorically we have the sign that says help wanted we have theres a tremendous number of jobs we have significant sectors of the economy that need large numbers of low skilled workers that were not producing in the native born population and there are no legal channels for those workers to command and therefore the only way those workers can enter in large numbers its illegally. Judas is an academic and an immigration x. But she knows the statistics speak for themselves since 2000 people have been entering at the rate of about 850000. 00 a year there are currently an estimated 12000000 people in the country illegally and thats a huge number but the other thing is happening is that immigrants are going to what we call nontraditional states communities all over the country are suddenly waking up to find large foreign born populations in their midst in their schools i mean it seemed like it happened overnight and felicitous and wait a minute whats going on and theres a feeling that the system is out of control which in fact it so i mean there are Serious Problems with our immigration system. A series of fences dotted along the 3000 kilometer border between. The United States and mexico were designed to stem the flow of Illegal Movement in urban areas based on current estimates the system is a failure. The walls have not been an effective deterrent theyve changed their way and the costs involved in getting it at the time of the fences put up in california the assumption was that the desert was too difficult or an environment in the desert with itself would be an effective wall and people would come in through that ask them that bet has turned out to be false people have come into the desert and as you know a lot of people died trying to cross. Despite this the walls will continue to go up with president bush signing off on the secure fence act in 2006 approving the construction of a war stretching 1000 kilometers on the other side of the fence the lure of the american dollar appeals to both citizens and the Mexican Government alike mexico benefits tremendously by having its workers here. Remittances money being sent home by mexican citizens working in the United States to their families in mexico is the 2nd largest source of foreign currency in mexico and it lessens the social pressure within the country so mexico in a real way doesnt have a huge incentive to stop this its. Over doro all she can see is a separation barrier which has divided her family. By only bookkeeper. A mom of a year but ive been there. And theyre not without legal status one cannot move between the 2 countries so for the past 14 years he hasnt seen his family in mexico. But i want to tell me. Not im all family. Well i want to. Its a sacrifice millions have been willing to make and many more. To follow. Mexico a country of more than 100000000 people but more than 40 percent live below the poverty line. So many that the poverty line here at the border with the United States. On the other side stands. Employment and dreams of earning a high old way. But standing in their way approved such as this. This is american Border Patrol u. S. Citizens doing their bit to keep illegals out of. The organization is led by Glenn Spencer his arizona ranch sits directly the border thanks to glenn anyone can patrol it via the internet. This is one of american Border Patrols remotely operated border cams this camera is wireless and operated by solar power. So really you could run this camera from your home in new york to watch the border so that we can have thousands of americans watching the border was real vigilance 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Glenn says the u. S. Government secure Border Initiative is a disastrous failure and hes compiled hours of video footage to prove it this is the most highly policed area in the country right and we could walk through even in daylight right with a huge atomic bomb on our back. And they would know it they could stop it if they wanted to but they dont. I will bet you there are at least 60 illegal aliens holed up moving through the river in the washington right now you have to understand this goes on for. 100 miles of the United States border. All along youre now people say well i dont see anybody well they dont want to be seen and to make sure they are being seen american Border Patrol is spending millions of donated dollars on surveillance equipment this is our border hawk you avi stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and basically its not a lot different than a Remote Control airplane except this has a computer inside of it if i was by a cell. And underneath down here this is our little pan and tilt system here this is one we designed it had built for us and this allows us to look around 360. 00 and i interrogate a target as it would be called where you can look at some and stay on it as the plane is moving a former military man mike king knows how to catch the enemy so when the federal aviation authorities stopped him flying on mind aircraft he simply changed tactics plan b. Was to buy real airplanes and so we did we purchased a cessna 2 to a 6 and we get a lot of video that way its been of extreme effective tool for us to gather intelligence on whats happening on the border what you train your eye to see in the bush is you start picking out pretty easily as you fly along or specialists outside as theyre staging. There are aspiring illegal aliens at that point there is a lot of it you dont see it because they dont want to be seen but theyre everywhere and we 1st got a thermal camera put on the house and i turned in i swung into the south just looking into mexico for people down there and the next day there were people down there and the next day there were people down there and that every night i was catching groups of 2030 walking just west of the property here for like 3 weeks straight for in 3 weeks i caught like 500 people i dont pretend like im not involved you know my my conscience when i see it happening you know getting into my country there and i call the Border Patrol so let them deal with that we dont go out and tackle anybody. This all may seem a little excessive obsessive or even slightly odd but considering that more than 3000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars is being spent on Border Security glenn showed aljazeera exactly where that money isnt going project now that. International border between the United States and mexico im now going to step into mexico. And here we are. Self of the border. Down mexico way. This is the 1st line of defense for the United States against an invasion from the rest of the world it may stop some but not many come much money were spending on defending the borders of iraq. And our borders are wide open. And the government knows it wide open to drugs terrorists and weve proven there. And they know it. But there were being sacrificed on the altar of globalism and longer believe in the nation state they want to merge mexico the United States and canada together and if a few 1000 people are sacrificed in the process as just price. For many who have tried to cross and failed they arrest receive medical treatment for cuts and blisters and then get ready to do it all again and here in nogales in mexico people smuggling is big business for. Me. As they are stuffing this man is a. He wont show his face because he imports goods from the United States but its human exportation and exploitation where the real money is a. Good thing. Im not. Going to. Buy a little mentors and give back a place was a pleasure sandwich as bored as it will get a god. But there in lies the irony of the situation the legal route into the us is fraught with as many obstacles as a trek through the desert. Regardless of ones political allegiance regardless of whether someones an activist or humanitarian you cant. Turn away from those and i hear often i hear people say well i like the migrants i just dont like the illegal migrant or like immigrants just those who come in legally and i think his people are either extremely naive or. Stubborn are. Turning their back on the situation because theres no way these people can come in legally. Though as the saying goes do good fences make Good Neighbors many would argue its merely the symptoms that are being addressed not the cause and that is an issue for both sides of the fence i think a chain fall that a country as rich as mexico. Is forcing poor people to come to another country to work i would suggest that it is shameful that the president of mexico calls people who go to other countries in legally to work. And i think its shameful that of both our countries that we cant get together and work out some sort of a sensible policy. Melissa owens lives with the reality of illegal migration this is her backyard it stretches as far as the eye can see well basically mexico is about 4 and a half miles right over that ridge right there this is due south. But shes seen enough of the problems and trespass as. I would say we would have at least one group of 15 to 20 people at least every night sometimes groups of men but sometimes women with children in their arms. Waking me up you know they have no idea what to do the last they just need help theyve been told by their guides their call your taste that its 6 months to wherever theyre going to get up to the top of that ridge and there this is the view they get to look out across the valley obviously theres nothing. But within the picturesque landscape melissas ranch resembles a fortified compound enclosed by rays a while to keep her safe and intruders out i had some men i dont know how many it was attempt to break in my house while i was here and they were actually kicking in the door. And i was so i was here by myself and it was it was it was not a good experience i think im pretty tough but i dont particularly want to have that happen again alone in such a remote environment melissa is prepared to defend herself and her property when i work away from the house i wear a small head and i have it on my belt almost all the time i wear it for protection i hope to god i never have to use this gun i dont like having to wear it doesnt make me feel. Powerful or important but on the other hand if im ever in a really bad situation i want to be able to defend myself. An emotionally charged issue that legal migration has polarized americans its an issue debated by. All additions thousands of kilometers away in washington d. C. But one which affects individuals at the border directly if i didnt have the greatest respect for hispanic culture i sure would. Be on the euro zone to mexico border. Im not talking about race im not talking about nationality im talking about people who are on my land and in my country illegally i dont want. People i dont know walking across my land and i dont care whether theyre from finland or togo or water mala. I dont want them here its a small war zone. People dont know what it is i wish they would come here at the moment its very quiet with beautiful big clouds but at certain times of day their helicopters out here their horse patrols their a. T. V. s around their guys that look like darth vader theyre completely covered in black and they carry guns and theyre out here looking for people like the man we met today. Its another way to instill fear in america. Since this film. The us continue to increase spending. At no other time in history has there been as many Border Patrol officers on duty as there are today and now the authorities are bracing for a new challenge children. The number of families and unaccompanied children apprehended at the border keeps skyrocketing young people are filling Family Detention Centers having fled poverty are extreme violence in central america.
