Its all the more reason to secure the border then nice families that need money can come and work in the usa.After going through the checkpoint and getting proper ids.The sorry no good half baked half columbian half dill wad stash house operator,like the one on my street,would get left out.Its a little sad when we have drones that fly cheap and awesome alien illuminating night vision,a warm body stands out like a sore thumb.Betcha they got a guy counting them from outerspace.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS SATAN'S BOY---- a socialist muslim out to destroy the freedoms of America. He is satan's boy, and the brainwashed liberals are EVIL followers of Satan. This is Biblical. Its all prophesized in the Bible. And that angry militant wife of his is a nasty frizzy haired angry whitey hating freak! If the musim gets in the Black House, just how do you think blacks are going to treat you.? Imagine the plumbing problems the next REAL president will be left with? kill all aliens

Borders need to be secured, period, end of story. Though I feel for this family in the video, the issue is so much larger than a family wanting to come to the U.S. for a better life. If only we could select the people crossing the border! Every day there are thousands of illegals crossing and many of them are involved with drug smuggling, they are violently inclined, do not wish to work to better themselves, or they simply want a free ride on the taxpayers shoulders. Jails are full of illegals

The reason why these people risk their lives to come to America is because America is a great country. God Bless America.

It's funny to create an office of homeland security which sounds like it is intended to defend the nation, but then have an open borders policy,virtually no borders at all around said nation.So now no security means SECURITY? How wonderfully Orwellian.

This must be hell on the families that have to endure this journey. They risk life and limb just to make a few bucks to get here. I know this is a very complicated issue, but I really don't think that someone would risk their life if it weren't out of sheer desperation. And to just dismiss this as another example of "leftist propaganda",as some may do, is just silly. But what about the affects of NAFTA are having on Mexicans? Thanks for another excellent piece, AJE.

No, its hell on American families who have had family members murdered or victimized and can't get justice because of our loose borders.

Illegal aliens who are criminals crying over taxi prices. They keep having more babies they can't feed. I hope Hemeland Security is watching this video. Nice secure borders we have. If Mexicans can pass through the border this easily so can radical Muslims. This is fucked up, really fucked up!!!
