1. build that wall.
2. Great vid but please be smarter surly that brother will be punished for telling you about the man drowning at least would of blurred his face
3. This ugly fat, full of beer man shit Manuel Torres is a liar that he is helping the people with their salary is a big fat lie the workers should stop growing food for his fat ass and make him to go on diet until he dies. Fucking crook I bet he pays them peanuts no wonder why people around the world are going from place to place but wherever people go there are always fucking crooks like this ugly cow Torres.
4. This video is giving false information. Farm workers earn by "piece work" they are paid for the amount of produce they pick. The average migrant from Mexico can earn up to $200 a day with hard fast work and they do do that.
5. It is incredibly sad that my fellow Mexican brothers and sisters are forced to cope with these sad and inhumane conditions and how even my state of Baja California has refused to address this issue formally.
   
   Its because of Mexico's incompetent political class that many are suffering this. Instead of investing on the masses and fighting poverty through comprehensive and effective policy they just choose to make themselves and their friends richer with money that isn't theirs.
   
   Its because of this that many Mexican citizens have to cross to the US because their government has chosen to ignore their problems and allow their citizens to be abused and forced to become slaves to the fields.
   
   How I wish that I could help this and many more other causes in my country but thats why I'm pursuing higher education, to learn to become an effective politician that works for the masses and not for the few and improve the lives of millions if citizens.
6. umm... this isnt just a U.S or Mexico thing. This is WORLD WIDE. Anywhere you go, the rich want to squeeze every last dime and minute of work out of the poor that they can. They want to squeeze blood from a rock, its bullshit. Chavez had the right idea, who benefits from free trade? The rich. Who makes per more hour or day? The rich. Who has retirement and excellent healthcare and refuse to offer the same to their own workers? The rich. Who finds loop holes in trade/healthcare/tax laws to take advantage of every last worker? The rich.
   Without WORKERS your business does not EXIST.
7. That is so fucked up, i only watch two minutes of this video, but what happened to fkn chapo i though they claim he takes care of culiacan.
8. thr must be a working class for food unless we place all people on some sort of office job. as the population grows the offspring need land to make food or some way of living. struggle between the modern world and the old farming slave past.
9. Why are indigenous people generally poor? The vast majority of middle/upper class Mexicans are white.
   Same in other countries like Australia.
10. Great documentary #powerful
11. THIS SHOULD BE MEXICO'S PROBLEM, NOT THE U.S. Immigrants have managed to get the U.S. to be more sympathetic to their needs than their own country. I am proud and supportive of any efforts they make to change their totally corrupt, shameful government. There is a movement (not a revolution, yet) in the U.S. to solve this problem that is dividing and destroying our country. The U.S. should just invade and annex Mexico so we can straighten this mess out. If you count the immigrant population when this influx started (instead of when the government wanted to), the number is 40 million! That's one third of Mexico's population. Mexico is wealthy in natural resources. We may as well take and use those resources to the advantage of Americans and Mexicans.
12. I'm not eating fruit until these companies treat these mexicans right!
13. They should have fewer kids first, then maybe I might be sympathetic with them.
14. I used to pick fruit as a 7 year old child. I would get paid 5 pesos for a whole days work. My sister and I would pick papaya. And we would each make 5 pesos a day. I would sometimes help my mother pick cucumbers. And I remember picking mangos. At the end of the day, my sister and I would have to walk back to our small hometown from the fruit fields. And the truck would leave filled with fruit buckets.
15. Deberían de hacer un segundo reportaje para ver como siguen las condiciones den el Valle de San Quintín.
16. watching this makes me angry. greed is running our souls thus humans suffer. not human regardless of race should be treated that way. #sisepuede
17. look at all those scary people in that video.
18. America loves you president,,Donald trump. thank you for winning sir.
19. Mexicans are the reason for all of the world's problems.
