I’ll have to go watch Timmy’s. I enjoyed Bald’s but not as much as his Eastern European / Soviet Bloc videos.


When him and his lady friend snuck into the Baikonur Cosmodrome and saw tone of the Buran shuttles was a good one.

I would imagine with all the "migration" it is a beaten down, packed mud, trashy, nasty 60 miles now.

It amazes me the lengths people will go through to reach the USA.

I can't believe the evils of capitalism would physically traffick the millions of illegals into the US like the left says.

There's not many opportunities or reasons for a public school to cover something like the Darien Gap
seriously? It's kind of a key aspect of the Americas.

love how they use a picture of a bunch of children and women COVERED in mud as they make their perilous, long journey through deadly dangerous territory, just so they can reach America and be free
dude. I'm not for open borders but have some sympathy for these poor people who didn't feel they had any other choice. You want to blame someone blame the Dems for creating this behavior. People wouldn't randomly trek into cartel jungles with 3 year olds if they didn't think they were getting into the US.

Terrible stuff. Did you even watch bald's video?

Although Venezuelans remain the most represented nationality for the past two years by a wide margin, with 328,667 individuals crossing in 2023, there has also been an unprecedented surge in extracontinental migrants from Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, who travel to South America in the hope of reaching the U.S.-Mexico border via the Darién Gap. According to a November 2023 report by the Crisis Group, an estimated 97 different nationalities crossed through the Darién in the first seven months of 2023, including significant numbers of Chinese migrants and Afghan refugees.


Serious question...if capitalism is so evil and socialism so great, why are so many people from all over the world risking their lives to come here?

ETA: The city of Chicago could learn something about this and barriers making it harder for trouble to reach you (and sever the CTA red line in the loop)

Because right now the US is the best of both worlds

You can come here and get paid cash to do day labor stuff

PLUS take advantage of the socialist entitlements we offer

Except maybe for Washington, people say no president has been as great as Trump)…you know I’m smarter than any president ever…”

can you imagine these kids on the video growing up and hanging out with their friends at a bar when they're 21?

"Yeah i crossed the Darien Gap when I was 8"

Baws would be losing their shite talking to one of those girls who made the trek.

I wonder how many Baton Rougeans would attempt to cross the Atchafalaya Gap by foot for the dream of a better life.
if you could escape poverty, double your pay, and have free health care, would you attempt it?
