so on the month of June 2015 I turned on
the TV and heard someone say this
Mexicans are rapists they are criminals
we need to build a wall because this is
a war zone
this was Trump talking about Mexico and
many people around the world believed
him and to be honest with you I almost
did you maybe he was right it must be
scary at the border Mexico must be at
war but then one day I decided to switch
off the TV and go see the border for
myself
and what I saw there was very different
from what I imagined this is the border
between the United States and Mexico it
is what people call a war zone
it is where drugs and rapists come but
that's not entirely what I saw at the
wall I saw Americans who came to Mexico
to live to start businesses and to
vacation
[Music]
I saw Mexicans who started agriculture
businesses that make money for Mexicans
in Mexico at the wall I saw immigrants
but I saw them working on the Mexican
side of the wall that's when I realized
Mexicans aren't necessarily flooding in
as much as we think in fact more
Mexicans left the United States then
entered it in the last decade and I bet
you didn't know that from what I saw
Mexicans are proud people they are proud
of their culture of the food and their
views agree
[Applause]
they are the ones who invented color TV
they invented birth control pills the
ones that save you from having kids and
they invented tequila the one that lets
you have fun but perhaps the best
example of the true Mexican came on the
day of tragedy
[Music]
an earthquake hit Mexico City killing
370 people and destroying tens of
buildings including my hotel room which
was badly damaged it was a dangerous
dangerous time for everyone and we were
all scared but in these days I truly saw
the other side of Mexico within minutes
everyone was out of their homes
volunteering to help
people formed human chains to carry food
to the needy trucks we're digging up
destroyed buildings looking for
survivors and the entire nation
stood still helping itself recover from
disaster it's not the border it's not
the wall this is the Mexico that truly
left an impression on me on June 2015
the entire world heard these lines
Mexicans are rapists they are criminals
we need to build a wall but if my time
in Mexico was any indication it's that
these lines couldn't be any more wrong
see you next week how are you thank you
so much for watching the video try
watching another video they're short and
they're meaningful also try following
this channel I think you'll enjoy it
every day there's gonna be a much better
video coming your way
