Content warning for immigration issues and human exploitation. someplace underneath. I was really struggling with how I was going to break this into pieces.

0:50.1

And I think I figured it out now.

0:51.8

I'm doing it as migration, like going through the actual migration to the border first because basically it's like trying to reverse engineer why all of this is happening in the first place. You know, there's all of the like the news propaganda about like these dangerous caravans and all this shit and then they end up getting so

1:12.6

vulnerable at the border and that's where a lot of women go missing but a lot of women go missing

1:16.1

before that yeah on the trip and it's it's just like the saddest fucking like existence and it's just

1:24.8

really sad that they're again just like the poorest people are taking all the brunt for all the corrupt governments and people are villainizing these people who are like literally just like, please can my child like get hospital care? Like it's so fucked. Yeah, it's corrupt governments. And also, I don't like a lot of guys. For sure. But a lot of the people who are in these caravans

1:45.3

are young fathers like I mean like that because a lot of the guys in those surrounding areas

1:50.4

I assume are like kidnapping the women or taking the advantage of the fathers well they are yeah

1:55.1
