0:00 and it's all those Chinese tourists that surrounded him you know you think it's like cartel guys with gold guns and it's just a bunch of Chinese people with roller bags saying hey don't shoot your gun [Music] man you guys remember this um hole that's on the uh one end of the on the border and like all the the place where the walking through it's like a hole that's right against this like Bush right here and then the Barb wies kind of raised so they can like walk under it I don't know about that but yeah so it's a very popular way in yeah and uh before we talk about uh that I just wanted to tell you guys that um the way that a lot of people found out about it was through like social media and like Tik Tok a lot

0:50 of um is that ho in California or Texas or Texas yeah um there's this thing where uh basically on Tik Tok there were these tutorials on how to even get the ride that takes you to that hole uh and then um it's a 4ft passageway uh Vans are going to drop people off every 30 minutes to that hole oh it's like a bus stop yeah and you got to pay uh it's like an hour away from the main road you got to pay 400 bucks for it the step-by-step instructions and which Smugglers to hire and which ones to avoid it's all on Tik Tok wow that's crazy they got Smugglers that are like this one's on as this one yeah there's like basically like ways to differentiate how to not get scammed and everything yeah this one they'll take your kids and sell them this one they're really nice it's like a Yelp review for The

1:41 Smuggler a lot of the Chinese migrants that like that Journey their way down here already know that information dude I got a I got an idea for an app um what yeah dude okay let's go so there'll be a Spanish version called coyote and then there'll be an Asian one called Snakehead the as one is is going to be like Chinese whatever language you need as when you need like a connect in Asia to come to America yeah and then uh coyote is like when you use the you use that app to go into America from the Latin America oh I think it works out yeah and then you go on I was lost for a second well okay so so you go on these apps and then you have Smugglers and different business guys and whatever and it's like Yelp you could review like this one try

2:33 to sell my kidness this one's like brings water in his trucks and then you can kind of it's like rape my Smuggler it's a really good idea so that already exists called Tik Tok and that's how they do it I don't know I don't trust Tik Tok they're Chinese so what happens is uh did you guys ever wonder who owns the land that that hole is on people can own the government land it's not government land was BLM land no it's not what no like the actual Bureau of Land Management management federal land federal land is called BLM land yeah yeah I'm so used to you retaining number one spot was the official name is BLM you thought it was a hot take you BLM stole the acronym from someone else that already I saw you going up with the ball and I was like here it comes when it's the land when it's the

3:23 land like right at the gate that's probably BLM land like you're were saying but this is way off from the from the actual like on the American side or you mean on the Mexico side on the on the American side on the American side a cartel owns it no it's just a regular dude some guy just a regular guy like some guy's address some guy is he complicit though what is he complicit like is he a part of the thing no so his name is Jerry Schuster he's a Yugoslavian immigrant that just bought that land like ages ago that's his private land like I thought Yugoslavia doesn't even exist anymore it's like it's like non-stop speed bump through a parking lot Joe Joe what's the Yugoslavian app that country doesn't exist that's probably why he bought the land cuz he didn't have his own country anymore and

4:13 he had to run away he probably wanted to yeah they also had the car called The Yugo that was really popular cuz it was affordable true it's very badly rated actually but it's how many door was it yeah like three it was a hatchback yeah also grass takes a really long time to grow over that land so probably fit a lot of things in that trunk huh so just talking about the story of this guy right his name is Jerry Shuster he does he's not complicit he doesn't like that people are breaking his ████ and going through this like area that's crazy um so this is what happened to him so he would find people on the property uh once they cross over they sometimes camp and then they'll burn his trees for like warmth God ████ damn it so like one time he went out there and he asked them to stop like there's more fences than that after you cross over and they like breaking the fence burning his trees he asked them to stop and then they came

5:03 and surrounded him so then uh so then he got his gun and shot into the air and then he got arrested I heard about this guy yeah oh ████ okay they ended up releasing him but They confiscated his gun which was why can't shoot in the air what state is he in Texas Texas yeah I can't believe they would do such a thing over there so uh Jerry estimates they asked him like how many uh migrants crossed the border or Cross or his backyard yeah his basically's yard how many of them cross every week and he he estimates it at about 3,000 a week his backyard oh we just his like popular area right next to that hole his yard on Tik Tok and then uh that's how many views this video gets in the first 5 minutes that's how many migrants be clicking that's right he needs to get

5:54 like ████ four German Shepherds or something do you think as an immigrant himself he's like he has no compassion for them cuz he's like I came the legal way you did it yeah he came from a fake country yep exist anymore I'm sure it was pretty tough for him too yeah damn poor guy man I know it's really it's really sad that uh that he can't really do anything about it um he can get arrested for it he can do that firing a gun in the air is a thing though he can't even ████ sell his house cuz on Zillow it's going to be like there's a smuggle hole in the back which you going to you know make it sound nice like damn a great hole for entries in the backyard that's crazy quick access to Mexico yeah yeah yeah Mexico Stones throw away private gateway to Mexico what if he set up a little like water and fruit shop on the way in

6:44 that's a lot of foot track should not bad sell some Waters but what if they just surround him again and steal it hey what about like some USA merch that' be this is what he looks like you guys want to know platform oh Chinese the post we found had step-by-step instructions for hiring Smugglers and detailed directions that we visited Dam dude a bunch of Chinese kids it's all Chinese just how orderly and routine it all damn barish are relatives man about a half mile down a dirt road and waited inorder to arrive they look rich how much property do you have here the land they are waiting on is owned by 75-year-old Jerry Schuster a retiree the whole world seems to know there's a way in and it's on your property they're all doing this they're all doing this when

7:34 they come over here they come with the suitcases they come prepare with the computers just like they got off on Norwegian cruise ship yesterday damn he said it's like they're coming off a Norwegian CR they got neck pillows that's ████ crazy man they don't look poor I mean it's $400 a person SM right so you're like you bring in a family of ████ four that's 1600 you got to have money so like he was I guess there's a thing where there are like people who would will travel like through different countries to finally arrive at that spot but then there's also a ton of people who fly directly just just to the hole how you going to get dropped off into the hole well there's a um if you R the video there's a $400 you go to this like van service and they'll take you there um like there's a private pickup every

8:25 30 minutes like a small airport wow you can't like go to Home Depot get some materials and fix the that's the thing I don't think he's allowed to like do that damn so like um so what he did was he complained to the obviously like he tried to complain and like and told them about the hole and then they told him that uh that's that's not a it's not their job to like fix the thing border patrol said that and and he also can't put up more fence cuz there's probably some weird law like if you're if your property line is shared with another country or something like you probably can't put a like cinder block blocks up or something yeah so he said this is what he said he goes uh he asked border patrol to patch it up and they said that you have to contact Washington DC which he did and then they responded and said it's on the list of things to do but first they need to get the funding from Congress to do it wow oh

9:17 he's got to get Congress together okay so we blame Congress now maybe so all he needs to do is get Congress in a group chat yeah what's up everybody what's going on what's happen this ████ is wild bro you can't even build a fence on property him but then he yeah so he tries to build he tries to put other fences but they it just gets broken like it doesn't matter there's 3,000 people a week coming through man like and it's all those Chinese tourists that surrounded him you know you think it's like cartel guys with gold guns and it's just a bunch of Chinese people with roller bags saying hey don't shoot your gun man there's a kids around here I guess that's why it's a funny like when he points that out it kind of puts a different SP on it cuz like they're on their phones like all of them they roller bags it's not like what you imagine as just like that family in the silhouette holding the kids it's not

10:08 that it doesn't seem like family seeking a better life it seems like people like are in a good life going on a life ████ Texas Adventure or something and Mexico just said we're going to talk about this later when we dos here Mex Mexico just said we're not going to take them back all right send them back we're not taking them all right cuz then they just ruled that Texas can but then they fli that that same night they ruled that Texas uh can have their their police arrest people to come in and the second they ruled it that same night they they overturned it cuz uh they needed to question the constitutionality of it and Mexico is like we're not taking people we're not taking them back so basically it still goes to the same so they're just going to they're going to hang out Mr yugoslavia's yard for ████ 10 years cuz they're just stuck in the middle no no no no they overruled it so people are still going through Texas no they're going to hang out in Mr yugoslavia's

10:59 yard yeah the place that doesn't exist it's not real we we did talk about how they um like for Chinese migrants who or Asylum Seekers who come in they're they can't go back to China because even the China don't want them yeah they China won't allow them leave them there so they kind of end up in this like stasis everybody don't want them but they get free housing but they but but see the thing is that's different is that I guess like for the longest time Chinese immigrants were pretty good at like community and kind of like they kind of make it you know like come on over yeah but then now Chinese like it's enough that's American Chinese are like get out of here yeah no even American Chinese are like no more fully staffed I'm not saying anything about
