4:47Now PlayingAccording to new reports, American citizens are traveling in droves across our southern border to get better, and cheaper, medical care than they’d be able to get here in the United States. But rather than trying to build a wall to keep us out, Mexico is welcoming us with open arms in order to bring in more money and more commerce to their cities. Our country is losing money as a result, and Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why this matters.

Donald trump told us recently on twitter that there's actually two caravans. There's two immigrant caravans coming through Mexico headed towards the United States to now the last one fizzled out. The one before that fizzled out, but totally believable that there's now two different caravans, I guess maybe racing each other towards the US border to see who can get here first. I don't know how the Hell it works. All I know is that they don't even exist, so sure. Why not speculate that there's this big multimillion person race coming towards the US border, but here's the thing. Immigration is actually a real issue, right? We, we, we do have problems with our immigration system. One of the biggest problems is that we're blocking children in cages and separating them from their parents and then oops, losing their parents, or worse, we're just letting the kids die. To me, that's the biggest immigration issue, but here's the thing.
It works both ways, right? Because it's not just people coming from the southern border into the United States. We have plenty of people, in fact, thousands of people per day going from the us into Mexico, parking their cars in the United States than walking across the border into Mexico and do you know why they're doing that? Well, according to new reports, we've got thousands of people leaving the us to go to Mexico on a daily basis to seek cheaper quality healthcare. So while government officials, the trump administration, they're sitting here demonizing Mexico as this hell hole, which is actually a nicer phrase than what the president has used in the past. They're horrible. They're awful. They're all drug dealers, rapists, killers, whatever they are. And then the American public is like, Oh, I hate those immigrants. Hey, you want to go down to Mexico and get some dental work done?
It's 80 percent cheaper down there. You want to go buy some prescription drugs? We can't afford to buy them in the US. So it's either we hopped the border and purchase them or we don't get them. That's literally what's happening every single day with thousands of people here in the United States according to the new report. And if you'd like to check out the report for yourself, I encourage you to do so. You can find the link in the description of this video. It is well worth the read. But here's the thing, again, we are demonizing not just the people that come over here, but the entire country. I mean basically everything south of the United States right now is being demonized by the current administration. And yet they're obviously doing something better. They're doing something better and a lot of it has to do with dental care and prescription drugs.
