Here's our first episode covering the ongoing crisis at the U.S./Mexico Border.

We begin our coverage by investigating the allegedly 'closed' port of entry in Gringo Point, AZ, and speak with a few migrants of Mexican origin. 

In the latter part of the episode, we encounter a strange old friend who points us in the direction of a migrant processing center hidden in the Sonoran Desert. 

I don't want to spoil it too much - but I hope you guys find this series to be informative. This is the kick-off to a very extensive border series which will involve coverage in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and ultimately across the border in Mexico -- where we befriended Cartel coyotes who smuggled us illegally back into America. 

Best,

AC

21st century journalism right here. Incredible

Kenty

And also a great, nuanced look at the border without the right wing xenophobia that far too often comes with this topic

Elpidio Vega

Andrew you are the SHIT.

Oliver Bieser

i’m glad you’re covering this topic andrew. i always feel ill-informed and have never been able to take stance that satisfies me.

Ashleytundra

As a Mexican myself I’m glad you ate covering this . We love you ❤️

mabohls

Insane the amount of rare insights you're able to get your hands is what keeps us here! Ty AC Cant wait for next episode. Really though that guy was almost bs'ing about the migrants.

Rolando Mota

Andrew invited to the carne asada

adrian houston

It truly is a small world. Bring us exclusive story that most journalists are agenda driven or bought off, Here you are risking getting arrested. What are the odds that you'd run into the same guy that was going to area? Fifty one was working with the border patrol. I hope for both him and your sake this doesn't get you arrested. I don't know if that guy is going to get epstien'd after this. We need to pray for him.

Graham Smith

Dude, this is the stuff.

Paige Henderson

That being the same guy is absolutely hilarious

ajt Awesome

No shot that’s the Area 51 guy 🤣🤣

Kaylee Rose

continuously producing bangers

Lorenzo Gentile

Wow that shot at the end made my jaw drop

Zig

WTF is crazy white dude from your Area 51 video, doing at the same exact border crossing that you found yourselves filming at, years after first meeting him at Area 51??? 😳🤔🥴

Pete Franzen

Damn dude, this is going to be a great series. I can't believe the streak you're on with San Francisco, Kensington, and now this. I'm in Phoenix and I'm peripherally aware of what's going on down there but it's eye-opening to see your footage. Thanks for looking at all of these situations with so much compassion.

Daniel Weaver

Glad to see this first hand without the sensationalization of current media

TrippyCheesy

Thank you for taking the time to cover this and to your team for their hard work always

Jennifer

Watch Adam Conover and how the u.s. gov uses the migrants for child labor. It's sad. They are people who want to escape cartel exploitation for a regular life but then get exploited by the u.s. gov when they get here. They strip them of their identity. Wow this sounds familiar.....

Zach Launey

Nice work, AC + Crew! I look forward to the rest of the series.

Sean

Awesome work as usual Channel 5. Though, I am not convinced that is the same guy from the area 51 video. They seem to have different jaw structures and noses, as well as a different accent to my ear. This guy seems to have legitimate knowledge on the subject and backed up his claim. Can't wait for part 2 and 3!

Gerald Adams

That 5 on Drew arm looks real nifty #freecripmac

Ian McNabb

Banger dude

Gavin

Crazy you keep running into recurring characters. C5verse goes hard

Gerald Adams

Crazy journalism skills. Y’all are killin it

Arham Nezami

When did u learn Spanish wtf

Kenzie

Coincidence or meticulous planning for Area 51 dude to be the same guy tipping off Andrew in both videos. He knows something. Also wearing shades in both to hide his identity. I smell a whistleblower

Kenzie

Absolute hard hitting journalism. A main source of reality in a world full of clickbait. Bravo.

Jeremy

I’m looking forward to more interviews with the migrants. Hearing that little man wants to study agricultural engineering did something weird to my brain. Increased empathy? I feel like it’s so easy to discount people when we don’t get to hear their stories. Great work C5. Best name in the game ✋🏼

Victor van wassenhove

I mean its not the same to welcome families, than to welcome solo males of 25 plus years old

Sam Louback

I'm so glad I support Channel 5. Andrew you're a national treasure.

Chris

So this just kind of inadvertently confirmed aliens

wow the area 51 guy coming back, crazy, cant wait for more

mike ayers

Great topic. This is the only Patreon channel I support. I know it’s honest reporting 👍

Eli Kloft

NO WAY did you meet up with alien guy again thats so freaking funny

Mike C

This is the good kush

Tony Lavrenov

Def not the same guy from the Area 51 vid. But otherwise great stuff as always

viviana

keep up the good work andrew!

oli.sandberg16@gmail.com

I don’t know if that is the same guy. Different faces and his hair is greyer in the earlier vid

Christopher Thomas

So if he wasn't lying at the boarder then..... that is a very serious man

Paddy MeBoy

America needs this information. Thanks C.

Amye Eli

The best

Demarcus

I was a ride or die leftist when it came to immigration but after seeing your work, peter santanella, and bald and bankrupt. I have a completely new outlook on it now. I don't believe in Gatekeeping the country but we need figure out a better way of handling this. Could you imagine living in a border town with all this happening in your back yard.

Nick willus

Ares 51 guy had tiny mouth, Camp location knowing guy did not have as tiny a mouth

Austin

It wouldn't be a Channel 5 video without a special cameo

Riley

This guy is an expert on all kinds of aliens

Jonathan Dotson

i think this is the most important journalism that not enough people care about. Off the cuff interviews with border patrol and migrants, showing us the real up close environment that these people are really dealing with, discovering a large number of african immigrants entering as well. Amazing work, this piece will be remembered. Also free CripMac

Oskar

CJNG bro holding a whole ass 1919 MG by the barrel shroud lmao

Oskar

"I wonder if the American Dream propaganda... if thats actually true." Haha no shit Andrew xD. but for real thx as always for giving a voice to the voiceless.

Andrew Boryk

Andrew, you are on your top tier of journalism. San Fran, Philly and now this, are all incredible. Really impressed with your evolution from AGNB to the character driven Channel 5 (which was always entertaining with Hoff Twins, Crip Mac, Kelly J Patriot, Chet Hanks) to this new era for Channel 5 that is journalism at its finest and highly educational without filter

Chandana Rao

Definitely not the same guy

J G

what!?

channel5

it has to be. lurking on the peripheral outskirts of federal land .. amping me up ..

Mark Anderson

There's another one of these "secret processing centers" in the Jacumba desert in Southern California. Andrew, really hope that you can get in contact with some non-profit orgs like Al Otro Lado to discuss this issue.

Greg

this is unbelievable work, actually is the best content on the internet

BCL

holy shit this "border patrol"/"area 51 passerby" glows. and I mean that in the central intelligence agency way. wtf are the odds

S Van

This is incredible content, Andrew is a natural alternative-media journalist.

S.C. Bellenchia

The fluent Spanish caught me off guard in the best way

Greg

i trust your judgement but surely he would have said somthing to you like "Hey we spoke at area 51", with peace and luv a guy with your hair interviewing with a mic is very memorable

T Mac

Amazing, Andrew. Keep up the good work! This is the only Patreon I support :)

Plainfieldghoul

Anyone know of any content like this based in Australia?

Jaymoe

Will the Kelly J Patriot documentary ever be released?

Jake Lee

Great job! I’m really interested to hear more interviews with the immigrants to better understand their experiences. Also I bet at least one of them tienen fuego bars

SilverClaw RunningRiver

Hey Andrew, tell us how it smelled in the camp at the end of the video? Are these people being allowed decency in their body odor? I noticed a huge porta-potti at the end. Those are not fun to go in

Ricky Gudino

Excellent work channel 5 crew! Excellent interviews and excellent cinematography. I can't wait to see the next one!

Giraffe X

I usually don't bite with these conspiracy theorist types, But man, Dude proved to be 1 for 2, Maybe he really did go inside Area 51 and actually saw some shit....

Sam Daou

The repeating phenomenon of accidental return characters is the best thing about this channel

Max Nein

I'm genuinely in awe of your work, Andrew. Thank you for contributing to humanity.

C. hick

dang dude

homebrew901

Leftists should educate them on why America is so racist and evil.

702tdog

Did it seem like the white box truck was parked there just to block the view? Or was that just coincidence? I can't see if there was anyone actually in the cab. Also this is one of the most amazing pieces of journalism I have ever seen. I'm so shocked at many aspects of this video.

homebrew901

That guy you interviewed at Area 51 and in his car must be a Fed following you and using you for an agenda. This video feels like a psyop

homebrew901

Dude is definitely a fed. Probably there as an observer at Area 51 and led Andrew to the processing center. Otherwise wtf is he doing there at that abandoned checkpoint.

Jaime Nudd

Yeah, it doesn't seem like the same guy. The voice and demeanor is very different. 🤔

Jaime Nudd

Whoever comes to America, I hope they don't fall into the devastation and decay of our cities as shown in the previous San Fran and Philly episodes. The American dream got laced and cooked it seems. This country feels as if on a ledge. Our own citizens don't have clean water, healthcare, or income security. Our imports are cheap trash and planned obsolescence tops off landfills and oceans. Mass school shootings show a deep hopelessness in the souls of the young ones picking up those guns. It's hard not to see a decayed future. It's hard to imagine a free people. The creeping authoritarian corruption in our political system grows by the day, both nationally and globally. Man, I am depressed about it all. I can't see the hope. I can't see the silver. Dark clouds, dark clouds. The evil in this world seems to only be gaining power, not shrinking. What is a heart supposed to do? It's all so heavy.

Le Lion

How fucking unusual is it to be interviewing the same guy 5 years later about something completely different but both being very secured places? I don't know what to make of that

Nico

@Le Lion -- probably the Aliens planned it

Jason Rickard

amazing stuff. if you ever need help or food for you or your team while in Kansas hit me up. we are probably a long way down the list of interesting stories to cover but you travel a lot. sincere offer as I wish I could support this work more.

Ejazzle

You should start trying to get more peoples names from the random interviews and start your channel 5 character database. Not saying for on screen, just for your (channel 5's) records.

Ejazzle

WTF nothing about illegally crossing the border should be fun. They will be just fine using portapotti's.

Chris Pyle

slick con el Español

David

Como sabe hablar español el wey 💯

Oskar

its supposed to be a mounted MG, there's one mounted in the armored pickup behind him. good luck aiming a 30+lb gun with any accuracy. will make hella noise tho

Kevin Duhamel

The last scene is incredible. I wish the best for those family. Its so stupid to say that the migrant are the one bringing fentanyl in the US 🤦🏼‍♂️ They’ve crossed with nothing else but clothes .

Clare McKernan

holy shit andrew!! incredible

Sebastian

I’ve been paying attention to the border issue since childhood. I have my father’s family from Mexico and my wife’s family from Mexico so this issue is always present in my life. I’ve been paying attention to it since 2000. There’s been great reports on the border in the past but not in last decade plus… Man I’m blown away here. I feel like I got some confirmation on somethings I believed to be true. It’s a long time since I’ve heard both migrant and BP perspectives at the same time. Can’t wait for the next video. This why I decided to subscribe on an annual basis today.

Liam Kelly

Hit em with the español, good job AC. Looking forward to the following episodes, this is a huge story.

Supreme_Skywalker

Great video but you should really blur out the children’s faces. Even talking ill about the Cartel can get them in trouble

miles_mena3

The shock i felt when I saw those hundreds of migrants at the holding center was wild!

Luke Savage

Brooo we need part 2 ASAP. As always, you’re killing it Andrew. Some of the best modern day journalism out there.

BCL

mannerisms and the way he tightens his lips after finishing a thought are practically identical. same ears lobes, same nose, he just looks like he aged. and for some reason he put on an accent for the area 51 interview. this guy comes across as a fed.

homebrew901

The lukeville crossing reopened this morning it was in the news

Oakoka

Love that twist you threw for us

Kevin

Thats 100% not the same guy

Andrew R

You’re right the second guy is probably older by 5 years too

Zach Miller

Is nobody else shitting bricks about the Area 51 guy

B. G.

Good piece of journalism !! Woahhh

Brett Moore

agree... aliens guy had an accent. They look similar but not the same.

channel5

Nah. To keep it real, the Cartel is the one who transports 99% of these people for a fee. They encourage the migrants to speak on narco-violence, as it helps their case for asylum. That doesn’t mean the migrants are ‘lying’ per-se, but the Cartel coaches them to use the ‘we are being extorted’ narrative whenever questioned.

Jonas Le Loup

I don't get, why it is claimed, that this should be the same guy as in the Area 51 interview....it is obviously not! Is this some ironic joke, because u suspected it to be another conspiracy theory?

Dasloops

Really don't think they're the same guy but ok, guess we just roll with random claims here

Nolan Wilder

amazing. cant wait to see where this leads

Miki

So informative again. I’m so glad I joined here, seeing things super important. Thank you for another finest work that makes us think a lot. Can’t wait to see the next episode!

David Miller

Do you mean it's the same dude literally or figuratively?

Andrew's spanish is awesome, didn't expect that

Moriah

Props on the Spanish! Excited for the rest

skevin

great ep. I hope you go to Nogales next. 🤞 super excited for the next ep in this series. ps- def not the same guy. missing the mole on the left nostril, no?

victor

What the fuck

Z

wen part 2?

LincolnLogAdam

Crazy coverage as always, Andrew. Thank you.

Joseph Beaudoin

thanks andrew and crew for your work. very interested to learn more. stay safe

EJ

Looking forward to this series

Wizard

Andrew! The fcking GOAT, actually going down to the boarder to interview migrants! Taking the time to learn to speak espanol fluently! I have so much respect for you man. The independent journalism, your so important for society. Keep doing what your doing, your helping a lot of people see the truth.

Mario Zamudio

I’d honestly prefer to wait longer for videos, rather than have them cut into parts. Regardless I’ll always support. But, that ending left me with a shitty feeling. Thank you for all that you guys do! To think no one but you has done any coverage of this camp is crazy.

Music Colin

cliff hanger .... wow , this is mind blowing

Ethan Hamilton

Me before watching: ok let’s see what’s going on with the border Me after watching: ALIENS ARE REAL??

Mr. Smith

Man this is going to take some processing. The things that are going on around this country, at the government behest no less, it's mind blowing to state it simply

Frost

Can't wait for the rest, that ending...It's so unfortunate. It's causing so much generational trauma and contempt.

heatmiser

wild ending. looking forwarding to the rest of the series.

Reeves a

yo bro can u just yanno, post the rest of the videos already

screeeeees

just do it like canada - point system based on age, education, work experience.

Ryan Todd

holy shit. aliens are in area 51; legit!

Omar Brah

I live in PHX, didn’t even know this was happening

Jacob

I really do not think that is the same guy. The Area 51 guy seemed insane. That guy seemed like a real cop… the info he gave you was good, and what he said was nothing crazy. Tons of people are reporting the same.

Zachary Smith

Lol the amount of raw footage he has is immense. And he has to match audio and video together. Lots of editing my friend

Zachary Smith

Has to chop them up so ppl don’t drop the patreon bc they aren’t getting content fast enough.

Zachary Smith

Thanks channel 5 this is great journalism!

Magic Plants

That wasn't the same guy

Silvie

things are realll silly rn! :')

Vasco Varelas

Makes you wonder if he was actually bullshiting at the area 51...

b00ber

In California, all of these illegal immigrants are given free healthcare under Medi-Cal. Not sure what other states' Medicaid programs are but it is absolutely crazy.

clair washington

holy shit. that ending stunned my heart. keep exposing these things andrew, you are the people’s person

Adam West

That "off duty cop" was andrew callahagn's cia handler

Dg

Title 42 sounds so reasonable. What is an argument for removal?

Anonymous

Of all ppl to interview you get the same man twice

jonathan troncoso

It expired may 11, 2023. It was a loophole in a law passed for Covid. An actual law would be better.

Clownfucker3000

i'm noided but the guy from A51 is a total fed

typical Ed

Go dam Andrew these videos are phenomenal you got me hyped for the next one

Titus Milan

nice job andrew, some good journalism. loving the spanish too, the hard work is paying off buddy!

Buff Hardback

I dont understand.. is this guy he met really a nut job or is he a fed or is this some sort of operation theyre running to create fake stories and lure journalists away from the main ports of entry to some manufactured.. Thing happening out in the middle of the desert with a bunch of actors? And they just send this guy out to try to add to the realism and believability of it?

peacenluv

does this mean bro was right about area 51 too? hes seen em

Bro

This "It's the same guy from A51!" assumption is smelling too much like entertainment hunting instead of pure journalism which sticks to facts and which clearly flags assumptions when there's no solid proof around. Don't fall for that entertainment shit please! Nearly every "news" media today is craving for that entertainment rush to attract more people. But thats just not how journalism is defined. And since following you from your beginning, thats not what I thought you pursue. Truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability (Wikipedia on ethics and standards in journalism) Still love you man!

Ryan Stiltz

Who would it help to have a detention center in the middle of the desert, obviously not our current administration.

Sweaty Palms

yea what agenda would that be? to reveal the truth on the crisis and allow andrew to humanize these people? if so hes kinda sick

Sweaty Palms

honestly i was surprised too i thought he was gonna loose them on the way there

Carson

american have any idea what leftism is challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Bro

Would be awesome if you actually find proof somehow. :D

Buff Hardback

I'm not sure, but it seems like he was guided away from the actual problem quite effortlessly, and shuttled off to a completely separate, and possibly manufactured scenario, where he could film that instead of the other processing area..

Gustavo

You’re the man Andrew

David Shaw

WILD. When the off duty cop gave the $1B number. I thought 10,000 people/day * 30 days * $3,000 (my estimate which turned out to be accurate from this article https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/african-migrants-in-america/) and it kind of adds up!

Max Hunter

This guy is like the G Man from Half Life

John

Andrew, I was in my home town of San Antonio for Christmas, and there is a processing center less than 3 miles from my families home. There were genuinely hundreds of migrants getting bags of clothes and bus tickets at this location. the line was 3+4 people wide and several hundred feet long. once processed they are seemingly free to go. there was a massive group of migrants congregated outside the facility just sitting around in circles in the parking lot. plenty of interview opportunity here.

J Geyer

I think Andrew just met his assigned CIA agent 🤨🧐

Lame Lade

Andrew is embarrassing mainstream media "journalists" right now. They're gonna find some new allegations if he keeps making them look this bad.

M3thias

Great journalism and much respect on your Spanish ! 😁🫡

Lame Lade

Another comment said "I think Andrew just met his CIA agent" lol.

Lame Lade

The really creepy part is this town is five hundred miles away from Area 51. It's an eight hour drive. And this guy just shows up in both places at the exact moment Andrew is there to tell him there are federal secrets nearby.

Miccalo

This is one of the best vids you've made in awhile, which is wild because they're all good. Thanks for the insight, as ever!

pook

Wow what a cliffhanger! Great reporting

marco

NEED part 2 NOW

Bogdanimal

We need Trump back in office

Antonio Guevara

Goddamn Andrew, your Spanish is great! You have a Latina girlfriend or something? Lol

SanestFlexican

Really good Spanish Andrew, estás invitado a la carne asada 🤝, great reporting thanks for giving a voice to cartel displaced Mexicans and Latin Americans in general 🙏🏽

Vinnie Esposito

Maybe that guy is an Alien. He just has an other worldly sense about himself. Not all aliens are bad (pun intended)

EB6

I'm sure he has bigger fish to fry, but immigrating with braces in makes zero sense

Jesus Christ

Man I wish it was easier for people to immigrate and start a life here. Immigrants make such good fucking food, it's unreal

Pierre Gutierrez

I wish Andrew came to Nogales, I would should him just how fucked this situation is 💀🤣

Etienne Guibert

Thank you for showing this and informing us on these events.

Bryan Rodriguez

Nah that's for sure Andrew's CIA agent that's meant to watch over him

Elyse Monroy

I CANNOT believe he'd already encountered that guy. Thats so crazy.

Fun Guy

Just a heads up, the vast majority of America isn't open air drug markets and homeless people. In fact most cities dont have problems like that. The American dream is alive and well, you just dont hear about it because it doesn't get the hate clicks.

Kiersten Schilinski

I love that it is the same guy. Does he have a Youtube channel? Also I've seen other videos about how the cartel uses foreign mules to smuggle in drugs or they'll drop a bunch of migrants in a dangerous far out place so boarder patrol will have to get them. They'll do that so they can smuggle in narcotics in another section. They're insane.

Jeremy Kasdin

I work in media and this is by far the best journalism our country has at the moment in terms of information, coverage, and the lack of polarizing political agendas dominating the journalism. This channel gives me hope for the future of quality information being accessible through a decentralized means. I can't wait to see what the next 5 years look like. Hell yeah Brother

Paul Gorman

The cop is definitely not the same guy as Area 51, just letting you know

06baby

The reoccurring characters in this show are wild

Dirt Masta

Gonna see crip Mac on part 2 saw cutting the fence I'm sure 😂

Luke

He is not a fed. Just someone interested in government secrets. “Area 51” (Groom Lake) was used to test stealth aircraft and the actual facts show a pattern to hide violations of OSHA and worker safety, like burning toxic chemicals that were tested as stealth materials all in the name of national security.

Matt Bro

Seems like the Area 51 guy comes from the astro-turf.

Etienne Douglas

A billion dollars a month is hard to believe.

y-it

Previously the channel felt like it embellished the 'crazy person' interview for clicks. After the street interviews on crime and addiction the videos feel so much more personal. A more human perspective on trying to understand how we arrived to where we are now, and what is driving people to continue making the history that won't be categorized and detailed until it's effects can be digested by society.

Brandon

i mean obviously, Andrew is literally rich off of street interviews

Margaret Guzzino

but those two guys hardly look alike???

Dominic Stumpo

Homeboy, nobody is saying that. This video is highlighting one of the biggest issues our country is facing and that's what you took out of it?

eh...

Of course they wanna focus only on that, highlighting problems that happened or are happening doesn't fit their narrative that America is perfect. Its why these folks fight to ban books that teach about slavery and the causes of it. They wanna sweep and hide all the issues that happen here out of sight and trolling and shitting on anyone one willing to cover it is their main tactic.

Yak

I don't think you will find any city with population over 100,000 in America that doesn't have a big homeless problem. Certainly not in California. Some places are better than others at sweeping it under the rug (meaning: export the problem to another city) but it's still there.

Yak

Andrew was looking for interviews with the actual migrants as they get in and it was pretty clear they weren't going to get that from the entry point. Seems like the guy was just saying that he could interview the migrants at the other processing place. Seems to have wanted to speak his mind too.

Michael Talavera

you haven't been following very closely if that's what you thought. this channel has been prioritizing real journalism and deeper narratives vs trendy clicks for views and money

Grant Golden

Andrew - In the military, above the table, they call this "moving with a purpose". While, we all know the real term is called "shamming". I also like to all it "Playing it Bogart". If you're reading this, and don't know what I'm talking about - try it sometime. Put on a yellow vest and stand at an intersection.

Gary AJ Warren

Can you name these cities you are speaking of? I travel the country and have been for 6 years, I've been to countless amounts of cities and they are all pretty much the same on the drug snd crime. If you are talking about small towns then sure some seem more quiet, less people. Major cities is what I'm referring to mainly

drex

100% not the same guy lmao

Ryan Grucza

Lmao yeah I’d rather get kidnapped in my house than come to America cuz the American dream is dead
