The dark history of "gasoline baths" at the border

It takes scary history to teach what happened, it takes vox news to bend the story to make it racist.

Timely 4 years later thank you Vox!

This is terrible and history is terrible. Our modern laws and social values totally reject all of this. I wonder if you were born in that day how you might perceive this. It’s disgusting, now that we know.

So what do you want. Try to stop disease? Maybe if they to stop COVID ?

Thank you for doing this.

Wow. Why did the US wait so long to protect its borders and restrict immigration to the best qualified and socially responsible? Was it because population had grown?

Vox=Propaganda. Shame on Vox.

Man! The more I learn, the more tragedies get placed in my heart. Historians must relive countless acts of brutal tactics. These are unforgettable pieces of our past, present and warnings for the future.

The U.S. government has been the villain in so many stories but ppl refuse to believe and when we try to expose the truth we’re called liars and extremists. Evil rules this world.

My grandpa was a bracero and he never complained never played the victim. He worked and surpassed the expectations of those trying to oppress him.

Now we have immigrants coming in with many motives and we need to filter through them. If people have disease I don’t believe they should be allowed in our country. It’s not racism it’s smart.

Build the wall

is america actually a democratic nation??

They are still targeting immigrants today. Not much has changed yall this isn’t history… what do y’all think happens at ICE centres…

Don't let them in

And after that came the Holocaust, the Japanese cruelty toward Americans in Japan and the Japanese cruelty of America against their japanese citizens. Came an atomic holocaust, PolPot holocaust against his own people... please, when we humans will stop being monsters

Remember Francisco Villa came across the border in 1916 at Columbus, NM. The border of the U S and Mexico have been a haven for criminal activity for three hundred years.

BASED 👌🏻

We at so point have reduce the amount of immigrants coming here

First of all .. this documentary started with “… In Those days the border was open and no passports were needed to cross over ..” these are different times now. The latest statistics are that only 10% of immigrants that want to come in illegally and have been for the past few years, are actually Mexican. Also… who is going to pay for them. The United States isn’t against immigration…. It’s illegal immigration that is wrong. I married a Mexican woman from Monterrey Mexico. I spent over $4,000 to LEGALLY fix all of her documentation to allow her to enter this country and marry. I had absolutely no problem with that. Immigration officials and workers were extremely courteous to both of us. She is now an engineer working here. She stands up and places her right hand over her heart when we attend an event where the National Anthem is played. There’s nothing wrong with people from other countries coming here …. But I’m against illegal immigration… and these wicked practices mentioned, that were used in the past regarding the United States.

VÍVAAA LA RAZA SIEMPRE. 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

SHARE, LIKE, RETWEET, PASS ALONG.....

wait till you find out democrats did this

It's about white nationalism today, nothing has changed since 1917.

Evil fallen psychotic humanity is about to implode and collapse again.

So most people in the comments here are mad they made Mexicans take a bath if they had lice??

Great history lesson here. But why would a democrat, Thomas Lea, enforce such inhuman policies?

The racist history of the United States is disgusting that will never change and many of those people pride themselves on being that way, they voted for a disgusting person like Trump for example

When are we going to stand up....are we going to still let them treat us like animales....we need huevos...

As a Mexican racism is always going to be part of America history.

How much of this was also common to Americans anyway? I’m sure at Ellis Island there was a version of shame.

This kinda stuff hearts my heart.

well good, reseach Crimes by Illegal Immigrants Widespread Across U.S.—Sanctuaries Shouldn’t Shield Them! before you start feeling sorry for these people!

Immigration inspectors were looking for trachoma, which causes irreversible blindness (i.e. that person would be likely to become a public charge), not pink eye.

It's not the media it's the people not wanting to learn about these topics they love to watch political drama. It brings views and money to the politicians and media conglomerates, so why would they change.

Terrible history and very informative video. But the science around DDT is inconclusive

That’s it. As a person of Mexican descent, I’m not standing up for the pledge of allegiance anymore

I AM THE 98TH THOUSAND LIKE ON THIS VIDEO GOD BLESS MY PEOPLE 🇲🇽💯

A country isn’t responsible for other countries citizens

Your smart I would love for you to ask for reparations for the Mexican I want you to contact Gov Nudson😊

How many people do you think came on boat's from Spain

Whitwashing is the most shameful aspect of American history... and current Republican culture

They only teach Whats convenient to them.

I’ve never heard about this. This is why educating yourself is so important. This is so disgusting and disappointing

Idiotism.

Who were those poor men that were publically executed?:( The world should know their names aswell

As a Mexican this is heartbreaking to learn about. Especially because my grandpa might’ve been in that program to provide for his family. I am on the verge of tears just thinking about what my people go through

To say I'm mad is an understatement!!! I knew a little about how horrible Mexicans were treated. Never knew this!!! Going through so much and yet still sign up to go into world war for a country that thought of them as pest!!! Black and brown have gone through such horrible treatment by the US!!! Black love Brown Pride ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
