Carlos Macias arrived with a group of deportees from the United States on Jan 22 in Tijuana. Macias had been living in Colorado for 10 years working as a house painter and sending financial support to his parents and siblings in Mexico.
They said the US authorities were hunting them and making checkpoints as the new Donald Trump administration ordered the military would dispatch 1,000 additional active-duty troops to the Mexico-US border.

00:00This is a story about a man who lost his life in a car accident in Mexico City.
00:07He was in the middle of the road when he was hit by a car.
00:15Hey!
00:17It's sad for my family, for my mom, for my dad, for my brothers.
00:23I have a brother who is sick. He was hit by a car.
00:26I couldn't help him or support him.
00:29There are many people who really need help.
00:32They bring us tied up as if we were the worst.
00:35But arriving here in San Diego, at the airport in San Diego,
00:38according to them, they tell us that they are going to take away our wives because we have behaved well.
00:42And from there, they take us to the truck.
00:44But with all the transport, they bring us tied up.
00:47Yes, they are hunting us.
00:49In fact, they are coming out and they are grabbing them in churches.
00:53They are doing checkpoints.
00:56They are going to start with San Diego and from there they are going to move to Colorado.
01:00Right now, the situation there is very difficult for the whole family.
01:05Those who don't have papers are scared to go to work, to drive.
01:10And if you don't have transport, then how are you going to support your family?
01:14Look, I say that there are people who really commit crimes, right?
01:18And there are people who have been living there for years.
01:22And I really say that those people should have an opportunity to do something.
01:28Not be reported just like that.
01:31And the way they treat us and the way they bring us is a very ugly way.
01:49I have two brothers there and I wanted to be there.
01:54One, because of the issues we are going through, the insecurities of our country.
01:58And I think it is the only country that gives us more, how can I say, more security, right?
02:08And also to be with the family and to give a better future to my children.
02:12To study, for example, because in my country it is very difficult to study.
02:17And I do it more for my children, to have a better future.
02:21I think there are many people who have been waiting for a long time.
02:24And I think it is bad that there is, for example, the cancellation of the appointments that were already scheduled.
02:29And I do understand that they have canceled the application, right?
02:33But I think that the appointments should not have been ...
02:36Because there are many people who really do need it.
02:39And we travel for quite difficult reasons.
02:43Almost all of us, I think, go through many things when we come from our country.
02:48Everything has been complicated.
02:49From the beginning, from the farm, until now that I am here waiting to be able to pass.
02:55But right now I am a little nervous with what we have just seen,
02:59that they canceled the issue of the appointment.
03:01Because now Donald Trump is going to receive the presidency.
03:04The truth is, there are so many things that cross us.
03:10The truth is that we do not know what the reality of things is.
