has put stress on the hearts

of all the people

who aren't hot enough to get

into America on a modeling visa.

So I started asking,

"How do the people

who actually live on the border

feel about all this?"

Do they want

an even bigger wall?

And if I did a free

show at a public park,

right in front of the existing

fence, will the locals show up,

or would many be too

scared to come out

for fear of being rounded

up -- or roasted.

Because for many, this

issue is no joke.

More people cross over illegally

here than anywhere else

along America's 2,000-mile

border.

So our government

built this fence

through Brownsville a decade ago

to keep the strangers out.

It hasn't worked.

They still come...

Man:
Three-oh-four, go ahead.

Man:
I have two individuals

walking up to me.

Ross:
...any way they can.

Man:
They probably

rafted them across.

Yeah.

Ross:
As we waited

for Border Patrol,

the constables helped me

use my broken Spanish

to welcome two people

into the country.

Get your filming

now because when

we call Border Patrol,

we put the cameras down.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

Hey, bud.Hola.

They're from El Salvador.

From El Salvador? Yes.

They're going to New York.

I'm going to New York.

They're going to go

see Donald Trump.

This your son?

Yes. Yeah, see?

Hola, buddy. Hola.

Me llamoJeff.

Just crossed a minute ago.

They split the children up,

that way there's no

immediate deportation.

Smart. Yeah.

How do you feel?

Are you nervous? What

are you feeling?

[ Interpreting in Spanish ]

What's the violence

like in your home?

[ Interpreting in Spanish ]

Now what happens?

We'll call Border Patrol

and they'll take them

and transport them.

Where will they sleep tonight?

They'll be at Border

Patrol tonight.

What's that, like, a jail?

It is what it is, you know?

Of course.

No. No.

He's brave, man, brave man.

Okay.

Yeah.

Buena suerte. Good luck.

Welcome.

Ross:
What a kick in the balls.

One of the most exciting

moments of their lives

was also so demeaning.

You don't think they're

going to get sent back

tonight or tomorrow?

Man:
I doubt it very seriously.

Do you ever worry about people,

or try to follow their stories?

Is that even possible?

I can't worry myself about that

because the next day

I'm going to be meeting

somebody else just like him.

I'll take you

over here, but we're

going to be real quiet,

and we're going to stay

kind of out of sight.

We're going to see where

they launch from.

There's Mexico, right there.

There's the river and the river.

You see how well-worn

that track is right there?

Yeah. They're carrying

the rafts down.

They'll raft everybody across.

They drop them here, and then
