Seeking asylum: An immigrant's journey to America | CBS Reports



America’s border is seen by many as the dividing line between a fearful past and a safer, better future. CBS Reports followed Iranian migrant Shahab as he crossed the jungle passes of the Darién Gap, and now joins him once again as he enters America. Having risked life and limb to reach the United States, his future is no less uncertain. This documentary was first published on June 8, 2018.

  1. Let's load up, get a free phone with service, free housing, free medical and a free check. Thank you American taxpayers. Thanks to our politicians we can't even take care of our veterans and homeless. Nice job.

  4. I’m sorry as much as their stories are sad or whatever. We’re in no position to save the world. Everyone expects free healthcare and handouts when they come here. We need to fix our own country first before taking on charity work.

  5. CBS can play their fair share and corporate CBS can house plenty of them.
    Right CBS ?
    You have been ignoring this for the last 24 + months
    Why now?
    Why not before where you told by the administration to ignore it?
    Why pay taxes when the government does not or refuse to do its job and maintain border sovereignty?

  6. In case anyone forgot, America was built by immigrants. And America needs immigrants in order to keep building. Power is in numbers. We’re a militant country, and 30 percent of our US Military are people with immigrant families. Not to mention the hundreds of thousand of businesses that depend on immigrant workers such as our farming and agriculture industry. If you don’t want immigrants in the US than you don’t want the advantage, the power that comes in numbers. It would be catastrophic if we kicked out every immigrant. Be grateful we have resources and plans to welcome immigrants so that our country can continue to prosper. Instead of focusing your energy on hate and difference, let’s teach our kids and rethink our prejudices. This world needs more love and care. If you’re reading this from a thousand dollar iPhone in the USA, than you have the resources to read and learn about what it takes to become the most powerful country. Hate will always lose and your God knows this.

  8. We need to start sharing the wealth and start sending them to UN countries world wide. They come here, they get on a plane, and find out the destination on arrival. Imagine how thrilled the Chinese will be to receive slaves airmail.

  9. This doesn't have to keep going on.. Biden and his Administration are allowing it and doing everything to keep the border wide open.. This is Treason for allowing a full scale invasion of our country.. Send them to prison
