He further shared some of the consequences immigrants face when they are caught entering US illegally.
"We watch over the American border. I advise anyone planning to travel abroad to use legal means. Don’t let anyone collect your money and later leave you at the Mexico border."
"Because if you use an illegal means to enter America, it could be deadly. If you are caught attempting to enter illegally from the Mexico border, you could lose your life. If you don't lose your life and you are arrested, the ordeal you go through is disheartening. That is why I'm encouraging you to travel only through legal means," American Ninja added.

"I don't know if the person in the video is legit, but I'm very concerned about the comments I'm reading. It's scary, the mindset of those commenting. Corruption and indiscipline are deeply woven into the minds of most black Africans, hence their insults to the guy in the video."

"He’s doing his job, no insults if you want to go there, just pass the legal way, that’s all."

"And who told you to explain it in English?? Has someone sent you to do so??"
@naza_mac wrote:
"See person who was once an immigrant trying to discourage people from using the same route he used because he has found his feet. Anyone who wants to try can still use the Mexico border; nothing will happen to you. You will pass through the screening process, and once your case is settled, you will be accepted."
