And I get to El Salvador, and I'm like, okay, where are the migrants at?
I'm trying to join a caravan.
I'm talking to locals, because I speak fluent Spanish.
And they're like, oh, we don't have migrants here.
I'm like, what do you guys mean?
This is, like, perfect spot for the map for them to cross over.
They're like, no, we don't have them here.
Yeah, I was like, what's going on?
And they're like, wait, they're like, we actually have people coming back from America.
I'm like, what's going on?
And then everyone starts telling me about Naive Ukele and about Secot.
And so I get there, my whole entire video had to shift.
And I make a video about how this country has kind of solved illegal migration.
And I ended up interviewing one of the mayors.
And from there, I just kept being super persistent about messaging any account I could possibly get my hands on to on X that had anything to do with the government.
If I could just find somebody to give me that contact to then message to go and decide what I got.
And eventually, just some random person said, this is the number of the secretary.
And I messaged the press secretary of El Salvador, and she said, oh, no, not right now.
Message me again in a month.
Messaged her again.
