What an amazing beginning to Josh on the Street! This past week I have been overwhelmed by all the love and positive feedback from so many inspirational people. I am truly humbled by all the kind words and support. 
The Immigration Check Point video has recorded over 18,000 views on YouTube and counting! Again, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. It seems like the video really struck a chord with folks who appreciate that this is a complex issue, and the simple narrative of “Good Guys vs. Bad Guys” just doesn’t fit.
I already have some ideas percolating as to a follow-up video. Please stay tuned, and thanks for joining me on this journey.
In the meantime, here are a couple of my favorite comments posted on the Immigration Check Point video on Youtube:
“It’s to show us that no one is entitled to this land mass except Native Americans.
It is to remind us that this country was founded by illegal immigrants, and built by immigrants who were legal, under the laws made by the anchor babies of the illegal immigrants.
It’s really to show us how we are children on the playground, trying to kick other kids out of the sandbox that we don’t fucking own in the first place, and how weak and pathetic that is.”
“I live in AZ, and I have all 27 years of my life, and I’m white.
I don’t see an illegal immigration problem. I see a war on drugs problem, and a problem with our naturalization process.
No immigrant, legal, or illegal has ever affected me in ANY WAY.
So why are other people so concerned?
Because soon, AZ might have more Hispanics than whites, and let’s be honest-that is a tragedy to a lot of people, so they’re trying to do something.
Grow some balls and be honest.”
Awesome work, Josh! It is people like you who make me proud to be an American.
As a Indigenous person I love the video, thanks for not falling trap to being a white privileged male, gives me hope.
Well done! We need more creative, intelligent, active people like you on the streets in the US! Keep up the great work!
Josh, thanks for dropping some knowledge in a thoughtful, creative, and funny way!
I’ve shared your “Immigration Checkpoint” video with a lot of people and the reactions range from “wish I would have thought of that,” to “that’s funny and a little sad” to “give that man a show!”
I hope someone comes along and gives you loads of funding, so you can keep doing what you clearly love.
Kudos on a great video!
Greetings from Bellingen, NSW, Australia. Fantastic! I have shared this with my mob. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for posting the vid! After seeing your video I decided to post my song “arizona” about what was going on.
Then when i got lots of really over the top hateful messages, I saw you had them too and that made me feel good!
Thanks again
Beautiful song!! Folks really need to check it out and pass it on!
