Asylum seekers are often fleeing from terror and violence by powerful people and they have the right to the protection of their identity. It's for everyone's safety.
@@trinleywangmo If you really believe the "asylum seeker" narrative, may I suggest you perform a bit of due diligence? You'll quickly discover that what is being perpetrated is entirely engineered, and funded, by our "govern - ment" and certain ngos (the most notable being the one that has its world headquarters on the bank of the East River in NYC). The scheme contradicts long established international law as it pertains to "asylum seekers."

I’m a construction worker in city, worked thru hole pandemic. Didn’t get that free 1200 a week. And since all this started last year work has been taking away from use because the cut road mileage on milling and paving because there using money to feed and house and give free money to migrants. I’ve been laid off and have no work. I don’t get free anything? I feel my life is being destroyed over this. It’s not fair. They just all received prepaid cards with over a thousand each. It’s wrong I’m an independent voter and just feel this hole thing isn’t right. I have kids and a family was born and raised here been paying taxes since I was 14 at my 1st job. I’m 40 and know and can’t pay my bills and my life is being taken from me
You should be blaming the Texas government for doing state sanctioned human trafficking then and not the migrants. They’re doing this on purpose to get people to vote a certain way - it’s clearly obvious. Sadly we don’t have democrats who want to fix this problem but voting Republican certainly will never get this fixed.
Go down to the welfare office And demand some money period I worked for 35 years and then got cancer I got Medicaid and then I made them renew it because if I don't live to get all that Social Security I paid in they are going to pay for something
You aren’t the only one. It is terrible. Tyson foods just laid off 50,000 employees and replaced them with illegals. It is going to happen more and more. It is designed to cause the USA to collapse and it is working.
Get a better job... the economy just added 229,000 in January and 275,000 in February, and expanded by 2.5% in 2023, marking the third straight year of economic growth. Unemployment is at 3.9% marking the 25th straight month in which joblessness has remained below 4%, the longest streak since the 1960s. As Chris Rock said, 'If you're white in America and still poor, -you wasted your whiteness...'💡

Hey Tommy! Dutch guy here, thanks for mentioning us 😂 . The Bronx was named after Jonas Bronck, not a Dutch guy but a Swede who sold his piece of land that was to become the Bronx (or the Broncks' land). Brooklyn however does get it's name from the Dutch as it's named after Breukelen, a small town between Utrecht and Amsterdam. Same goes for Harlem which is named after the city of Haarlem... and that's about all I know 😅
@@OurSpaceshipEarth well, yes, but to be exact, the man who coined the word “apartheid” was an Afrikaner clergyman of the Gereformeerde Nederduitse Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church), Jan Christoffel du Plessis. It was originally a theological term. Not a political one. Du Plessis was a missionary who worked closely with black members of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Orange Free State province. He was disillusioned with the way most white clergymen encouraged Africans to give up their culture and adopt European lifestyles and habits. In a 1929 manifesto, du Plessis successfully proposed the church adopt a new policy, which he called “apartheid”.

As a New Yorker, I enjoyed watching. My great grandparents came from Ireland to New York for the same reason immigrants come today. There are some significant differences though: 1) there was no welfare state 2) everyone had to be checked at Ellis Island: their health, background, etc. 3) people had to assimilate. What the US is currently doing by providing free everything including interpreters at schools, by turning a blind eye to criminality, and ignoring its own citizens needs will have massive consequences. NYC is broke. We’re in an unsustainable downward spiral. If the stock market crashes and the housing bubble bursts things will get REALLY ugly and fast.
Oh, it’s going to crash..Biden is keeping it inflated and when he loses, he will pull the rug out and those who haven’t been paying attention are going to lose everything.
1 small change... They're not coming for the same reasons & are not immigrants. They hate our country, want to take what's ours & send it home to improve their country & families lives. They have no plans to learn English or assimilate in any way. They LOVE their country & want to d e s t r o y ours. 🇺🇸🙏🏼💞
Not having a welfare state is a huge difference. Also there was the industrial revolution where there were many jobs. During the civil war the Irish would get off the boat and immediately conscripted into the Union army. And having similar values is important as well. For the most part America is probably lucky most migrants come from Latin America, who are mostly Christian or Catholic. Europe is dealing with a lot of Muslims migrating….who don’t have similar western views/values.
Excellent points above. It would be great to see a well researched unbiased documentary on how the conditions changed over the years. It is nice to see authentic boots on the ground reporting. As a country we were able to generate enormous wealth and power which for a several decades masked the uglier sides of life that are our heritage. The challenge now is with such a massive deficit we need to be 😅very careful and tactical with subsidies. People find a way to survive thru grit and luck.
My wife and I consider you to be a gifted person.We also view immigrants and migrants as a net plus for the USA.What makes you rare(as a vlogger) is your explanations of culture/history of the countries you travel. Our lives are richer because of your courage.
here's a fact about these areas he did the video on. they were once entirely american born natives living in these places. they were forced out slowly by immigrants but mostly ILLEGALS, many who were violent. for example, in the 1980s the area of corona where he got the food was inundated by the colombian drug cartels. is that a net plus? fuck no. most of us had to move.
at the 23:10 minute mark..."I don't care about your respect" ..HMM that speaks volumes now imagine thousands of people who act like him. Soo many people are hell bound ... I enjoyed the video ..Thank you
They hate us. All they want is our money. Now, imagine if democrats had the house and senate, and it may happen with some of the RINOS quitting, they could vote in amnesty for all these people and make it so they can vote. It’s game over for our country, then. The border will be open for the entire world and they’ll know they are will get amnesty because of Biden. Vote President Trump in November to stop all of it. Vote Republican so we can build that wall!
exactly! and here specifically to vote to that point sadly.. at least imo that is why they were brought here/allowed to come here.. .smh.. we are in serious trouble if people dont wake up and stop worrying about their feelings for 2 seconds

Been watching your videos for at least a year now, and you never miss. There's a lot of disparity in the world, to be sure - but dude, do we sure need people like you who actually care. Not to mention that your skill of learning new languages - and how you're able to remain so humble and use that ability for genuine conversation & for good - it gives me some vague hope for humanity beyond myself & the dejected opinions of so many of my peers who have resigned to the ways of the world, or are afraid to learn a new language, etc. Idek what I'm trying to say but I'm sure anyone reading would agree that you're doing good things. Please keep it up, I'm rooting for you.
That "right to shelter" law should be abolish. 1) Its not working in favor of the native new yorkers who are in need. 2) It is an excuse and avenue for corruptions. 3) It cuts a chunk of budget which supposed to go to public schools, park maintenance, nypd and other services
If there really is a "right to shelter" law, why is there so many homeless Americans? Where is their "right to shelter" ? The city is not bending over backward to help Americans?
Being told by an illegal immigrant that you can't record them from a public area & stepping on your 1st Amendment constitutional rights.....priceless! Welcome to the sinking of the Titanic on U.S. soil. Brilliant!
It sounded like it was pretty nasty in there. You can only imagine!!! They probably don’t want it photographed or recorded nor anyone coming in causing problems. A LOT of people hate these people- they might go in shooting. It all kinda makes sense.
It’s the same reason a lot of other countries stopped reporting ethnicities of crime statistics and such and news stop covering those kinds cases. They know people will get angry and will be annoyed by footage from the camps. It’s simple but effective way of controlling public perception or limiting the bad side of it
@@michaelthomas366 Are you moving to Florida? I noticed a lot of Californians on the west coast move to Texas, whereas a lot of new yorkers on the east coast move to the sunshine state.

20 years ago I had a hispanic co-worker who said I shouldn't take breaks because he wasn't allowed them in the past. In "progressive" Seattle. Blew my mind.

That's too logical for the left, they even somehow either ignore or lack common sense. Our country unfortunately is in a disgracefully low point right now

NO VISITORS IN A CAMP THAT IS BEING FUNDED WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS?🤔 WELL I GUESS WE NEED TO INSPECT AND AUDIT THESE CAMPS TO DOCUMENT LIVING CONDITIONS THEN.
It blows me away. When my job went overseas in 2008 when everything took a dump. No organization would help me to get retrained. I was a textbook designer/illustrator and the art jobs dried up. So, long story short I had to take out 35k in loans to get retrained to become a maintenance mechanic. I can guarantee you that many of these illegals will end up getting free food, housing, and be able to learn a trade on the U.S taxpayer's dime. It sure doesn't seem fair.
Then stop voting Democrat it's very easy to rectify the situation, these people are not asylum seekers and they're using our weak liberal laws to their advantage, the reason I lean towards the center and to the right is because I want less government involvement and lower taxes. The radical left in the liberals want to take money from hard-working Americans by increased taxes and fund programs like the shit you're seeing today. They want to tell you to allow illegal immigrants to live for free they want to tell you that you have to buy an electric car, and they want to tell you it's okay to have a $50 an hour minimum wage which will make your McDonald's Big Mac meal $30. The radical left is only for the wealthy and they lie and say that they are not
@@trilithon108nope American homelessness and the homeless veterans that serve for our country have to get to the back of the line, they want the desperate illegal immigrants to infiltrate our country so that all the big corporations can hire them at slave wages and make them work 80 hours a week so that their publicly traded companies have higher stock ratings
They need a million more immigrants to help them clean it up. What? You say 2.1 million Palestinian refugees? That's perfect! New Yorkers need an education. Eat it.

Stop juxtaposing one type of poor vs another, it's a simple xenophobic trick designed to draw hate on foreigners. They all need help. The vast majority of our American ancestors from the 1500s to even the late 1800s did not have to go through immigration regulations, even many in the early 1900s, it's laughably entitled for people (generally brain dead xenophobic right wingers who find scapegoats to fuel hatred towards) to think they are better simply because they are born here.

My spouse grew up in Passaic, a 2nd generation American from Sicilian immigrant grandparents that entered legally through Ellis Island in 1920. His neighborhood was predominately Italian and Polish immigrants who required their children to only speak English and assimilate to this country. We recently went to his 50th year high school reunion that was not held in Passaic, too dangerous. Passaic is now predominantly non-English speaking Hispanic. Sad.
Why do you need to be sad? America is a dynamic country, it's always changing, including your hometown. I bet those Native Americans he mentioned in the video were also experiencing culture shock when they saw your grandparents back in the 1920s
@@reaktii America is finished. There's an enormous difference between the kinds of change that is happening now (for the last few decades, really since 1965 but it's been on overdrive for the last 10+ years) as well as the RATE at which it's happening, and the way that things happened in the past. For example, the US enacted an effective pause on immigration from 1924 until 1965, to reduce the amounts of low skilled immigrants showing up and to allow things to settle and for people to assimilate into American society. The number of people coming over the last decade is not only unsustainable financially/resources-wise with housing and everything but it's also unsustainable from an assimilation standpoint, the people who are coming in are wildly different and from cultures which aren't compatible with western values. Keep ignoring this at your own peril.
I was just thinking that! I speak 3 languages fluently, and dabble in another 4 at, say, a 50% fluent. But this guy is very gifted, something I applaud.
We as a country do not have resources for people who are entering illegally. It doesn't matter what their skills or abilities to speak English are. We don't have resources for them. Period . That's the reality. the resources they are taking Should be going to our citizens.
Have you tried contacting your representative and asking them why they don’t pass bills AND provide funds FOR the general welfare of the citizens? *Or is that too socialism-ee? Point being: if you want services that help ‘citizens only’ and your tax dollars directed toward that effort, you have to elect a representative who will fight for that. It’s the job of Congress to allocate resources…make sure you know what your State’s congressperson stands for. 🥂🖖🏼
Their should be at least a preference for English speakers, especially if you've been there over 6 months living off the system. Plenty of time and even free classes.
This is an absolute tragedy. Our country is not so well-off that we can afford to take in millions of people. I'm sure some may not like this, but the first candidate that promises to send back 90% of these immigrants will have my vote.

For those who haven't experienced the interaction with many Chinese, they are quite obnoxious. I used to run a small business in California, and the attitude of many of the ornamentals who came into our store, not all, but, many of them would bark their their attitude quite loudly. There is something in their DNA that makes this issue quite pervasive. One certainly does not want to have them as a neighbor, that's for sure!
These migrants see us as fools. I have lived overseas. If you give money for free, they see you as a chump and you deserve to be taken advantage of and exploited. In most cultures, respect is gained by protecting yourself and putting yourself first. Christian charity is a European value not found in other cultures.

Had they taken a similar stance millions of people would not have been stolen from the continent of Africa, and forced into a lifetime of painful servitude. So much hinges on that one simple act of welcoming in fugitives from another land. Native Americans extended grace, and acceptance to people who would not do the same for them.

Dutch here.. 🇳🇱 Guilders (in Dutch: gulden) is the pre-Euro currency. Some more names that were introduced during that time: Brooklyn (Breukelen) Harlem (Haarlem) New York was traded for Surinam (South America) with the English. I like the perspective you get by being able to approach different nationalities in their own language. Without that it would have been even harder to get any interviews.

Hey Tommy! Dutch guy here, thanks for mentioning us 😂 . The Bronx was named after Jonas Bronck, not a Dutch guy but a Swede who sold his piece of land that was to become the Bronx (or the Broncks' land). Brooklyn however does get it's name from the Dutch as it's named after Breukelen, a small town between Utrecht and Amsterdam. Same goes for Harlem which is named after the city of Haarlem... and that's about all I know 😅
neato never knew won't forget..
Dutch, the inventors of apartheid.😊
@@OurSpaceshipEarth well, yes, but to be exact, the man who coined the word “apartheid” was an Afrikaner clergyman of the Gereformeerde Nederduitse Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church), Jan Christoffel du Plessis. It was originally a theological term. Not a political one. Du Plessis was a missionary who worked closely with black members of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Orange Free State province. He was disillusioned with the way most white clergymen encouraged Africans to give up their culture and adopt European lifestyles and habits. In a 1929 manifesto, du Plessis successfully proposed the church adopt a new policy, which he called “apartheid”.
New Amsterdam was in the southern tip of Manhattan island and New Netherland used to cover several states in that area.

As a New Yorker, I enjoyed watching. My great grandparents came from Ireland to New York for the same reason immigrants come today. There are some significant differences though: 1) there was no welfare state 2) everyone had to be checked at Ellis Island: their health, background, etc. 3) people had to assimilate. What the US is currently doing by providing free everything including interpreters at schools, by turning a blind eye to criminality, and ignoring its own citizens needs will have massive consequences. NYC is broke. We’re in an unsustainable downward spiral. If the stock market crashes and the housing bubble bursts things will get REALLY ugly and fast.
Oh, it’s going to crash..Biden is keeping it inflated and when he loses, he will pull the rug out and those who haven’t been paying attention are going to lose everything.
Yeah this is nothing like the immigration 100 years ago. Where they were all European and had similar values and cultures.
1 small change... They're not coming for the same reasons & are not immigrants. They hate our country, want to take what's ours & send it home to improve their country & families lives. They have no plans to learn English or assimilate in any way. They LOVE their country & want to d e s t r o y ours. 🇺🇸🙏🏼💞
Not having a welfare state is a huge difference. Also there was the industrial revolution where there were many jobs. During the civil war the Irish would get off the boat and immediately conscripted into the Union army. And having similar values is important as well. For the most part America is probably lucky most migrants come from Latin America, who are mostly Christian or Catholic. Europe is dealing with a lot of Muslims migrating….who don’t have similar western views/values.
Excellent points above. It would be great to see a well researched unbiased documentary on how the conditions changed over the years. It is nice to see authentic boots on the ground reporting. As a country we were able to generate enormous wealth and power which for a several decades masked the uglier sides of life that are our heritage. The challenge now is with such a massive deficit we need to be 😅very careful and tactical with subsidies. People find a way to survive thru grit and luck.
My wife and I consider you to be a gifted person.We also view immigrants and migrants as a net plus for the USA.What makes you rare(as a vlogger) is your explanations of culture/history of the countries you travel. Our lives are richer because of your courage.
here's a fact about these areas he did the video on. they were once entirely american born natives living in these places. they were forced out slowly by immigrants but mostly ILLEGALS, many who were violent. for example, in the 1980s the area of corona where he got the food was inundated by the colombian drug cartels. is that a net plus? fuck no. most of us had to move.

Best comment I’ve read. Well said.
That "right to shelter" law should be abolish. 1) Its not working in favor of the native new yorkers who are in need. 2) It is an excuse and avenue for corruptions. 3) It cuts a chunk of budget which supposed to go to public schools, park maintenance, nypd and other services
Yes, focus on migrants so that the rich can continue milking the american people.
It’s disgusting what the current regime is doing to humanity. Both to the American people, and to the illegal migrants.
right to shelter was originally made for Americans.... now people sleep in their cars, if they have one, and get charged rent, for a parking spot 😷☕🇺🇸
Why are so many Americans living on the streets in tents while illegals are housed
If there really is a "right to shelter" law, why is there so many homeless Americans? Where is their "right to shelter" ? The city is not bending over backward to help Americans?
this is a whole new level of insanity.
Being told by an illegal immigrant that you can't record them from a public area & stepping on your 1st Amendment constitutional rights.....priceless! Welcome to the sinking of the Titanic on U.S. soil. Brilliant!
They just freely walk across the border, but you’re not allowed to walk across the camp border. Crazy logic.

My spouse grew up in Passaic, a 2nd generation American from Sicilian immigrant grandparents that entered legally through Ellis Island in 1920. His neighborhood was predominately Italian and Polish immigrants who required their children to only speak English and assimilate to this country. We recently went to his 50th year high school reunion that was not held in Passaic, too dangerous. Passaic is now predominantly non-English speaking Hispanic. Sad.
Why do you need to be sad? America is a dynamic country, it's always changing, including your hometown. I bet those Native Americans he mentioned in the video were also experiencing culture shock when they saw your grandparents back in the 1920s
@@reaktii America is finished. There's an enormous difference between the kinds of change that is happening now (for the last few decades, really since 1965 but it's been on overdrive for the last 10+ years) as well as the RATE at which it's happening, and the way that things happened in the past. For example, the US enacted an effective pause on immigration from 1924 until 1965, to reduce the amounts of low skilled immigrants showing up and to allow things to settle and for people to assimilate into American society.
The number of people coming over the last decade is not only unsustainable financially/resources-wise with housing and everything but it's also unsustainable from an assimilation standpoint, the people who are coming in are wildly different and from cultures which aren't compatible with western values. Keep ignoring this at your own peril.

They're going after benefits now cutting those to pay for the extreme costs involved, crisis everywhere in housing everything and still the leaders blame everyone but their fatal policies
diff. western countries these days especially the cities, lookin' like thurd world .....
You can thank the democrats for this
@@MrIkesimba
Yes, you can blame the Democrats, but the Republicans do nothing to counter this. The oligarchy is playing along and benefitting from the demise of the west. There is no Industrial Revolution taking place to give millions of people a middle class life.
From Omaha Ne., I know.
Sabbatical Tommy, you are one cool Dude! I've subscribed and Watched MANY traveling channels. The guys are pretty good too but YOURS....IS PHENOMENAL!!! I am addicted. You're a class act!!!
I've been watching your videos all morning. Glad I found this channel. It's cool hanging with you.
They steal
These clothes and shoes from Salvation Army bins. I stopped bringing my clothes and shoes to these bins for this reason
Looks liked it
Even if they are stealing the clothes, they are washed, pressed. This isn't what dirt poor people look like. The average American at a Walmart looks worse off.
@@gauloise6442those people are too lazy to work in a pie factory.
@Sabbatical im living in the shelter for the American citizens right next to the migrant camp on Randalls island. A lot of violence in here too unfortunately. NY seems very broken. It was really cool to see you do a video on this love the channel brother!
So you have to pay the Chinese guy for an interview but our tax dollars are paying for them to live one to two weeks or I don't know how long in that free Camp after they broke into our country illegally? That's pretty pretentious of him to expect anyone to pay him for anything
I would've made it VERY clear that they're wearing MY clothes, coats, hats & boots, pulling MY luggage, sleeping in MY bed in MY shelter, flew on MY plane, using MY smartphones, eating MY food, taking MY transportation, spending MY money, & are in MY country ILLEGALLY. Then, asked how much THEY wanted to pay ME to put their story on social media. 😊👍🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼💞
For those who haven't experienced the interaction with many Chinese, they are quite obnoxious. I used to run a small business in California, and the attitude of many of the ornamentals who came into our store, not all, but, many of them would bark their their attitude quite loudly. There is something in their DNA that makes this issue quite pervasive. One certainly does not want to have them as a neighbor, that's for sure!
These migrants see us as fools. I have lived overseas. If you give money for free, they see you as a chump and you deserve to be taken advantage of and exploited. In most cultures, respect is gained by protecting yourself and putting yourself first. Christian charity is a European value not found in other cultures. Personally, I agree with the other cultural way. Take care of yourself and your community first.
@@100nortonfan7probably comparing the quality of the items to the price and comparing how much they could acquire it back home. Is possibly why there loud.
Really enjoyed the tour , places I’d never see otherwise. Your language skills are enviable.
First the Asain guy telling the UA-cam he's wasting his time because he isn't getting paid to interview him and then The spanish speaking guy on the street is demanding an american not to record or the american will have a problem with him and then tells him " I don't care about ur respect "
Exactly, the audacity and ungrateful behavior is a slap on our face. I wonder why the Democrats are encouraging this, how sinister do their motives have to be for this to be okay.
Yeah, definitely some attitude adjustment is in order. The nerve of them
I know, right? It's almost like every human is individually different from the other.
Fuckers already adopted the American Karen mindset lol
That's in zoo york, Let him mouth off like that in real America he will learn respect the hard way.
Incredible UA-camr. Glad I found you a few months ago. I tip my hat to you man. Keep up the great work.
I really enjoyed this video. I loved all the neighborhoods you visited, it made me nostalgic. I was born and raised in the Bronx and moved to Queens in my teen years. Junction Blvd and Corona were my old stomping grounds. I live in Jersey now and it's a really different vibe. I miss New York. I am a New Yorker truly. And I love America with all its flaws, just like you said. Great job Tommy. Keep it going.❤
Koreans up in the Palisades Parkway area. Ft. Lee! That’s what I was thinking about.
One thing i don't like is when people from other country have to flash their flags and push their language,this is America if you like your origin country just go back,but while you here you will honor the American flag and culture,PERIOD!
If only Native Americans had had this EXACT same mentality back in the 1600's 🤔. Maybe if Pacific Islanders had done more to follow this idea they'd still have their paradise home unsullied by American flags, and Americans who don't speak their native tongue.
That’s why ppl loving coming here, anyone can become an American
It’s only ok if you’re Irish right clown? Read more books!
@@BrooklynBeTheBoroThis argument is just bs. Many Americans don't agree with what happened to the Indians. That was then and this is now.
@@jenniferkeefe8564 wait?! So you want to just wave away culpability because "that was then"?! Nah, it doesn't work like that. You don't get to pick, and choose what is or isn't reprehensible. You don't want to hear that because you know it's 100% correct. Had the many Native American tribes, and natives of Pacific Islands taken a similar stance the entire world would look much different. Had they taken a similar stance millions of people would not have been stolen from the continent of Africa, and forced into a lifetime of painful servitude. So much hinges on that one simple act of welcoming in fugitives from another land. Native Americans extended grace, and acceptance to people who would not do the same for them.
Randall Island used to be our escape from this city... now its trash. I hate this.
This video was wonderful, and the last quarter felt almost like a hidden bonus! absolutely killing it man!😄
Im the uk its the same with all the migrants hotels, a british person isnt allowed near them. They have non British security, they leave rubbish everywhere and sexual assault and crimes is rising big time. Making people very angry
Illegal means you broke our laws and are a criminal ,end of story and no sugar coating .
Trump for 2024
Go spread your hatred somewhere else please.
Does this include the 300K+, that were flown around in the dark of night: and deposited into 46 different unknown locations? Hard to argue Illegal: when they are being recruited in foreign lands? It’s like J6. The Guard opened the door: and said, “Come on in.”
@@AbbaLovesUs
Yes it's including the over 300k , you are comparing apples to oranges 🍊 there liberal , J6 were citizens of America 🇺🇸 not illegals .DUH.. but nice try like CNN you spin BS . Why aren't you comparing Ray Epps to Biden ??? That's closer to Apples to Apples ?, 🍎 you liberals crack me up with your stupidity .
@@AbbaLovesUs
So Ray Epps to Biden ? More like Apples to Apples ? Yes J6 were let in But they are Americans not Illegals , see what you did to Sugar coat ? Don't be shy ?
Not gonna lie, I was getting a bit worried about you after Congo but I needn’t have have because you were busy making one of your best videos yet. Thank you. Brilliant content.
Wild being up in Inwood! We moved from Washington heights, up the hill, to queens in the early 90's because the shootings and drugs were out of control. By the time we left, My parents were paying $425/month for a 3 bedroom apartment on 190th street.
I really enjoyed this video! It’s E/I; the best on immigration that I’ve viewed. Thank you for enlightening my perspective on immigration and NY. Great work!👏👏 I wish you much success on this channel.
i could watch you walk around and talk for hours homie you da best
“Seemed like your girlfriend wanted an interview” Ooooooooo! LOL
Dutch here.. 🇳🇱
Guilders (in Dutch: gulden) is the pre-Euro currency.
Some more names that were introduced during that time:
Brooklyn (Breukelen)
Harlem (Haarlem)
New York was traded for Surinam (South America) with the English.
I like the perspective you get by being able to approach different nationalities in their own language. Without that it would have been even harder to get any interviews.
I've travelled quite a bit but never have I seen a subway rougher than NYC. Must have taken a lot of corruption. And the public space is so loud!
The world's dumping ground
No, it is not.
Fantastic video as always, Sabbatical. After years of watching you in other countries, it was surreal to watch you walk down the streets I walk down often. You represent LI well
This was my first time on your channel. You're an interesting person who knows how to keep your viewers attention. Great stuff all the way through. See you next time.
yeah it was odd seeing him in the U.S. for once but he makes really great travel vlogs all around the world and speaks most of the languages its crazy.
