I’m an IMMIGRANT from Spain 🇪🇸 living in a van in the USA 🇺🇸

[@LidiaRico]

I am an immigrant, was never easy but here I am sharing my story. Have you ever considered to move to another country? What’s your take on immigration? Before I emigrated my country I had the wrong opinion about immigration. I was naive, I thought it was a simple thing and that anyone could do it… but oh boy I was so wrong. There is so much paperwork involved and a lot of bureaucracy. You must be a very strong minded person to survive this process but I will never regret of this life changing decision.

[@drewgrows7765]

You immigrated the right way. America is a country of immigrants. People are mainly offended by immigrants who come in the door illegally. It's like they are visiting, and their first act is to break the laws. And it overwhelms the system.

I am originally from Germany. I attended music college in Boston, MA, from 2000 to 2003. After graduation, I returned to Germany because I didn't feel ready to live in the U.S. yet. I was able to get a merit-based green card and immigrated in November 2016. I became a U.S. citizen in 2023. I absolutely LOVE this country now, and vanlife has enabled me to see so much of it already. It still blows my mind that various states are bigger than Germany. I also still feel strongly connected to Germany and might move back one day to spend more time with my family. For the most part, I have only met good people here, but I share some of the cons with you, like the quality of food. Also my mom is from Venezuela, immigrated to Germany in the 80s, moved to Southern Spain when she retired. So I grew up with the life of an immigrant. Safe travels! 😎🇺🇲

[@sharknato6572]

Yeah go tell legal immigrants to go to the field and pick up tomamos 12 hours a day for minimum wage lol why you think food is still affordable in the US compared to Canada.

[@Buses2Bikes]

@@sharknato6572 This isn't 1950. Ain't no illegals crossing the border to pick fruits and veggies for anyone. They cross the border illegally to get the food stamps, free phones and free everything else Democrats are handing out in order to change the voting demographics of every state for all future elections. And food in Canada is so expensive because 1- it's a socialist country so EVERYTHING is more expensive and 2- Canadians realized they can't live on Maple Syrup and Bacon but because they can't grow or produce anything due to crappy weather 8 months out of the year...they have to import everything to live. Has nothing to do with imaginary fields in America full of illegals harvesting food. That hasn't been a reality since the advent of the Combine Harvester.

[@Ash-vw4yt]

right.... she's living in a van making KZbin videos for a living. what exactly is she contributing to this country? content creating? as if we don't have millions of people here that already do that who were born here. people who come here illegally do so because they don't have the means to do it legally and also they are usually fleeimgfrom horrible dangerous parts of the world. She is NOT the same as the immigrants from third world countries. She seems like she came here just because she wanted to live in American for fun. not because it was life or death. I see she's keeping the Spanish tradition alive of keeping down people who were originally from this place to begin with.

[@sh0t0kan]

@@sharknato6572 Cheap labor or jobs you are unwilling to do is not a reason for illegals to remain in this country or any country. There are work visas for migrants who seek work in agriculture.

It’s not fair to think people take their home for granted just because they want improvements, accountability, and hold it to a higher standard. If anything, this only shows the love and pride that they have.

Not because their life is in danger or because they are living in really poor conditions. do you not have a brain or?

I love Spain! It is right up there with Italy in my book. I visited Malaga and it's so similar to Southern California in so many ways.

[@LidiaRico]

Couldn't agree more!

Es muy real lo que estas contando y por falta de tiempo posiblemente se te quedaron fuera muchísimas otras experiencias que contar, y comparto todas esas experiencias ya que soy inmigrante en "tu país".

[@LidiaRico]

Si! Podría haber compartido más cosas pero esto fue lo que se me fue ocurriendo en este vídeo! De que país emigraste a España? :)

[@tristantutor8504]

@@LidiaRico vengo de Argentina, y algo que me cuesta mucho acá en España (vigo/Galicia), es que los argentinos somos muy demostrativos en general, nos hacemos amigos rápidamente de todos, tenemos mucho sentido del humor y x lo menos acá en España donde yo estoy me cuesta llegar a la gente, son bastante fríos y les cuesta entrar en confianza.

Very interesting Lidia. Life its hard, you are a very strong girl. Impossible for me to do. Too hard. Will see and translat others video too. Wish you a good day

[@MichaelSwartout]

I'll migrate across a state line for you. Your complexion is so pretty and love the tattoos. Glad you came here respectfully.

[@pchor125]

Ive never been in USA, but I'm planning to go. Your points are very interesting! 👍

[@LidiaRico]

Thank you for sharing! I’m sure you’ll love the USA ❤

[@pchor125]

@LidiaRico Although I will go as a tourist only, still your points are still very interesting. I don't have plans to move there because I prefer Europe anyway 😀👍. But to see the states, it's definitely worth it to go.

Its stressful for us too when it comes to food. Thats one of the issues here. We get to vote with our dollar and support the businesses that are practicing regenerative farming etc. Its a huge issue here and they're trying to do it in europe too. love you and thanks for sharing your testimony !! Coming from a first generation elsalvadorian/argentinian ...besos 🥰

[@LidiaRico]

Thank you for sharing your point of view as I think it matters! We need to be strong with this because like you said is a big issue! We’re getting sick because of it! It needs to stop! ✋

[@nomadicphotosophy]

This is a really helpful and informative video! Thank you Lidia!

[@judulteu1744]

I just subscribe to your channel. And I told like 20 of my friends to follow you. Love what your doing keep it up. And ur cute too ❤😊

[@mattconaway6532]

Another great video Lidia! It is interesting to hear someone’s perspective that is a legal immigrant! You’re so brave to just start from scratch in a whole new country especially one with a whole different language! ❤

[@LidiaRico]

Thank you! I felt it was an interesting topic! It was a lot of paperwork lawyers and headaches but it was worth it 😊

[@Juliathehealthgirl]

I want to acquire dual citizenship, but I’m terrified of the process Super happy for how you take on life no matter what ❤ blessings to you

[@LidiaRico]

Do as you please, fear is a virus 😅
