🙏😭I feel like I have seen a video previously about Adam’s deportation several years ago. I need to find that video. His story is heartbreaking. The system failed him. I’m so sorry he went through all of what he went through. I know me apologizing doesn’t change what happened to him but he is an inspiration. The system and many adults who were supposed to be a protector in his life, failed him. I’m so glad he is in a better place and has taken control of his life. He has motivated me to see what I can personally do to help children caught up in the system like he was. Bless him. I wish him the absolute best.🙏💝
I read about the documentary about you seven years ago today. I feel a lot for you. Thank u for doing ur best in every situation u were in especially now otherwise my heart won't stop hurting❤❤❤❤❤❤ start a youtube a channel.and i will be an avid follower❤❤❤❤❤
@adamshin1571 following your story, I was falsely deported in 2009, fought 2 govs, they took my DNA (right..?) came home to Chicago in 2011, took til age 55 to finally receive my citizenship. no criminal record. We both know too much about a terrible system. Looking forward to when you are reunited with your family. I am glad you sound strong and can speak out. Publicity kept me alive. Stay in the public eye please. Come (home..) to your children.
I believe that there are always privileged people in our environment, comparisons are difficult when you don't have as much as other people, it is difficult for me to believe that teachers in Mexico were more demanding than those in the United States, I also find history interesting that he shares about his mother because that is the reality that many people live in and it is a really big challenge to go out into the world and see everything that you are missing, the videos are really interesting because they show the perspective from another point of view.
We waste resources deporting this guy while inviting felons from other countries and then giving them free resources. Would Adam have made the choices he made in his youth had he been provided with resources to sustain himself after aging out of the system
Congratulations Adam on your marriage! I remember your story from some years back. Lately, I’ve been thinking about you. So I came online to see if I could find an update. I’m so happy that things are doing well for you. I’ll be praying that the appeal in the Korean court system stays in your favor. Because you definitely deserve the justice. Stay safe!
I think its really interesting the story he shares about his mom because thats the reality that a lot of people lives in and its a really big chalenge to go out to thge world and see everything that you are missing and aslo i think that a really good point he mention was about being wealthy that at the moment he saw that his classmates had more so he coudnt see evertything he had at the time and that could be someones elses dream, but in general i think all the topics that they talk abouyyt in the video are really interesting because they show the prespective from another point of view
house is stunning, and the way she shared her story of how she ended up in Mexico while showing me around her neighborhood was really captivating. It felt like I was seeing the area through her eyes, and it added so much depth to the experience!❤ Welcome México
I find her bravery to call it that way very interesting, saying that she wanted to go live and study in another completely different country, in customs and everything new that she faces. Besides, Mexico is very beautiful and foreigners from various countries love it.
I was very struck by how she had to adapt to Mexican culture, changing many things that were different in France, all thanks to the fact that she found love in a country totally different from her own. Sometimes I start to think if the saying "love conquers all" is true, I think this story confirms it for me.
Normally there are always more privileged people in our environment, comparisons are difficult when you don't have as much as others, I didn't believe that teachers in Mexico were more demanding than those in the USA
What was the most surprising aspect of Florence's story about how she ended up in Mexico, and how did her experiences in her beautiful house and the surrounding neighborhood shape her perspective on life there?
It’s great how interested she was on knowing the Mexican culture and that she had the courage to move to Mexico because she found love, because being in a different place from home it can have a lot of challenges but she decided to live the experience
I can’t imagine how you felt at the beginning of your experience living in Guadalajara! It’s amazing how you prefer to stay here and not come back to your country. I think that you made a good choice for how you express yourself !
It's very interesting with the girl initially coming to Mexico as an exchange student. After that she loved the culture of Mexico. Is inspired to meet your history for in my personal opinion. I liked going to travel to other places. I liked the video.
Ángel's story reflects a search for balance and well-being in an increasingly hectic world, and I believe that we often find ourselves seeking this stability. It is very uplifting to discover that in a beautiful country like Mexico, he was able to find his equilibrium. His testimony carries a powerful message about learning that we should not only pursue a job for money, but also for one that helps us maintain a healthy lifestyle filled with well-being.
I find your story very interesting and I really liked that you shared it and told it in that way, how it covers several interesting topics that we can see from another point of view, great video!
This seems to me like an extraordinary story; it is a testament to the fact that love and adventure often go hand in hand, and that each journey can take us to fantastic places. The decision shown in the video to move to Mexico and adapt to a new life demonstrates admirable courage. Additionally, the way Florence appreciates Mexico's diversity makes me reflect on the beauty of knowing and embracing different cultures.
When I think about his trip and his entire journey, it seems very complex to me, however fortunately things developed in a very positive way, from meeting the love of his life to living experiences with new people and exploring many new places despite the option of being able to return to Paris. It really is a very beautiful and interesting story to listen to. The good experiences of meeting people, the climate, adapting and getting to know new places in other towns outside of Guadalajara, all contributed to her wanting to stay. It is also very interesting how it has adapted to Mexican culture even though it is very different in many ways from Paris.
It is a great example of how interchanges are a big opportunity to change lifes, She came to Mexico without expactations of stay on here, but with time she likes people of here, the wheather, the experiences and the city of Guadalajara. It is awesome the way she found her husband knocking her door, and how they connected and formed a beautiful family, in wich they learned about they different cultures and they still learnig every day. Is a really nice history because now their childrens will learn a lot of both cultures and nacionalities.
I think to moving to Mexico is a brave and exciting step! Embracing a new culture and way of life can be both challenging and rewarding. You'll create unforgettable memories and expand your horizons in ways you never imagined. Wishing you all the best on this new adventure!
All I can say is, wow! This is humbling and illuminating, and I love how you are heading a grassroots movement to stand up and be heard. So, I am a white person who got very educated and has been working in our prisons, with our homeless veterans, in our nursing homes, and trying my best to make a difference for others. And try to lift people up as best I can. But, this is your journey, your story and your truth. And you are so right, this has to be your movement and your voice. You have to take the lead. I can learn, and listen and support, but no one else can rise up for you. This is a powerful reminder for me that profound change is an inside job. It starts in your heart. You inspire people to be our better selves.
I'm not sure how your Vice interview popped up on my homepage, but I watched it and then immediately watched this one. I wish you all the best, Adam. I'm inspired by your composure, self-reflection, and wisdom. Thank you for sharing your story. I know it's helped me, even just today, so I'm sure it's helping others as well. Keep it up. ✌🏼
Best of luck Adam. I am sorry that you were dealt some bad cards and screwed by 2 countries. I hope that Mexico becomes your new identity and you keep up the good fight.
We are the choices we make, but we are only able to choose out of options presented to us. I remember you and watched your video when you arrived in South Korea. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are a smart person and your experience will sustain you. I wish you well.
I grew up in foster care and ran away at 15. This is such a tragic case. Foster parents are often bad and dangerous, yet we are all expected to grow up to be perfect adults. My mom was adopted from an orphanage and two years later given back-she was forever damaged. This man deserves his USA citizenship, adults and the government failed him.
What an exciting experience it must be to live in Guadalajara as a French woman! It's a great place to immerse yourself in Mexican culture, enjoy delicious cuisine, and meet incredible people. Take the opportunity to explore local markets, like Mercado San Juan de Dios, and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the region, such as Tequila and Chapala. It would also be interesting to hear how you’ve adapted to the culture and what aspects of Guadalajara have surprised you the most.
There are usually always more privileged people in our environment, comparisons are difficult when you don't have as much as others, I didn't believe that teachers in Mexico were more demanding than those in the united state.
Wow, I find it very interesting how a crisis in Mexico or in any country can force you to change your life. like in this example that in the 90s crisis in Mexico made many people leave the country and the hamburger seen in the video looks good.
I like that he talks about how his school was and the facilities they had before where he lived and that the schools here do not have the same, I also find it interesting that in the school there are many foreigners and a lot of exchange like people from Korea and France because it makes me excited. I think it is a good idea to migrate to different countries because this way you can have a better quality of life and get to know new countries.😊
Such an interesting mix of topics! I loved how they connected gourmet food with university life and personal experiences. The story about migration and how it shaped family life was really moving. And those gourmet burgers look amazing! Thanks for sharing such diverse content. 😊👏
