Adam Crapser: Adoption to Deportation to living in Mexico 

Yes Thank god he is now living in Mexico. So There is a chance to go to US. I hope he reunited with his family.

Thank You for your empathy, and understanding 🙏🏼

Thank You Very Much for your words of encouragement, and care. 🫶🏻

@@adamshin1571I’m sure more people than you know are behind you. Where can we find updates? What can people do? Do petitions make a difference?? I’m sure you have a huge number of supporters you aren’t even aware of, me included! I don’t see how anyone can see your story and not support. The haters are sad and ignorant. These people complaining and criticizing have never been tested. They say virtue untested is no virtue at all. At least you know what you’re really made of. Stay strong!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼you are nothing short of amazing.

Adam plight is becoming a rallying call for forced migrants everywhere

The system is not broken- it functions exactly the way it was designed to. it just was not designed to help children, it was designed to exploit them.

He also made his bed. You make your bed and you have to deal with it Yes the whole adoption thing and group homes messed up his life. but Hes a criminal that was was constantly involved in crime and gangs to the point of deportation. You have to be involved in many many incidents and SEVERE CRIME to get deported. Goverment doesn't have the time, money or people to use to deport people for small incidents. He that was involved in crimes and major crimes to the point be being constantly being on police radar...thats the only way a person permanent resident gets deported

@@zochbuppet448 He said he broke into his last foster home, to retrieve his belonging which got him two years in prison... at the age of 18. He did make his own bed. But when life hands you rags for bed sheets, theres only so much bed you can make.

@@zochbuppet448he was always gonna fail given the circumstances illegal or legal. Some people are dealt a horrible hand.

@@tainanking You have to be involved in many many incidents and SEVERE CRIME to get deported.

He failed himself

Thank You, my good friends the original architect’s of this important piece of legislation have worked tirelessly since i was first removed, to try and correct the previously flawed law called the child citizenship act, to close the erroneous loophole, not only for myself, but for the many other people similarly situated. Much appreciation, and love to you, and the people with tremendous understanding, intelligence, and Empathy in Your ❤️ I Hope you have a blessed weekend🙏🏼

@@adamshin1571just found your story. So much respect for you. pulling with every fiber of my being for you and your family. 🙏🏼 I hope that the injustice you were dealt can be redressed in some kind of way. You deserve to be happy and to be with your family in the country that promised you a home. It was someone else’s simple mistake!!! It’s unbelievable that this could happen. I hope to see positive updates to your story soon…

​​@@adamshin1571 The VOX interview with you and Jay Kang is trending again. Things will work out, believe. Best to you and your family.

good news

Adam keeps doing amazing things. Hopefully he will start his own channel.

He really does. He is involved in some amazing projects.

Thank You for your empathy, and understanding 🙏🏼

I hope so too

Thank You for your empathy, and support. Saludos😊

@@adamshin1571hi Adam! This is off topic but the dogs in your profile pic are super cute.

Thank You! My good friends from Nakasec are the onez that shared that and many other inclusive pieces of community with me. Appreciate your wordz of support, and care🫶🏻

I loved this too

The United States 'of' America has been a corporatocracy for many years now/the proverbial neo-liberal model that has been the status quo since the late 70's/early 80's. Aside from that, the USA has always been a cut throat vicious nation that is reflected in many societal areas; starting from the pyramidal system at the top. A lot of good people as well despite all of the corruption.

He still feels American. He kept his white name when he could have gone back to his korean name. He looked for a home that was close to American culture. He doesn't want his korean identity. I am surprised that his choice of females was asian.

Lost their souls and replaced it for capitalism.

Thank You for your empathy, and understanding. Me moving to mexico is the same as if you chose to. The mexican authorities have nothing to do with my residency. As a korean, i have a clean record, and can visit/reside/immigrate the same as anyone else who meets the required criteria. 🙏🏼

Thank You for your empathy and understanding🫶🏻

he did also BnE his adoptive parents house// news flash they were helping him// then they got robbed he could have tried getting a few jobs, instead of learning to steal cars off working people. he better not act like a gangster in Mexico or he will get dusted for sounding white! ole ole!

@@abbe1abbe156 and a lot of other things. Adam's story is just the tip of the iceberg.

Lemons

Thank You for your kind words of encouragement, and for your understanding, and empathy.

Thank You for your empathy, and understanding 🙏🏼

It is in the works

@@Rick68976 🙏

He is. I hope I can get another video of his business hustle. This guy is resourceful.

Thank You for your understanding, and empathy. My sister is an American citizen as she was adopted by another family at age 15.

Thank You!🫶🏻

Adversity can either make you or break you. You know your worth and though you have made some choices that didn't work out, you kept at it to make your life better. Choice has consequences and you have learned life lessons. The good and the bad comes to everyone but what one chooses to do with life makes all the difference. You are now the leader, the teacher and wise one for those who are experiencing similar situations. Keep on improving your destiny so that others may follow and experience peace and stability as you have.

@@satoamoy Thank You for your very thoughtful, and kind message. I appreciate them alot. I will continue to do my best.

Thank You for your understanding, and kind words.🫶🏻

And not all prison guards are bad people. There is really a thin line to getting into violent illicit activities and state sanctioned violence. In both cases, people are sacrificing their safety to survive and create an imagined community with morals and values of who is good and who is bad.

Also came from the vice video and it's good to know how he is doing and where he is at.

Yes, he is doing well.

True, a lot of people do find freedom in Mexico

​@@Rick68976Do you know what city he is talking about in Mexico where he said it is middle class and like San Diego, California?

Adam has an incredible story.

It does

Gran respeto🤝🫡❤️

This insider perspective is so important and often invisibilized.

You know, I learned like Switzerland does the same. Citizen is by via blood lines.

That's why you need to behave good, where as you don't have an U.S. PASSPORT, YOU BETTER STAY CLEAN. U.S. PASSPORT IT SAYS THAT YOU ARE AN AMERICAN. YOU CAN'T BE DEPORTED , BECAUSE, U.S.A. IS YOUR COUNTRY. PERIOD. BEHAVE GOOD GUYS.

​@@Lion20834also for joseph james DeAngelo and other major criminals? And politicians (Bush, Trump etc...) who made bad choices for the United States? Their origins are known, aren't they? It's easy to say that when people are typecast. The United States of America is a country created by migrants (except the natives who are indigenous and the blacks who were forced to live there as slaves) of all origins. It would be fair for everyone to be treated equally on citizenship. your comment is disgusting.​

A great idea

@@diminudivadollhaus2097 It is a wider reflection of our individualist, comsumerist mentality.

Probably a border city. It's easier for his family to visit him

@@miamijefe7793 Idk, what boarder city is as well off as he said? I can’t think of such a boarder town/city. 🤷‍♂️

@@pauldeanda4985Mexicali Baja California, I’m guessing…

This was fimed in juriquilla, queretaro. Thank you for your understanding 🙏🏼

@@miamijefe7793not a border town. This is juriquilla, queretaro- mainland 🇲🇽

Honestly that's insane how you can even remember, I would have lost count 😮

Let me know how we can help. There are different organizations that can help. Check out Otros Dreams en Mexico and the Rhizome Center.

And join the cartels to go back to America. Cartels are the only way to go back to his family.

Mexico is a great place to heal and recuperate from these experiences.

Gerardo, Yes I pray he finds Christ. The Jehovah Witness Cult is not a good example of True Christianity. Romans 10:13

​@BULLARDtheOKIE Please, they are the only ones that actually follow the bible. Not to mention, they have won more civil rights lawsuits in the United States than any other group.

@gotyoutriggered.8644 WRONG! The New World Translation is a CULTIC interpretation of the original Greek and Hebrew! The Watchtower has falsely prophesied numerous times by date setting the return of Jesus Christ. Charles Taze Russell was a false prophet and is still leading many astray I know good people that follow this false representation of Christianity. I am an Evangelical Christian! You MUST be born again. Romans 10:13

That movie was about me- look up the controversy around it @lost.seoulz

Blue bayou is about me- if you want to know more @lost.seoulz

Thank You for your very eloquent comment! I appreciate the time you took to provide words of encouragement, empathy, and support. As you can imagine, as i can see you do, some dayz are better than others, but loss is loss. It is the warmth, and empathy that is felt from people like you that continue to reinforce the hope i have in my ❤, that one day we will all be able to live in a world without the mechanisms in place to hurt, and hobble us. Again, thank you very much for these timely words of support. 매우 감사합니다 🫶🏻

Onward struggle

It is a great place to be and especially for someone who has this lived experience in migration and incarceration. He is in a place where he can make a difference.

Agreed

Thank You for having faith in me, and for your understanding, and empathy 🙏🏼

I did own and operate a barbershop back in Oregon. Thank you

@@adamshin1571 would love to watch your content if you ever decide to make any. I came from VICE. I appreciate the insights from these interviews, and I’m glad you’re pushing through.

Adam is a private person. There are so many people that have been impacted by colonialism, global capitalism, and inequality. You can make a difference wherever you are. Resist, create awareness, and take actions for systemic change that benefit the working class.

@@Rick68976 I know this. My grandmother was full blooded Native American. My father taught me the history of the Native people and he worked as an environmentalist knowing the Native way of living in harmony with nature. I now know that the colonizers went around the world conquering and subduing everyone they could. I also know that they destroyed the world with their evil natures. They lie, steal and cheat. We are coming into the sixth mass extinction because of them. Yet, they still lie about climate catastrophe. Their greed and selfishness has murdered many people. I can even tell you that I am writing a book about this. I have discovered that they are all people with personality disorders--narcisscistic, sociopathic or psychopathic. Serial killers are psychopaths. So, are many CEOs, politicians and religious leaders who manipulate others for their own gain. I have difficulty sleeping because I am completely aware of all of this. It disgusts me.

@lost.seoulz

@@adamshin1571 Sup, Adam. Hope you are doing well. Much love and respect from GDL.

Hey Rick! Doing well, hope you are doin well also!

Thank You for your empathy, and understanding 🙏🏼

His foster parents never filled out the paper work.

Pleaz read about the adoptee citizen act- we have been trying to get this passed since i forst got deported. @lost.seoulz

Look up the adoptee citizen act- my friends have tried to pass this piece of legislation for many years. After 1996 alot of immigration policy changed. You would be surprised as to who fits the criteria for removal these dayz. Even naturalized citizens are being deported. Google🫡

He's not alone. A lot of adoptive parents fail to follow through and apply for the child's citizenship, and take them through the process. They're flakes, and shouldn't have been allowed to adopt.

Thank You for your empathy, and understanding 🙏🏼

no

he was adopted by some white family, but I think he was abused under their care

No that is mot me- i know who he is- but that is not the true story of that man unfortunately.

@@adamshin1571 What is the true story?

@@MaximSupernov the true story is open your ears and you may learn something. Aside from that perhaps you are talking to yourself, or someone you want to be. If neither than you are a bot, a troll, or someone who did not watch the video, and probaly should find something better to do. This aint for you bud🤫

Muchisimo gracias hermano🙏🏼🇲🇽

Querétaro, mx

Thank You for your understanding, and empathy 🙏🏼

Queretaro

@@tinatieden8499 He just keeps doing better

Yes, but it is this lived experience that can also provide the knowledge and agency to motivate real change.

My brothers from another mother

You mean k-town Koreans from the 90's in LA?

We are organized here in Jalisco and are working with other collectives and organizations internationally. I would say we fight locally and give support and solidarity internationally.

They simply did not fill out the paper work. He was simply a child that provided a check and could be exploited.

If he was smart, he would be getting into the same trouble over and over agin. You have to do some major incidents to get deported. You actually think the government have time to run after people. How many years do illegal immigrants live in the U.S ad other countries an d never ever get deported? Stop propping put loosers

He is so smart that he kept being involved in crime and gangs to the point that he was constantly on police radar that and to the point where they get immigration and border to kick him out of the country. Thats is extremely far from being smart. He was so smart that he didn't know that he wasn't fully a citizen

Do you mean "losers"? And no you don't have to be involved in major crimes to be deported. After 9/11 it became much easier to deport people even for misdemeanours.

@@zochbuppet448is this english? You have alot to bump your gims about, but oddly nothing in this video has to do with you. BTW it is called border patrol, and no I’ve never had any interaction with that agency. Learn yourself as to what you are talking about. Another keyboard expert thumpin away through your feelingz- feel better😂

Thank You, i am working on it as we speak. I regularly speak with law colleges about these topics. I successfully filed a landmark lawsuit in korea, and am about done with the second trial. Appreciate your kind words, understanding, and empathy🙏🏼

Thank You for your empathy, and understanding 🙏🏼

Guess that is why no one has, and I have a clean record, and do what I want to. You sound like a cop, maybe you should work on that. It is frowned upon where i come from. Have a great day buddy😊

@@adamshin1571 thn why do you even mention that korea is a country of snitches? You assume I’m a cop but you know what they say about ppl making ASSumptions. Whatever makes you sleep at night. System failed you. And I felt bad for you when I was following the story. But you ain’t no staint yourself, and you also failed yourself just as much. Stop blaming everything on the system and the system only.

Nobody is saying he is a saint. He did his time and does not deserve a perpetual sentence of banishment. Moreover, whatever he did does not justify the systemic oppression that impacts people who are already marginalized. This hyper focus on the individual while ignoring larger societal factors perpetuates a system that serves the few and oppresses the majority.

Pretty standard abuse in the US. There is nothing just about the US crimmigration system.

I mean they're not eager to help a felon..go figure

@@slee2695 he’s not a felon. If he did become one, that’s the responsibility of his adopted US parents who did not do their job well. In their hands.

@user-bms4y2jeio5wli so his prison stories are bs? You dont go to prison for misdemeanors Ah his parents fault...when do things become his responsibility? When does he stop being a victim?

His adoptive parents didn't file his citizenship paperwork. It's not the USA government's fault. Once he was a felon, it was too late for it to be granted.

the way things are going America is gonna fall soon, I agree Mexico probably a better option for him

Asia is better

@Go4Broke247 not korea lol. Especially for an American.

@@NunyaBizzzzz true, Adam Crapser did say that he faced lot's of discrimination, because of the strict Korean rule and law, seems like Japan would do the same also, but I think he would fit fine especially in the Philippines, maybe Cambodia, and Thailand though.

@Go4Broke247 yes I agree. But remember his family still lives in the states. Mexico borders the u.s it's probably just easier for him and his family.

Crossing could result in hard prison time. Adam was lucky to have the support to wait out his deportation. Most deportees don't have those resources. Crossing unauthorized into the US has more to with desperation than being "law abiding".
