Amerika’ya Nasıl Gelebilirsin

Hello friends. Oğuz is with me.

Laptop Traveler, by the way.

Welcome, Laptop Traveler! That's what

I'll tell you. When you first started the channel, a

laptop was a huge luxury, wasn't it

? Hey, you air traveler with a laptop or something.

I included it because I carry my laptop with me. Is that even

a suitable name for my son?

Because you carry your laptop with you. Back then,

laptops were a luxury; not everyone owned one.

No, everyone had one, but not many carried it on their backs [laughter] and

walked around with it. Some

call him a laptop-obsessed traveler. Some people think laptops are for rich people

. It just stayed that way. So you

got rich with your laptop

? A guy came up to me and said, "Hey, how much

money do I have?" "Hey brother, what happened?" he asks.

How much money do I have that you're asking about? You're asking about the rich, but

I'm not asking about you.

I said, "A man in Çalantorda." My brother isn't rich, he's a traveler.

But you're still traveling, I guess.

I also got my passport.

My friends got the passport. Oguz arrived yesterday and stayed with me.

Well, he'll even return to Türkiye tomorrow. We decided to

meet with Oğuz, and also because, as you

know, I recently had surgery.

I can't handle the network or anything like that.

Thanks, brother. I said the pool has arrived too.

The items are there, thanks brother. When should

he arrive in New York?

This is the

third one. Exactly. I'm constantly having

Oguz carry things for me.

Well, he kindly came. Our Menatt's house is a

3+1 apartment. According to Menattı, it's actually

a big house. But still, everything is small.

So, we have storage facilities here

. We're occupying a separate space.

We put our things there and stuff. He

had a transportation operation.

Something caught my attention today.

I laughed a lot at him. I didn't tell you. That's what

I was going to say. It just occurred to me.

When did you become a citizen?

2024.

Ah, a sense of relief has arrived, hasn't it? Once you

become an American citizen or something,

you finally relax. Because the immigration period will have

ended.

It's ending. Exactly. Because the police

parked Oğuz's car in front of my house.

We're transporting the goods there. Cleaning day.

The police are towing the car away. I looked and he was giving the

police a scolding. Okay, he says.

You said it once, he says. Why are you repeating the second one

? They say, "We understand," and so on. Damn, I

said, you got your passport and now you're acting all cocky.

[Laughs] Four years ago you used

to speak so bluntly. If it were the police, we would have said yes

. NYPD, the city police, have arrived

. Who are you? There's no courage [laughs],

that's all.

What's making you talk? Show me

now.

This is what makes me talk.

Take the other one too.

This prevented him from speaking. That's how he used to do it

in America.

He said. I said, "Who do you think you're trying to impress

?" We are citizens [laughs], you know

. The guy is obsessed with this thing and he's

walking around with it. [Laughter] The most American of all, even

white Americans don't show off this much

. I have two of these passports. Here's what

you need to know about your rights,

friends. So actually,

even if I have a green card or am an F1 student,

the police shouldn't be able to scold me. But then, of course,

you get scared.

He says something, he buys something, something happens

, he asks for my record, my

citizenship gets jeopardized, and so on. "

Now let's go to the police station," I said. Let this

be an example for young people now, if necessary. For those who

want to come to America or are already

in America,

I think it was 2016 when I first met Oğuz. We

have a photo. Of course, it's famous

. Exactly. It's

been 10 years. It's

been 10 years, hasn't it? Oğuz looked like an Apache back then

. This is what

the hair is like.

Hair, matches, that's it. Well, I won't talk about my mother

. It comes to my mind with everything.

[Laughter] We

had some interesting stories, anyway,

that's how we started in America, you know, back then

you were really like a hooligan or something.

My outfit is awful, my coat, everything is

terrible.

Of course, son, money really does

change people.

Earning a little money really

makes you feel... something. [laughter] The way

she dresses, the way she sits, the way she speaks.

Of course. Now, how old were you back then

? I was 21. I'm 31 now

. Now she's 31, of course, she's reached that age, blah blah blah

. So you've matured a bit more. That's the

point of the matter then. Oguz told me, "So, you

went to Spain, I think?" I

had the opportunity to pursue a master's degree. Elast,

no, we would have said yes if we had gotten up in Spain at that time

.

Then we came to... There

was talk of Erasmus in Spain. The

discussion was about whether to stay in America or in Spain.

He asked me. I said to my son, "If you want

to make money..." I said America, meaning

Europe, because I lived in Paris for many years and I am

also a French citizen.

Well,

since Europe was over, I

came to America back then. So, I

had my own construction company.

Then came the Poles, Romanians,

Bulgarians, and Mulgarians.

They lowered the prices.

Something happened.

You were doing construction work like an operator.

Of course, of course. I used

to do interior renovations like that. Things like changing the tiles in the apartments, you know, and so on

.

For example, you were giving a price,

let's say 3,000 euros. An Afghan man came and offered a price of 2,000 euros

. Roman came and quoted a price of 00 euros. He's

not Afghan, that's for sure. And the Bulgarians, the

Romanians,

they came. They didn't become members either.

They did these things before they became members.

They weren't members yet. Tell the European Union

.

Well, they granted this right for three months, three months at a time

. Work is not allowed. These people

came here [to listen to music] because they were starving.

I was already doing the work cheaply.

I employed Kurds.

You were the master. You

had apprentices and all that too, though. No, I'm a master craftsman, that's a different story. I had

mentors.

Oh,

my masters were working. For example, I used to do

manual labor for them, helping them out.

I was learning things from him that I didn't know.

For example, I was becoming a tile setter.

I was having tiles installed. I was making the mortar for it.

I was carrying tiles.

I was learning while he was doing it. He was

involved.

Of course. After that, for small projects,

for example when I couldn't find a skilled worker or

couldn't afford to pay them, I would do it myself.

That's how I learned about wallpaper.

For example, I learned about the wallpaper from a PKK member.

[Laughs] I'm not kidding. Uh, he

worked alongside me. And then, uh,

I learned it from him. I don't know, maybe

I learned about parquet flooring from someone from Bayburt or something.

Uh, they lowered the prices. Then I arrived.

So Europe has lost its appeal. That's

why I told you to come to America. And

you listened to me and came. Let me

ask you this then. So, did

you do the right thing by coming to America?

I think I did the right thing. I have no regrets about my time in America

. I'm so glad

I came to America. I'm glad I went to America. You, for

example, could be in Spain and be a Spanish

citizen. I

probably would. We could have

lifted the World Cup trophy and

shouted about it or something.

Yes. We could have been Spanish, but

being an American citizen carries more

weight in the world. Let

me give you some information about America. The amount of

money it spends annually on legal problems faced by its citizens abroad is

$300 million. So if

you're an American citizen, it's already written in your passport

.

There's a phrase that says something like, "Be careful with this man." They wrote

a message saying something like, "Provide all kinds of assistance, don't delay this

." He either exists or he doesn't

. Now, let me

give you an example. When you go to Cyprus,

when you go to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, you cannot cross the border from Northern

Cyprus with a foreign passport

.

Yes.

You can't cross to the south side. He's telling Southern

Cyprus, stubbornly insisting, "Go ahead and

come via Greece."

Yes.

There are no direct flights from Türkiye anyway. He's telling you to come to Southern

Cyprus

from Greece.

Even if you're a European Union citizen, they're still being difficult

. A friend of mine went there, a

Turkish-American citizen, and he

literally stood up to the police. "

What's wrong?" he said. "How can you not buy it?"

he said. So [clears throat] he

said, of course, there is, he

said, there is an agreement between us.

He said to call his thing or something. They took the guy in,

you know?

Now, you

might not be able to do that with, say, a Belgian passport.

If your profile were better,

perhaps you couldn't do it with a Japanese bucket passport

. It

has weight, you know

. They're also scared, for

example, I went to Egypt.

I entered with a Turkish passport.

I left with my Turkish passport, but I also brought my American passport with me

. I said, if something happens to me,

immediately involve everyone, including the American president, I

mean,

I'll use diplomatic means.

I don't know if it's coming to you. For example,

when I go to Türkiye, that thought also comes to mind

. They are sending messages. So,

don't go to these areas. There

might be a problem here.

Call us if anything happens. It's repeating itself,

in other words.

With dual citizenship, there's a bit more distance; if you're

also a citizen of that country,

they give you half the aid, but if you're

in a country where you're not a citizen, they give you full aid

. That's what I know,

anyway. Something happened to me while I was going to Türkiye

. E has arrived. Well, he came a few times

. In fact, even back then,

they were coming to the places where bombs were exploding

. You went to these places, you know.

You're satisfied. You were the first person to come to America.

You became an American citizen.

So, are you financially well-off? So, are

you happy with your life? I'm so glad

I came to America. Because as far as I can see you, I mean, with my rope and belt

[laughter], do

you know what Nasreddin Hodja said? My

rope and my belt, my dick and my balls.

So, sir, you're

always carrying your laptop on your back and

wandering around Val.

I'm walking around with my laptop on my back [laughs].

I think it was America that made this possible for me

. I don't think there's as much money, or as much money-making potential, in Europe or the rest of the world as there is in

America

. There are

so many interesting things here.

We talked about this in the last video, right?

For example, the guy will be doing junk removal.

I can give you an estimate as low as $500, at the very least.

Today, he put items in that small storage unit that I

don't use, or sometimes

use. How many items do we have to throw away? 2

bubbles.

Here's a big piece of cardboard. Let me put it this way

. Fold down the

back seat of the Doblo.

Yes. Let me put it this way. He

asked the guy for 500 dollars

. Teacher, I filmed a video of a truck.

I explained secrecy. With a Turkish driver.

Someone from Canada wrote this. He

said, "I earn in a month what you earn in a week,

and I drive between Canada and America anyway

." he said. So, if a man

travels between America and Canada

with the wrong passport, he'll get a Turkish passport and

travel the same route, earning four times the

money. He says, "It's disgusting."

"Do they do this less often in Canada?"

Of course, in Canada, they do in a month what our

truck drivers in America do in a week

. I have truck drivers from Europe who are

my followers; we talk and stuff. He says, "

Brother, I earn 4,000 euros

." Here, the man

is talking about $14,000 or $1,000.

How much do the

truck drivers in America earn, by the way? Right now, to become a truck driver.

Meanwhile, these people who come here illegally from Mexico and other places are working as

truck drivers. Their driver's

licenses will not be renewed. Even cancellation

status. Did they get it?

They cannot renew their driver's licenses.

They let some of them in as well. Some of them

self-deported. The market is divorced.

So, right now, if

you have a green card and you're a truck driver, how much

money can a truck driver make? I

have many friends, a lot of friends. It's

not a profession I particularly enjoy. You know how you go there

constantly, you're sacrificing your health

. There's no social life, no sports or anything like that,

but in the end,

even the drivers make 14,000 to 15,000 dollars. It's crystal

clear. Let me tell you the difference.

I learned that too. You're landing in the open,

securing the cargo, sinking into the mud,

protecting the cargo, and if anything happens to the cargo, it's

your fault. If you

're not the one loading it, then you're loading them.

And son, it's the same in Türkiye. Are you the one

connecting it?

But they earn $45,000 less in a closed truck

. What is the enclosed tour truck

doing inside? He's going, loading, going,

loading the cargo. It doesn't touch anything. There's nothing wrong with the

binding or anything like that. Well, some people are

afraid, for example, if our friend Can is

watching, he says that if you

're not a mama's boy,

you can do an open truck, but if you're like, "I'm

going to stop and not load anything," then

do a closed one.

I have friends in Türkiye who are truck drivers and

logistics professionals. We

even went there a couple of times and impounded his truck

. It's such a difficult thing,

son, there's a tarpaulin, you pull it and

tie it. The female drivers are doing it.

There are female drivers now.

I also saw Turkish drivers on Instagram.

Look,

there are 30 Turkish female drivers currently broadcasting in America. Some of

them do it openly. Well done!

Of course, they drive trucks.

I saw a couple.

They do it as a couple too.

The couple, husband and wife.

Yes.

They work as truck drivers. One is sleeping, the other is

driving. One is sleeping, the other is

driving. Well done, indeed. Like I

said, in every sector in America,

you're a coach.

You're paying $150 per hour. Go

to Europe, the money you'll get is €0.40.

Well, right now I don't know, I mean,

I've had many people come here. You're

newer.

So, in my opinion, how

can people become citizens right now?

Sir, as

you know, in America, there's a Green Card before citizenship.

You too, [clears your throat] with your

Green Card.

There are currently three main paths to getting a Green Card. Let me put it this way

.

90% of Green Card holders who are citizens obtain them this way.

There are also 10% different ways. Unless

you are a very extraordinary person, or different countries

have different programs. I'd better not get involved with them

. It's a very long topic. Well, there

are three ways. Basic, as far as I can see.

There are probably 30 people around me who have become citizens. They either seek asylum,

get married, or

are sponsored by a company. For example, your

asylum application requires a marriage sponsor,

of course. One of the three of

them already issues green cards.

Yes. If someone has become a citizen,

travels the world, but cannot

enter Türkiye, know that they have sought asylum.

For example, if it takes a very long time for someone to become a citizen, this is what

you go through when you apply for asylum. I feel oppressed

in Türkiye, I don't know why. Of course, of course

. You are

complaining about Türkiye.

You say you're a PKK member, you say you're a Kurd.

You say you are an Alevi.

You're saying you're something or other. So you're speaking

ill of Türkiye.

In fact, there are so many of them right now that someone

from Türkiye is coming and saying to the American consul, "I'm

sorry, but does America fall for this

?" So now he's saying, "

I'm Kurdish, you're upset, so I'm throwing it away."

Yes. I

mean, there's no such situation in Türkiye.

I'll send it when there are two, sir, it's

related to that. In America,

unfortunately, you know, with things like self-declaration tax, you might get into trouble with the

government or

something.

Yes. In America, tax day

comes around, and the guy tells me

I earned $100,000. I say I have $90,000 in

expenses, and he says, "Okay, just pay $10,000 in taxes

." He's not saying "send me the $90,000 risk,"

but if

America catches him, if they catch him, well, my friend—I

won't give his name—said directly, "I'm Kurdish," and

sought asylum. The man said that there are

millions of Kurdish citizens in Türkiye

. None of them have a problem.

What's your problem, he asked. "

They're persecuting me," he said. Who are they

oppressing? Millions of Kurds are now

walking freely outside, he said.

They voted. The party entered parliament. The man is so

in control, so incredibly in

control. He said in parliament that the

third party emerged. Look, back then, HDP

emerged as one of the three parties. He said that the third party came out, and he

brought it back to the idea that they are oppressing us again.

Klasik said, "How

will they understand you, Kürtoğlu? They'll crush you." "You," he

said, "are just a normal, classic walk, Mistan."

So, come on,

I can't ask these questions.

He said, "I've prepared well, they'll understand from my speech," and so on.

They brought something in Kurdish. They told me to read it, and so on.

So, basically, when a young man comes across a civil servant who does their job well, that's what they do

. Well, how about that

now? But it doesn't seem easy right now, under the Trump era

. It's

not easy. How do they do it? Let me

also give you a very small, niche piece of information for

your audience. The men are having

bullets left in front of his house, pretending it's from Türkiye

. The police are having his family contacted to find the person who fired the bullet

. He's having that document

translated into English and brought here, and so on

. So,

in Türkiye, there are people who take the lead in that way, just for show

. One path I haven't described is

asylum. I also

provided that information.

They also handle information in that way. [Laughs]

They are, guys. In marriage, and initially,

but well, right now,

during the Biden era, a lot has come from Mexico

. Is it that easy now?

No, currently no one is entering from Mexico, and they are

also monitoring those who are trying to enter. Is it definitely impossible

to enter from Mexico right now?

So even if he got in, he shouldn't get caught.

They just need to run away, that's how it is.

Because in the past, they would come

directly to the police and surrender. The

police officer

was lying down for a couple of months,

what a couple of months? They weren't paying for a month or two

. Some were lying down. There were also two women

. My friend did it for 4 months. It

also provided social security.

It provides a social security number. Social

security number, friends,

means this in America. Go with him to get your driver's license and

open a bank account. You normally can't do

that.

They used to issue this even without a social security number, but I think they've stopped that

. Right now,

and at this moment, the asylum application process has become a bit

problematic. There was something like this regarding asylum applications

during the Biden administration.

You were inventing something today. Work permits and residence permits

were granted to individuals. The trial was scheduled for three years later

. You spend 3 years doing car repairs,

barbershops, and truck driving. Now Trump says,

"No, man, you confessed today, and three months

later they call you in. They say, 'Explain your

problem.' And if they don't like it, they immediately

start the removal process." That's why asylum applications are

currently in trouble. Actually,

the marriage is in trouble too. Because Trump said,

one person said, in America

now,

there are even people who pay money to get married.

They are probably investigating this seriously now

. It

comes like this once. Do you live together?

How long have you actually known each other?

Come and check on its controller.

Yes. It's happened to many of my friends.

They're raiding the house. Now, even with that money, you have to

live in the same house with the person you slept with

. You have to know everything about him

. So it's a very difficult

process. The moment they realize she's given money or anything like that,

they take that right away from her. Does the

girl receive any punishment as well?

Here's how it happens. In the marriage I saw, is there

a penalty for the American? If a

USS officer senses that this marriage is fake, he

starts pressuring the American citizen, saying, "Cooperate with us

, cooperate with us." Say, "

This man deceived me." Say that I was

deceived. Confess, don't ever show your face to

us again.

But the girl did it for money, but

of course the

police say, "You'll say this so you don't get into

trouble," and

they give her a paper saying, "Yes, I

married this person for money, this person is mine," and she

signs it. What does the girl lose? She can't

bring any more immigrants there

because once they've been marked like that,

they just kick the kid out.

Actually, nothing really happens

.

Ultimately, nothing happens to the American citizen

. It's not working out,

but I want to say this in the end.

Immigration is a huge thing. America is a

country of immigrants; it does

n't really have a race of its own, but nation-

states, like Turkey or

France, can do something like this if they don't want their population to assimilate

. What I'm trying to say is, it's

now up to America to decide on its own affairs

. This is my last question to you. So,

when America first came here, when you first

arrived, you were making good money

working, right? Is it

still ongoing now? So, are

people able to make money like they did when you first arrived?

They can't do it, sir. Because the

geek economy is over in America. So what do I mean

by Geek economics? I'll

do Amazon Flex, I'll do Dordeş, I

'll do Grab, I'll do Uber. We did it too, we made

all of these into limousines.

We've tried every kind of job here. But in this Geek Economy business, it's about

picking up and dropping off food

, picking up and dropping off passengers, and

being online whenever I want. With these,

we were seeing weekly earnings of $2,000,

$3,000, but keep going

.

But now it's out.

You were even making 2,000 to 3,000 dollars.

Yes. Did you know that Vymolar was released? They have

no Veymos. For example, right now

I'm

in Phoenix, and then in San Francisco, if there's such a thing as a self-driving car, I get in it and go places

. For example, as

their numbers increase over time,

they will eventually be unable to make any money. So the geek

economy is in a tough spot right now. That's what I

want to say. Restaurants, and then there's this too, of course:

people say, "Don't be fooled, there's

inflation in America too."

America also

has economic problems, though perhaps not as severe as in Türkiye. People aren't

spending money as lavishly as they used to.

He doesn't spend money either. That's also true. Yes. Let

me tell you about an even older story. When I first

came to America 202

years ago, the man was retired. I know him.

My friend owned a restaurant. I would go... to

New Jersey. The man is retired. The retired

man, for example, never cooked at home.

He ate all three of his meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—at that restaurant. He got married

at that restaurant, I mean, at your friend's

restaurant. Is something like that even possible now

? So let

me put it this way.

They don't place orders with the barber. So I

'm going to the barber. The guy says, "

Brother, the

guy who used to come for a haircut every two or three weeks, now he comes every two months. He's taking

Uber, a hospital worker who goes to work five days a week, takes

Uber one day, and if he's late, he takes the

train the other four days." Because they're taking Uber, and the

number of drivers has increased, the economy is in a tough

spot. And by the way, a

lot of immigrants have come,

everyone's doing this job,

prices have gone up, but why hasn't this been

reflected in the prices? For example, I look at Uber, and it's

still very expensive. It's even more expensive. I

was going from my house to Downtown. I used to

go for $25. Now

I go to the same place for $50.

Think about it, they're not even giving this money to the driver.

So I can say that the geek economy is a bit problematic

. I've been

doing e-commerce online for about two years now, for a long time

on Amazon. For the first three years,

I earned almost all my money from Amazon. After that,

I took a break for a year or two. For the past two

years, I've been earning my money through e-commerce again

. So it's not a matter for me

. But those who are going to come here should definitely

think about this. They shouldn't be taking the money they earn, the

money they make from the gig economy, and putting it into a

profession or here in a clandestine way

. You're saying the balance sheet is difficult. And

I always say this too.

If you have a profession,

you can earn money by coming here with that skill. My brother

and my teacher also have this... In America, you can learn a trade

very quickly with money you earn from the gig economy, Uber, or cleaning up after people

. There are

air conditioning courses and equipment courses that last 6 or 7 months

. So, there's a plumbing course that lasts 8 months, right?

A year later, my friend became a plumber.

She earns $40 per hour. It might seem like a small amount of money right now,

but $40 is a good

start

. $40 is separate. After that, my

toilet got clogged. The man came, installed a pipe, and

opened the toilet from the outside with a machine. Can it

be opened with a pump? The first $600 is $00

. Of course, when you start your own business and

you're a blue-collar worker instead of a white-collar worker in America, you might find yourself in serving

businesses like pressure washing,

garbage collection, plumbing, or

whatever. H h, there it is, that roof opens

. They all make a lot of money.

Now, let me

give you a website related to this.

More niche information. Thekch friends.

You can use THT. Those who come to America

immediately think of it.

There's an application called Th UMB TK Tamtek. If you

go there and say "I'm a refrigerator repairman," or "

I'm a repairman of such and such," then

you set up your website and enter your social media profile

. They're calling you,

they're inviting you. The refrigerator is broken,

this thing is broken.

This is fantastic, fantastic information, folks.

By the way, if you have this profession, you do

n't need to come to America. Right now [laughs]

a construction worker, a tile setter

comes and tiles an apartment

in a week. He takes the 200,000 L and leaves

. That's because I'm

new to this facility, and we've just started

construction on something roughly 2000 square meters. My guess is that I

come from a construction background. I'm a

construction worker myself. Despite this, it

turned out to be four times what I had calculated. So, it

comes out. I didn't give him an architect's name and have him do it either

. I found the masters.

I had it done by skilled craftsmen. I was at the beginning of the shift. Despite everything,

everyone, including

blue-collar workers in Türkiye, is

making good money right now. I always say that

going to university is a waste of time right now. Unless you're studying at

a very good university in a very good

department,

my friend,

learn a trade right after high school.

Learn a trade directly. Whether you come from Türkiye, from

America, or anywhere in the world,

you can make money. When I first

came to America, friends, I was a

construction foreman. I had a construction company in France

. I already told you. I

came to America 20 years ago. Do

you know what time it was 25 years ago? 20 dollars.

Wow,

what did $20 mean 25 years ago? Back then, the

minimum hourly wage was $4. Just

think, it was $

34. Do

you understand why I had a profession? I didn't

even have the paperwork back then. A

Jewish guy who worked me in a pit

in Staten Island didn't pay me.

After that, Mexicans were working.

I wasn't an illegal immigrant, though at the time I said that

Mexicans are illegal immigrants.

I told him I would report him for

employing an illegal Mexican worker, so

I took my money that way initially out of fear.

Wow [laughs]

thanks friend.

First of all, because you're carrying the items.

[Laughs]

We'll see each other in Türkiye,

brother.

Yes.

I'll come, God willing, if no furniture needs to be moved. To Mersin now? We

also have a moving company in Mersin that transports goods to Istanbul

.

I'll come after my project moves.

Good luck to those there.

Thanks, brother. See you guys later

. May

God protect everyone. Menet

continues the fight.
