    I'm an American living in the state of Arizona one of the current hot spots for what we generally refer to as "the immigration issue". I have no university thesis to drop in your comment section. My experience has been that America is a nation of immigrants who love to complain about other immigrants. The groups change overtime but the conversation is always the same.

      Your blinders are on sir. The more immigrants we take it, the lower the cost of labor is driven, and the higher cost for key things like housing

      @@Kim_YoJong Madam, I wasn't implying anything by my statement, the words are intended to be taken quite literally. I have no special wisdom or insight regarding the immigration issue other than the fact that the same talking points have been repeated verbatim throughout history.

    I like your accent a lot, though it sounds more Russian than Bulgarian to me

      Glad to hear that. :) Well, it's Slavic blood after all. :)

    I'd really like to hear more about obscure literature from you but maybe tone down the political commentary a little. Just felt a bit excessive

      Thank you. I'd be glad if you would stick around. While I won't be hiding my political views per se, I definitely don't plan for my videos to be this political in general. ;)
