Hi Julia, nowadays a popular destination to live in a cheaper way is Medellin, Colombia. But it causes a problem called gentrification, For foreigner people the cost of life is so cheaper, but for the local people it is a huge problem because foreigners increase the cost of the rent a lot, arround 200% in the last year.

@@ThisisYulia you are turbocharging prices where you go. It's not "everywhere" the same, where a place is hyped up, like Lisbon...locals in big trouble, I wonder if white rich immigrants have something to do with it ...

This RESPECT thing is sick. It's so easily converted into the "get out of our country" thing in every argument with the locals.

Thanks for the video. I think your perspective was mainly based on the profile of white immigrants who are wealthy enough back in their home countries. However, I want to bring to the conversation immigrants like farm workers or general laborers from poor/less developed countries. I've met many Mexicans who work their asses off here in canada, working at nurseries, greenhouses, farms, etc. I know that people look down at them, and I even heard some cases of abuse that even reached court. These workers keep the industries running with all the hours and hard work they put in, we should be thankful for that! Also, I've met some asylum seekers from Africa, which also have a very hard time here with discrimination, even though they are also really hard workers. My point is: lets remember that not all immigrants are white, wealthy, or highly educated, but they are still valuable humans, and they have hopes and dreams like everyone else.

Love that you're talking about this, Yulia!! I don't think it's difficult to understand that expats are simply looking for a better life. However, I can understand the local's frustration when it comes to things like expats not even trying to learn the language or not respecting the culture.... But if there was an opportunity in my home country for expats to come and live a better life and they're doing so in a legal and respectful way, then by all means!

No one has the right to just pack and and move to any country they feel like, and no country has the obligation to let anyone in. If you move to another country be thankful instead of thinking you are entitled to be there.

I'm a Canadian immigrant living in Portugal. Canada has about 500,000 Portuguese immigrants. So the immigration flows both ways. I appreciate the mutual acceptance on both sides of the Atlantic.

Do you think your experiences as a migrant remotely looks like a portuguese in Canada?Do you think Portuguese in Canada expect labels in Portuguese?special visas?tax breaks...it is not the same situation, not even near

Very good presentation about the presence of immigrants in they adopted country. Tough and humiliating when hearing negative comments when you’re trying to be respective and law abiding as an immigrant.

Throughout history, humans have always migrated from one place to another, so it's not something unique to our time. The practice of blaming immigrants for the economic and political issues facing their host countries is a form of scapegoating by the local population. Thanks for the video Yulia :)

Never in the history of humans as it been so easy and fast to migrate to other places and in such huge numbers as it is now, so no, it's not the same thing.

As an expat living in a different country for the past 2 years, I've heard on various occasion to go back to my country, i just chalk it up to them being miserable or other factors because I offer no negative contribution to this country, then on the other hand, you have the tourists who visit here and usually assume I'm from here. 😂

Yulia, you are 100% right, as usual. I see these Americans, some have been there for years already, are not going to learn the language. There are not interested, which I think is a bit unfair. Learning the language and the culture is a sign of respect. Obrigado pelo video.

Hi Yulia! Thank you for sharing your experience. Honestly, I cannot even imagine 2500 euro-rent in Lisbon😳It's insane for both expats and locals. We moved to New Zealand and haven't seen any rudeness from locals. Maybe the reason is that many of them are former immigrants. At the same time, the prices are not increasing extremely fast for them, and immigrants are a kind of cheap workforce.

You guys are inmigrants, not "expats"

The real problem is a combination of several things. Part of the problem is what you correctly pointed out, but allowing huge numbers of people to move in is also a big problem, if you don't see that you're either lying or are way too naive.

Expats? The right word is Immigrants.

like everyone else we’re just looking for a better place to live! It’s ridiculous to feel guilty just because you came from a wealthier country, we literally bust our asses to achieve a higher income! it’s not like someone from the government came to us and made us a millionaires lol

"EXPATS" Ok immigrant😂

- Expats should not be hated! *Proceeds to tell a whole list of reasons on why to hate expats* xd Now, seriously, I think you mixed up the term expat and immigrant. Your "good" characteristics for expats are just the characteristics of immigrants. I don't think anyone would complain of an English comming to Spain, opening their bussiness, learning Spanish, and integrating into the community. That's what you'd call an immigrant. The problem comes when the expat comes. The digital nomad that only gets lunch at the only-English speaking, expat/tourist oriented "brunch restaurant", only talks with other expats, and doesn't even create jobs or pay that much taxes. All things you also admitted to be red flags. Although the dictionary says expat and immigrant are synonyms, no one here uses these words as such, but as I've described up here. That's the reason of all the hate towards expats, at least where I live. Hope I could clarify a bit the terms and explained myself well, have a great day! :)
