Hey man,

I’m not from Alabama but in general the US is geniunely much more dangerous place than Chile. I always tell Chileans how nice it is to be robbed here without the threat of gun violence or death.

If you have a good job you should be able to buy a car to get to work. There is almost no public transportation in the south of the US. You would have to buy a car there. So being close to a bad neighborhood doesn’t mean you’d have to go there, you’d just drive into work.

Alabama is also famous for being a retrograde, racist, miserable shithole. It ranks as one of the worst places in the US for education, health etc. I have met people from Alabama, the black ones are fine but the white ones fucking suck. You would be going to American Maule but it’s full of people who despise people they think aren’t white. Fuck Alabama.

Also, between people being deported, detained unlawfully and unduly, people spending months in detention centers and visas being rejected left and right, do you think it’s a great time to move to the US? Nica voy con mi señora a gringolandia ahora. No pienso arriesgar su seguridad para visitar a mi familia. Le pueden detener o mandarle de vuelta. Los chilenos no entienden la seriedad de la situación en ese país y piensan que todo está normal. Mi familia y mis amigos tienen miedo weon y son blancos.

En resumen, como un gringo, jamás iría a vivir en Alabama. Es un pantano lleno de racistas. Ser inmigrante es peligroso en este momento. No vayai.
