The Colombian TikToker andresal3 (@ANDRESOP) answered one of the questions many are asking: Is it a good idea to immigrate to the United States? And although he acknowledges that the job outlook is complicated, his message was clear: yes, it's possible, but one must be prepared.
In his video, which is already generating debate on social media, Andrés explained that the work situation "is a bit complicated," but that if you have a skill or trade that allows you to get by, or someone to take you in, the opportunities are greater.
"If you want to emigrate to the USA, go for it, man, don't be afraid of anything. There are a lot of opportunities for everyone here," he stated; however, he warned to be careful with the costs and risks: "Coming here... the expense plus the risk, whether it happens or not, that's another yes or no."
The TikToker recommended that those who want to emigrate assess their situation carefully: “If you are coming alone, I wouldn’t advise it,” and emphasized that having family or someone to support you in the United States can make a difference. In the end, his advice is clear: it is not impossible, but you need to arrive with skills or be willing to learn quickly.
In the reactions to the video, opinions were divided. One user commented: "I arrived not long ago and a thousand times I'm better here than in Colombia, one lives off money and work," while another asserted: "This is no longer the American dream." Others, however, support the idea of taking risks: "In life, you have to try everything; if it goes well, great, and if not, it doesn't matter."
The video already has 689 likes and 78 comments, and many users took the opportunity to leave their own advice. "Language is an advantage; if you don't know English, it's more difficult," said one user, while another added: "Learn a trade before coming, like barbering or electrician, if it's not complicated."
The debate remains heated: Is it a good idea to emigrate to the United States now? For some like andresal3, the answer is yes, but with caution. What do you think? Would you take the risk?
