Hey, guys. So in this video, I'm going to respond to some of the hate comments that
I've received over the past few weeks on my last two or three videos, I thought it'd be
important just to address it, and just kind of give you my take on it. So if you're interested,
I'll see you on the other side. Hello, everybody. So in this video, we're going to do something
a little bit different. Over the past couple of weeks, I've received quite a few comments
on our recent videos, and especially my last two videos, I received quite a few hate comments.
Now, I'm not saying that I don't get hate comments here and there, but it's been really
a lot. So, I thought, why don't make a video and react to some of these comments just kind
of give my take on it, and show that even though I'm making videos, I'm on the other
side of the camera. There is a human behind it. There's a person that's me, Jacob. And
so, I just wanted to give my take on those comments. I never take them personally but
I think it's important to react to some of them. Because we have a lot of people that
watch our channel, we have a lot of people to support us and always send me emails with
good feedback. And of course, being out there in public, it's normal that we're going to
get some comments. So in this video, we'll react to someone's comments. Once again, if
you’re here for the first time, if you've never seen any of our immigration videos,
and you want to see immigration information every single week, make sure you subscribe
to our channel. Click that bell to be notified. We release videos every single week. And click
the like on the video because if you don't, YouTube is not going to show the videos to
anyone. So, let's dive into the videos and start with the comments. The comments are
right here on my phones. I'm going to read them. And let's go from there. So, let's start.
First comment is from inverted reality, and he's saying, “Now, you're about following
the law? What a joke. You’re users. You only follow the law when it suits you. You
didn't show a difference to our laws when you came here, go home, they should be able
to get you out by means necessary. You're an infiltrator.” So, first of all, when
you tell somebody to get out, this is there's no… nobody can tell anybody to get out of
this country, right? So, yes, I'm an immigrant but I got my green card, I became a US citizen,
I'm helping immigrants. And this kind of attack is literally baseless in the fact that you're
telling me to go home. Why are you saying that? What is hurting you? I want to know
that. And when you say that I follow the law when it only suits me, what do you mean by
that? My purpose here is to pass the information to you, guys, to the audience. And when you
tell me that I follow the law, I always follow the law. I interpret the law in a way that
it's easy to understand to our people who view this channel. So, if you don't like it,
you can unsubscribe. I'll be more than happy to lose one subscriber. So thank you, inverted.
And hopefully, you're having a better day today. Our next comment was on one of my DACA
videos, and it's coming from RET USA. And let's see what he had to say. “You support
hiding illegal alien criminals from law enforcement, illegal alien created their own problem by
coming here illegally. Just go home. Problem solved.” Well, first of all, again, this
is my home. I'm a US citizen. I live here in San Diego, California. So, I don't know
where you want me to go but thanks for the offer. And as far as illegal criminals, remember,
people have been coming to the US for years, right? It's not the past 10 years, 20 years,
for centuries, people will come into the United States because we welcome immigrants, right?
And yes, some people don't come here in a legal way but they're trying to get themselves
legalized, right? And the reason people come here could be an escape for prosecution…
you don't know what's going on in people's lives. You don't know why they're fleeing
when they're fleeing. Maybe you're sitting in your home, watching Netflix in the comfort
of your home. While these people are trying to better their lives and save their families,
right? Running from genocide in Sudan or gang violence in El Salvador and you don't know
their stories. So, when you tell people “go home,” it's very easy to do that from your
couch. But you have to know their story first before you criticize. It's so easy to type
these comments on YouTube, from the comfort of your home, when you don't know the story
of these immigrants who are coming here from all over the world. So, I mean, this is my
home, I’m not going anywhere. When you say the illegal aliens created their own problems
by coming here, they're not coming here because they want to, they're coming here because
they have no other choice. So, think about that, too, before you make those comments.
The next comment is one of my favorites. And I'll tell you why. And Whitney Powers is saying,
“You're disgusting. You're helping criminals to come and stay in the United States. You're
nothing more than an ambulance chaser.” Now, Whitney, first of all, thank you for
this comment. And I'm sorry that you find me disgusting, most people don't. But if you
do, I feel bad. Anyway, if you accuse me of helping criminals to come here illegally,
that's not what I do. My job is to help people who need help and support to be able to legalize
themselves in the US, right? When people come here, I don't ask them why they came here.
You know, my job is to solve their problem. If someone is fleeing Sudan because they're
being chased down there by the government or if somebody is being threatened for their
lives by cartels in Mexico, and they finally end up in the US, they come to me to help
them, right? People are living in the US for 30 years undocumented and finally, they find
a way to become legal. An attorney like me can help them. That's what I do. That's my
job. I don't help criminals, right? And when you call immigrants, criminals, that's when
the problem starts in this country. Right? That's why we have such a big divide. So yes,
you can find me disgusting, it's all right but telling me that I help criminals? That's
not right because they're not criminals. They're human beings and you got to remember that
too. Our next comment is from Josh. And Josh is saying, “It's scary that the government
gets to decide who comes in? So, what would be not scary to you? Just letting everybody
in? You must be pretty far left.” So, Josh, it's not that I'm in favor of letting everybody
in. I'm just saying that there should be a more reasonable system, current immigration
process to be able to decide how people are coming in here and letting people who are
waiting for years getting their green card and visas in a reasonable time. That's all
I said in the video, right? You kind of took it out of context in the fact that you accuse
me of being far left. I never choose a side, right? All I'm doing right now is, in my career
as an immigration attorney, just helping immigrants to be able to get their paperwork, the legal
way, right? So, the government has an immigration system that hasn't been changed in 20 years.
So, guess what? It's frustrating, it's broken, and who is left to fix it? People like me,
right? So, I'm sorry that you're frustrated. But that's just how it is. The next comment
is from David Baker. And David’s saying, “How stupid is this? This video will be
awkward if the Supreme Court passes DACA in a few days.” So, basically, David is responding
to a video that I did on DACA, basically kind of giving my opinion as to what will happen
if the Supreme Court will cancel DACA, and I gave some opinions of what people can do.
Well, honestly, David, if they'll pass DACA and let it stay, and eventually becomes the
DREAM Act, trust me, I'll do another video. And I'll apologize for my wrong assessment.
And that'll be the best day of my life, right, letting DACA pass and we make a mistake in
a video comment that I made? So, thanks for this comment though. But I'm not going to
feel awkward if DACA passes. Trust me I want to. The next comment is from Williams McCourt,
and he's saying, “As someone who needs help with my immigration proceedings, I can't help
but notice that you are taking advantage. You're using this to further your career at
the hands of people who are desperate. I'm sticking with my attorney. This guy is a joke.”
Well, first of all, thanks for watching my video. That's already a thing, right? If you
watched my video, it means I've done something right. And when you say that I'm taking advantage,
I'm not taking advantage by spending hours of my time for free making three videos a
week, every single week for the benefit of people like you who already have attorneys,
right? And maybe don't get the information that you need from your attorneys so you’re
coming to my channel, right? And so, I'm doing all this for free to help people. Yes, we
charge for consultations. Yes, we charge for our services, of course. That's what attorneys
do. But the time that we spent to educate the public, and spread information for free,
this is really what I feel is my legacy, right? If you’re thinking that I'm taking advantage,
tell me how. I still don't get it. The last comment is from Lou Bay. And he says, “The
law office knows it's unconstitutional. Came illegally, stop taking money, and advantage
of people. Jacob, you will only take their money and rip DACA. Obama messy. Law didn't
sign the bill, only orally. Jacob, you are worse than Barack Obama. Bad attorney.”
So Lou, unfortunately, your writing skills and not the best and I feel bad for you but
what I'm trying to say is that your reaction to my DACA video obviously makes you angry.
And all I did in that video is gave my perception and opinion as to what may happen if the Supreme
Court will stop DACA and not allow any further renewals or take this problem further, right?
That's all I said. But apparently you're not happy with DACA, you're not happy with the
people who got DACA and you're frustrated for whatever reason. Unfortunately, I can't
help you. And if you think that I'm… if you compare me to Barack Obama, that's actually
a compliment. And I thank you for that. And that's an amazing way to end this video because
somebody compared me to Barack Obama. Perfect. So Lou, hopefully, you'll feel better. And
trust me, I really want DACA to pass. And I'll do whatever it takes to help people that
are here on DACA to get their stamps. Unfortunately, I can’t help you further. And if you think
I'm a bad attorney, well, what can I say? I'll go home and cry tonight. So, there you
have it, guys, I just chose a few of the hate comments, there were quite a few of these
past two weeks. So, if you liked this video, making responses to hate comments, I'll make
probably a few more as we get them. But again, I don't encourage those hate comments but
I just wanted to kind of give a little bit of a reaction. Again, I'm doing my job. I'm
trying to give that information for free for your benefits. We have a lot of people who
