10:34 pm
. people do not have access to the bank account. and i being able to get my paycheck has been very difficult. so i think it's it's time for us to understand the importance of humanitarian aid for honest on and knowing that we should not let the people suffer any more. joining us today, we have a rash hum into a new lot. they're going to explain why they are so relevant to today's conversation. a rash, welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to audience. hi everyone, my name is alex. as other i may african american community organizer and based in los angeles, california. and i would say i'm a product of this placement. my parents were evacuated much like the other guests
10:35 pm
were, except they were evacuated and came ramirez from the 1980s. i got to handle hummel's tele, international audience, who you are, what you do have what you're bringing to the shelter day. thank you for having me and show. my name is tom and i'm a blogger, and freelance journalist. i got evacuated on august 23rd and i arrived in the us on august 27 as part of the american air list mission. and so i wasn't the camp for $45.00 days and i've worked less and it's been 20 days that i am out is out of the camp and i'm currently based silverspring, maryland. all right, so thank you. welcome to the scene. we're going to have more about your experiences over the last couple of weeks. very thin me lab, welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to audience. thank you so much for
10:36 pm
having me on the show. my name is neela godaddy and i was evacuated in august. i arrived here in the united states on the 27th of august, and i'm based in fairfax, virginia right now. thank you. me laugh. all right, so if you're watching right now and you're on youtube, what would you like to either ask or share with the afghans who are on i show today, they have resettled in the us. what would you like to austin? the comment section is here. i will do my best to put your comments into today's show. um it, if you were going to be truly, truly honest, very candid how is resettlement going, the you well, i mean, i mean it's definitely better after a very long time of this thing and the cams around 45 days. i mean,
10:37 pm
finally, i felt i started to feel relieved, a little bit knowing that i'm, i'm, i'm getting resell and one of the american cities. so that, that was a big relief actually. but the thing, as the research man has its own challenges, it's not easy. we need to go through a very long and sometimes slow going process of resettlement. there are some problems because i think it's the nature of any kind of resettlement, any, any part of the world because it's not easy to to feel like home where you go to a foreign country to get settled. i think part of the problem is natural. we need to go through the experience, but also i think due to a large number of got to be back, paid it recently and the low number of agency i, i kind of you,
10:38 pm
but there are some problems. i think the there are some problems in terms of housing. i can see, i mean i'm in touch with other africans who got out of the camp recently. the also have some issues with the housing and other issues. so i think in my case i still, i still don't have my own apartment yet because you know, you need to face some problems if you don't have credit history with the rent thing and leaving and stuff. so you, you kind of base this kind of because how thing is the, one of the most important one that i would say is the 1st thing that we need to guess in order to get to resettle. so there are some problems in terms of solving. there are some problems in terms of,
10:39 pm
we don't know yet when we're going to get our social security number. we don't know yet when we're going to get our work permit. so these are some issues that i think we all africans share africans who got out of a rush this, these are all every day entry points for life in america. but when you start to break it down, what you can't do, if you don't have the information or the document, can you explain that for our international audience? well, i think, you know, these are obviously challenges that anybody faces, regardless of whether they're refugees, you're marginalized personally, united states. these are things you deal with. but also if you're somebody who's attempting to find a living wage earner, affordable housing somewhere in the united states, it's going to be in it's, you know, obviously these refugees have the obstacles. they get in the way of them in
10:40 pm
regards to having to be displaced. having the science, human dignity and safety in record here in the united states. and then they come here where there is just, there was a level of unpreparedness. the evacuation that happened in august was ad hoc. it was not prepared. and that's why other guests on this show, you know, and others so many other thousands of africans had to sit at military base and have a very uncomfortable stay where they had to know where to close that they fled with what they did not have access for example, one of the issues that we're dealing with this access to, to when they're clothing because they are essentially sleeping and ad hoc and tense across military bases in places like wisconsin where we understand it can get very cold in winter. and so these are just obstacles that,
10:41 pm
that these folks are facing. and that's just the short term view. that's the issues we're dealing with in november and december of 2021. and then some of the issues that we're trying to assist as a community organization, as community members, is getting folks from settled making the mrs. success story in the united states. there are many obstacles. many of them are a governmental because the united states government on a basis, federal and state level has not stepped up enough to accommodate. i am going to show our audience on my laptop, the states receiving afghan refugees. some of the biggest states here in california over 5000 afghans in california right now in texas over 4000 in florida over a 1000 and look at the northern states. it's already getting a little chilly around the dc area, which is here, which is red. ne love is, but up in the northern states, if you, if you fled from afghanistan in august,
10:42 pm
can you imagine what, what do you have? what do you have with you if you're up in these northern states here? i would love you new lab, you sent us some pictures of your journey from afghanistan to the united states. i'm going to start with one at the airport. will you talk us through what happened? let's start with that 1st picture. what are we seeing here? any lab well, it was one of the traumatic experience of my life. when we arrived to this point, and i took this picture out, i was so exhausted and tired. my kids for this is my oldest daughter, santa. and you can tell from her face, out for years and now tired, she look because we see some really green condition, a sense we decided to leave off on a while. it was in transit while it was on the way to the airport
10:43 pm
on board. all i mean, throughout the evacuation process it was like really hard. it was extremely hard, but i as one of our friends, it was an ad hoc, the response to the very particular emergency situation. but however, when i was competing in what's happening in this picture here? well, this picture has a good story because that's my son, omar. the other one is malala. yeah. and my oldest one. 0 my told me that look at a mommy you said that the us soldiers are leaving and there will be a war in the country. look, there are here all ready and they have all the immune nation and everything. so why they just don't go out of the 4th?
10:44 pm
oh, yeah, it was the for me, it was the, i didn't know parents would like to, i would like for their children to experience such a thing. but unfortunately, my children went through this experience and hopefully it will have some positive things for them in the coming future. more shots i want to show this is on a military across. tell me more about that part of the journey. yes, this was the aircraft that we came by. it was basically packed. it was a cargo airplane. so we were pack just of materials. and the good thing was when the, when we just moved into the plane, the officers officers and the people there would say move forward,
10:45 pm
move forward because your sisters and brothers are waiting outside and we have to evacuate them as well. so that's a sentence would gave us more strength and we would just even shrink ourself and make more places renewed. what, what's happening outside. and we had to deal with it and we had to accommodate. i want to bring in a new voice into our conversation. this is jennifer voice. jennifer is basically calling out the united states, the not being prepared, not being ready to help the afghans that had to flee their country. this is what she told us earlier. how may i would love you to comment of the back of jennifer's video? a united states has long been preparing to withdraw from afghanistan. united states was not prepared at all to deal with a massive influx of afghans that were going to come as part of the resettlement process. it's very difficult for afghan still to apply for asylum. it's very
10:46 pm
expensive for them to do so they have to go to 3rd country. people are stuck in a bureaucratic mess. it is so hard. and so i'm there in time. and you so many of these regulations with the signature of his pen and he chooses not to do so. and we don't understand why. how many, when you write that will can't, they will still building it. i think that was really true because of the influx of afghans who got evacuated from afghanistan. i was, i mean, immense. and that's obvious that the american government was not really prepared for such a mound of african refugees pouring into the us and the other, you know, processing centers and middle east europe. i think the influx of africa is actually
10:47 pm
out. i think our pays the, the, the screening process and other other process and because every africans they need to go through go through a different layers of screening, waiting process and medical check up. so do you know the process in terms of logistical problem? i think that was a big challenge for the american government. would you mind at all what i would you might excuse me, would you mind if i bring up one point that you shad online on twitter, that was a logistical issue. and, and, and you helped solve a problem for the camp and just coming to my laptop at not complaining, this is how met. but this is what i caught last night for dinner. and the next meal is 12 hours later refugee life might be safe, but never easy and favorable for place el paso,
10:48 pm
texas. and that was your dinner. yeah, ma'am. so that you to give a little bit context seduce me, is exact meal as the from the 1st few days that i, i was, i just arrived at the camp and i was one of the 1st you will, you know, life that i came into the camp so this situation was not really good that's, that's not, that's not me. that's not just me thing. is that what i think that's what the camp officials would also say that you are not really prepared. i could see as we came at the time the tents were being made, the more facilities are being improved. so all the things that we see when that like when they came out of the cam, it was
10:49 pm
a totally different camp. you know, when i, when i compared to when i entered the cam so, so this is a very long process of installing the facilities and all of the mixture, hands on all the discipline order. and everything was a, has a gradual improvement which is good. we actually, it was part of our contribution was the fact that a lot of africans included our in our team. we actually formed a group of volunteers to kind of have a contribution. and so forward to the offshore, to the camp officials because they need they needed feedback on how to get the, how they can improve the condition in the camp and how they can connect to the afghans and get those feedback. i think we, we served as a bridge between the africans and when the camp offshore. and i think this is mean
10:50 pm
a means of communication between africans officials. i think that it helped a lot to bring some improvements. and the condition of them are irrational, going to move on to you. i'm going to share this video, comment with you that comes from sharissa, a passing. she's an immigration attorney, and she talks about the challenge of finding. let me say status, what is your status? and the stress of not knowing what your status is as an afghan refugee in the united states. his unless we have legislation pass that will grant the afghans permanent residency status. the biggest, biggest challenge that the africans associates will be in the coming months in the coming year as they start to leave the u. s. government facilities. because they are all for all on girls that as a temporary status, which grant them unauthorized period of stay only 2 years, they will need to seek alternative routes to
10:51 pm
a green card either through the program, through their family members or in the alternative through a silent youngins will also be subject to the same rules, the same laws as everyone else here, either some kind of temporary status or permanent residency are just wondering how many afghans are in the united states who slides in the past few months. do we know, do we have an estimate? i think the rough estimate that we've been hearing, whether that's, you know, more informal, informal conversations. we're having, we're refugee, we set them and organizations both department of homeland security. we're looking at roughly a $100000.00 and folks. and 3rd, the united states and in some capacity and sharif actually makes it really great point. and this is one of the advocacy points that we're focused on, especially in these weeks and coming next week, we're spending some days virtually on capitol hill, advocates for afghans who have entered a country through you manage their role,
10:52 pm
which is just the way to enter the country to seek asylum, it's not a pathway to legal status, it's not an ability to get a green card. it's not an ability to have a pathway towards eventual citizenship. and you know, you know jennifer and made the point earlier to divide administration can do a lot. administrative. congress has an obligation, a moral one and a political one as well. to pass legislation pass benefits for parolee, swept into the country up until 2022. anyway. what they can do is take this even further and create a pathway to legal status, to citizenship, to bring hard boulder for asking for lisa and country so that they can become part of the american fabric. they are here any way you know there, whether they are sitting on military basis or whether they are in virginia and silver spring, maryland or somewhere here in california somewhere and fly over america. well,
10:53 pm
they'll be entering and being and be part of new community. this past weekend i saw a video of 3 young children. all teens are younger who obviously do not really have the ability to speak english, but they were true. the trick or treating are already. and so every part of america, you know, they are, but they're about to go through what i entered, which is this like complex dual identity. and there's, there's that to be navigated the as well. but why can the, like the policy makers in congress in the white house make this so much easier by allowing them become part of the american fabric i. rash need 100. we have so many questions for you. this is going to be the speed round instant questions, instant says, alright, this one is on twitter in the lab, you take this one very simple on twitter. she's on my laptop here,
10:54 pm
adapt and integrate. just that phrase, adapt and integrate. can you relate to that, or do you want to get some push back? yes, actually, it's to a great word about an integrated we are that what we are already doing. but i'm so fortunate because i and my family have were able to come to the united states in 2017 and we got our especially migrant weezer status in 2017. and that's how we got our green card. so we were coming and going back and forth. so pretty much we adopted many things that we had to do and my children the same way. and my children were very lucky, unfortunate to go to an international cooling cobble where they got to learn the language. and now they're adopting pretty well. but i'm so worried for the kids. and for the children who came from rural areas of afghan, a son,
10:55 pm
they might to face a lot of challenges and to go to adapt and to integrate in this new culture a new everything is completely new for them. yeah. yeah. i think it's very important point to adapt to and integrate, but it's not a single the rents, you know, it's a very long process for especially for those. and i know that i don't know the exact statistics, but i would say i would, i was saying that the majority of africans lead are now here are those africans to be 0 english. i mean, this is the, this, this, the, the 1st step to, you know, sort of adapt and integrated. and they really need to go through a layers of, you know, challenges 1st. they have language barriers,
10:56 pm
the face goes for soc and american community. and i think this is a very long term process it's, it's not that it's not that against wooden light to adopt an inch of it. but i think we need to be patient, at least for a majority of africans to so sort of what they need infrastructure is they need education. they need her trainings, danny, they need to be need to have, you know, other services until they and they kind of feel themselves into them, the american communities and start to adopt an interview. so for part of a school already worked with the americans are, is there american government or american age years? it could be much easier to adapt and it's great, but the still is a very long term pass. say i want to show something to you and guests and also
10:57 pm
audience. there was a pole that was done quite recently about american public opinion. what they felt about afghans who had worked with the u. s. forces, who are in the united states. and what they thought about afghans who had not what with the u. s. forces, and there's a very big difference there in public opinion and where the support lies. i'm sure that you will actually see that in the lab. and how made an a rush in your work and in your, your daily life. i have a look here on my laptop. this is the international rescue committee. and they ask something that you actually ask every time we do a show like this, how can i welcome afghans to my community? you can donate, you can volunteer. you can translate, you can house a refugee family. you can hire a refugee if you're a business owner, so many ways to help a rash. ha, made me laugh. thank you so much for being part of the string today. appreciate you
