Alabama’s Unfenced Homes Shocked This South African…

[00:00:00]South African Jason Bartlett moved to Alabama.

[00:00:02]>> My name's Jason and I'm a white South African and I'm here on my farm in North Alabama.

[00:00:09]And we just had a beautiful rain. As you can see, it's studying the sheep are down over there. Come little guy.

[00:00:15]>> [screaming] >> Come on.

[00:00:18]First day of life is awesome.

[00:00:22]And the cattle over there. Everything's wet and moist and it's so beautiful. But you know what's even more beautiful?

[00:00:30]Is I've been on this farm for more than a year and I have not been been tortured, my cattle haven't been butchered alive, nothing's been stolen.

[00:00:40]Ah, that is so awesome. Yes, me the whole time. It's not This is normal. How beautiful is this? It's quiet, quaint, and safe. Show you what America first immigration looks like. It looks like this. A white South African who fled from persecution in South Africa to come look for safety and freedom in America.

[00:01:01]And what do I do in return as a favor to the American people for warmly welcoming people like myself?

[00:01:09]I come out and I work, I go to church, and I raise cattle, and I raise sheep so that I can provide good quality lamb and good quality beef for the American people. I don't open a luring center and try steal billions of dollars from the taxpayers. I don't have any handouts. I come and I work hard and I provide something back for the community and for the country. So, if you're looking for me, I'm out here busy moving the fences for the the sh- new sheep pasture. As you can see, I cut some lines. It's windy, it's hot, it's humid, but we are absolutely thriving. I had to share something with you just because it's always good to have a moment of silence and a lot of the time this is where I come. Uh before the greens get mowed, before the sun comes up, but I hang around here a lot just walking and thinking what we're going to do on the golf course and what I'm going to do on the farm later and so forth. And you can see why. You just it's just beautiful. The birds are coming alive.

[00:02:11]You see my golf cart is down there.

[00:02:12]We're about to lay some sod.

[00:02:15]The sun is coming up over a mountain.

[00:02:19]It It's very difficult to not appreciate this.

[00:02:24]And I think you've got to take those little moments in life and just appreciate your freedoms, your safeties, your securities, and just the American way of life.

[00:02:35]You notice one thing very, very distinct.

[00:02:39]And I know every South African watching this is going to say the same thing.

[00:02:43]You see those houses over there?

[00:02:47]None of them have 8 to 10 12-ft security fences to keep people out from attacking them.

[00:02:56]They've got small little fences and um those are privacy fences or to keep dogs in.

[00:03:03]And those dogs aren't to protect people. They're to be companions and friends to people, like my little coffee.

[00:03:11]Um yeah.

[00:03:15]So, that's just some food for thought, man.

[00:03:18]It is beautiful to live like this.

[00:03:20]To live This to me is the American dream, to live in a house that doesn't need a 10-ft fence around it. Man, I love America. Anyway, you guys have a great day. I'm off to church to thank the one and only God who made this all possible.

[00:03:35]>> South African Jason Bartlett moved to Alabama and one thing still doesn't feel real to him, how little security he needs. Back in his country, locks, gates, electric fences, and security systems were just part of everyday life.

[00:03:48]You didn't think twice about it. That's just how people lived. Then he came to Alabama and suddenly he found himself living in neighborhoods where people weren't surrounded by walls, razor wire, and layers of security. For Jason, that was the culture shock. Not bigger houses, not wider roads, just the feeling of being able to relax. And that's what makes stories like this so interesting. Sometimes Americans don't realize how normal certain things feel until someone from another country points them out. The more foreigners share their experiences, the more we're reminded that some parts of everyday American life can look very different through someone else's eyes. Thanks for stopping by and as always, may God bless America.
