If you hate how we roll in America, WHY the "F" are you here?
Are there not any schools, colleges, ways of life where you come from?
WHY do you wish to dump on America but LOVE the money, education, businesses and exllecent living standards you get when you come here?
MYTH...The myth still prevails that American streets are paved in gold and everyone is Hollywood. This attitude and perception of America is still strong all over the world. I know immigrants who have landed in America who figure out quickly that it is not all HOLLYWOOD...and they make a dash to Canada. Your public school system is inferior...Your banking system can not be fully trusted---most of your major cities and towns have decaying infrastructures...you have hundreds of ghettos...guns are much to common..and your cops are paid the same rate as fast food workers...don't gloat- You are not as cool as you think.
Free speech. Free speech. What free speech- Political correctness is so powerful these days people have to carefully choose each single word that comes out of their mouth. The other day my youngest son was sitting with his artsy friends and commented on the hair of a his buddy who had grown out a mass of curls that extended from the sides of his head. He said "Look Chad has got some Jew curls going on" He was severely reprimanded by everyone at the table including his girlfriend who worked for a liberal politician. He left the table feeling very centered out and abused...I mentioned to him- You can't say JEW you have to say JEWish..He is far from a hater of Jews - he has no hate for anyone or group.
For instance I am not permitted to say I find certain persons or groups unpleasant...I can not say that I do not like certain things...,I can not be a critic of evil...There is no free speech - it is a great myth in America. Even youth using social media have a catch word for anyone that is in disagreement- "HATER" - You are frustrated from free thinking - there is no free thinking and their is no free speech.
On the other hand if you live in Canada or America compared to most of the world...even our poorest live well- no one starves and no one with common sense needs to go without shelter.
Foreigners and illegals can live better than Americans that are born here because of social programs that pay their bills .. they live very well . Better than the working poor who were born here and can't get a hand up from the government . No birth right here.

There are great aspects about life in the U.S. and not-so-great aspects about life in the U.S. The same can be said for any other country. Just because someone is foreign doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to vocalize that.
Some foreigners have been handed $10,000 as they arrive here..they have their rent paid.. if they can't find a job , that state will hand them a few thousand dollars to relocate in another state.. foreigners who arrive here and get the star treatment spread the word.
States automatically have programs to help with money to newly arriving families .
My step son who is in his thirties was born in Canada..His grand parents came here in 1860....He met a girl and moved to Cyprus and married her. They had a child and then they made a run for it after the Greek economic collapse. They came back to Canada and he works his ass off and can not make ends meet. Immigrants who are not even legal can access social programs to get help- He has no birth right- an immigrant gets service and he is told to go away.
My brother does Dish installs $12PH and his wife works at the casino $10PH. They have an old farm house on 32 acres in Upper Michigan. He has snow mobiles 4 wheelers a 4 WD to go muddin a boat for fishin. He heats his home with timber he cuts off his property or nearby state land. He is happier than a pig in sheet and everytime I go up there, hunting season, I have a blast.
You can have your puny flat and universal health care in some tedious over taxed and over burneded European municipality. But nowhere and I mean NOWHERE in Europe can you live like my brother does on the wages he makes.
Happiness is about choices, there are more choices in the US
