Becoming Americanize is speaking English as your first language & native tongue.
That has been my experience also and I agree totally with your last sentence also.

Americans have always done so-called grunt work aka blue-collared jobs. Try again.

I was addressing the fact that the OP seems to be wandering through life thinking all Americans have a common culture and speak English.

americans know how to use a smartphone, they can't create an app or create a network though.

there are plenty of skilled jobs available in this country, the problem is Americans are not skilled enough for the positions. we are a service based country, restaurants, fast food, retail, thats what we do well.
The best engineers are from north america. Who creates most startups ? Asian immigrants ? Or american kids ? The asians are not as skilled, period. They are just cheaper.

"Americans can't create an app". This is ludicrous. Who created the environment ? The language ? Who creates most apps ? Who created the whole freaking high tech industry ? Asians ??? Or americans ? You're so racist.

I would lose my mom. That would make me sad and just a bit jealous because she would be moving to a wealthier, safer nation.

So I'm just curious, what is stopping you from moving there?

What grunt jobs? Unless you're talking about working in the fields; over 90 percent of illegal aliens do jobs that used to pay well like construction.
