True, I’ve run into some patriotic immigrants but they have been very, very (very) few compared to those who are always ready with some criticism or other for their new home, and stories of how great it is where they came from.

Can confirm this by the ones I’ve met and worked with — mostly in healthcare. Always a complaint about this country, NO interest in our history or founding, ALL about the shopping, the “gettin’” of whatever it is they want that for whatever reason, they can’t get back home. Always sending as much as they can “back home.” Always referring to this as “not home.” No interest really in staying, usually ....not even sure WHAT their future plans ever are ....just know they’re here, taking up jobs, using up resources ...maybe paying taxes, maybe not. Usually trying to outrun the HIB visa authorities. Usually just trying to get grandma and grandpa in for whatever healthcare bennies they can get. Always talking about home, eating food from home, talking in the language from home, and hanging out only with people from “home” or working on the next relative they can bring over “from home.”
Tell me — Why do we NEED this here??
Then there is the State Department pimping for ‘federal contractors’
