Why do so many immigrants come here? Because our country is better than theirs.
I hear immigrants say stuff like, “well, in my country, they do it this (somehow better) way”... And when they’re asked why they’re here, they say basically they’re just here for the money. What they fail to realize is that all of these freedoms we have from the Bill of Rights are what set up such a powerful economy in the first place. Without those freedoms, there would be none of that money that they came here for. That’s why their country’s economy didn’t give them enough reason to stay. Our country is better.
I keep thinking of Robin Williams, playing the Russian immigrant in an american grocery store: “Where is the coffee line?”
