Last night I was at work and finally had enough several people who are immigrants here constantly talk about how much they dislike America, and things American. Finally, having heard enough I asked them plain and simple "Why did you come here, and why do you stay if you hate it so much?". I work in healthcare and due to the demand many people from other countries come here to work, from the Phillipines, Africa and many are from the Carriebean. Honestly, I never hear the nurses from the Phillipines speak badly of America except to say they miss home.
People might think that I am one of those anti-immigrant folks that constantly harp against immigration nothing could be further from the truth. My family are fourth generation Italians and believe that immigration is a good thing. However, no one in my family has ever said they hate America or point out every thing that is wrong.
