Why every one wants to come to America and yet they don't want to be Americans?

Question

It seems that everybody wants to come to America to live yet they don't want to learn English so the can communicate. They hate American food,culture and all that is american They want the benefits that America offers only. I was shocked to see all of those demonstrators Carrying all the flags of other countries except the american flag and yet they want to be Americans.Hypocrits.

Answer 1

I agree. I feel knowing how to speak English s/b one of the prerequisites to receiving social service benefits, driver's license and whatever other benefits there are available to Americans. People from other countries come here and learn how to work the system. If congress wants to do something to deter illegal immigs, they should start with the above.

Learning to speak other languages s/b mandatory in our school systems, because the way it's heading if u are not bilingual, you may find yourself in the unemployment line

Answer 2

When you say, help start a war somewhere that demonstrates the problem. Wars are spoken about like it's a game of chess or snakes and ladders. We should all be looking at ways to avoid war. The problem is that if a country does things different to the Americans or the Brits we all think it's our job to cross borders and sort it all out. We don't own the world, maybe it's time to stop poking our noses in everywhere. I'm talking about the Brits and the Americans, both as bad as each other. Europe is in a right old state at the moment, unemployment is through the roof, yet we preach our model of society to everybody else

Answer 3

This is a good question, but it was posed wrong. I am from Europe, came here 7 years ago and getting my citizenship in about 30 days. Why SOME people don't want to speak English is because USA let them do it, having all these thing's so convenient for Spanish people, especially. Why or why? If I can learn English, why can not they? And then when they form their own cities full of gangs and violence, we are asking our selves WHY? well, because your government let them.
when it comes to not respecting USA...You can not say that everyone is like that, but I agree that most people are. Some of them are just more in love with their home land, and some of them are plain hating this country. It is mostly people that came here in a way that forbids them to come back again if they leave USA and go to their country. They miss it and they love it, but they can not see it. That gives some rage to people.
Me personally, I love my homeland, and will never forget it. I respect the country I live in, pay my taxes, love some of the freedoms that are available here, but will complain about some of the policies just like you will too, as a born American.

Answer 4

What a load of crap. Every group of people who come to to the US follow the same pattern. The 1st generation speaks little or no English, 2nd because they have been to school are bi-lingual and by the 3rd generation the kids are almost assimilated with limited language skills for their grandparents native country.

The same has applied to Italians, Poles, Germans, Russians Greeks etc. And it applies to Mexicans which is who your vile peice of vitriol is aimed at.

No one complains about the Irish flags at the ST Paddy parades or the Isreali flags at the support Isreal rallies that are held on the anniversary of that nations founding. But for some reason you seem to have a case of the @$$ for Mexicans. wonder why that is?

Next time you type the word hypocrit hold up a mirror so you can see what one really looks like.

Answer 5

To get the best of both worlds. It's like getting a free chocolate bar, beacuse you got a sweet deal and didn't have to pay for it. If you don't catch my drift, then let me explain. People want to come here for some peace and quiet because of all the good things they heard about this country, thinking there's work and prosperity. You get here and you realize that there's more crime, less culture, and the government is hated worldwide. Crime goes unpunished, there's a trend for a lack of education, and alot of senseless partying. You get stuck with a poor job, and you can't go back to your home land because the kids will get held back in school back there. So you live here hating that you ever came in the first place. Does that make you american or canadian? Nope.

Answer 6

I was born in Canada and have been living in the US since I was 12. I haven't become an American and haven't burned a flag. I love american food and culture and I speak english. I pay my share of taxes...

It's not everybody....

Answer 7

id love to be an america, i always wanted that,but they wont let me into the country cause i have a long crimanal secord from when i was younger, it ended in 1977, just normal stuff like assult, robbery, whatever, ive got the american flag here in my home and outside of my home, i wont even put up my own country flag, canada, i went to desert storm to fight for the american people and there country, and they still wont let me, they say i use to be a bad person, thats what i try to tell them, i use to be, and i was never a bad person, a troubl maker yes, it really sucks, i could offer so much to america, as a person,an extra fighter, extra income by opening my own company, resturant, would give employment to about 8 extra people who need a job, but ill still love and do anything for the americans.

Answer 8

This is a very good question. I have often wonder why bother if you don't want to adapt to our customs.

It boggles my mind that some people think by making English in the United States the official language is racist. Why?

I'm not saying give up your customs/culture, just remember you are in the United States now, not Mexico or Iraq!

Answer 9

In a way, I can understand this. They want to come here for the job opportunities, education, etc. and yet they are loyal to the country of their birth. Most are sending home money to support family members that are in dire straits. Try to be more sympathetic, it's not easy for anyone these days.

Answer 10

That's easy. Because they know they can come here, make all the money they want, be who they want to be, do what they want to do and they are protected under AMERICAN laws and still hate American's and the American way of life. This is something that most of them cannot do in there country's.
