Why do Americans think foreigners only immigrate to their country?

Question

And that all of them are from the third world?

I went to Australia and saw that many Germans ILLEGALLY immigrate there to find jobs. American media won't tell you that. They won't even tell you that people immigrate to all sorts of countries, even within the so-called third world. Every foreigner is not looking to get into the US, that's a huge lie. Even so, the opportunities aren't that great, and the people are flat-out unbearable.

Given my recent experience with constitutional violations...we don't even have freedom anymore, especially of speech.

To komodo, don't be a freakin' idiot.

People could say you'd have to be a drug dealer to live in America, and that's not true.

Don't assume EVERYONE in another country is poor as hell, that's some horseshit if I ever heard it. Rebel soldier and peasant...my god...get over yourself...

There are bankers, doctors, investment professionals...basically any career that America has over there in SE Asia...

I don't know what to say.

Answer 1

That's because American's don't tend to know (or want to know) about any place that's not the USA! USA! USA!.

Answer 2

The reason why Americans don't hear about that stuff is because most Americans simply don't care. There are a large number of Middle Eastern people moving to Europe, but you don't hear about that often either, unless they're doing something to warrant news, such as the riot in France a few months ago.

And yes, many do come to America because it offers them a chance at a better life than in their home country. America in its current form was pretty much because of so many immigrants moving here (although how they pretty much stole the land from the Native Americans is a dark spot in US history, one that isn't fun to talk about). I know for a fact that I am able to do much more here in America than I could ever do in SE Asia, where I'd probably be some rebel soldier, or some peasant struggling on a farm to get by.

Answer 3

I agree with you.
Americans are so convinced that the rest of the world is dying to move there, when in reality, more people relocate to places in Europe, the UK and Australia than the US.

People are treated better in the other countries.

Americans only know what they are fed by their american media... which is run by the same mega corporations that also run THE WHITE HOUSE.

I am American and would pretty much do anything to be able to move to Australia or Canada or England to get away from this facist counrty, but... a lot of these countries have a cut-off age and unforunately I am just past that age so cannot qualify.

We are at the verge of WW3 and the American Government is 100% the cause of it.

God help us all.

Answer 4

Why would you assume that Americans think everyone wants to come to their country? The American media won't tell you that information because it is common sense that not every person in the world is trying to immigrate to the United States. We all know that the term immigration does not apply to the United States alone. And why would the American media tell us about German immigrants in Australia or any other country? American media reports on issues that concern America, and illegal immigration is currently a topic of discussion in the government (IMO there are more important things to worry about at the moment) so that's what we are going to hear about.

Answer 5

Immigrants seek work throughout the world, not just the U.S. I don't recall anyone ever stating that foreigners ONLY immigrate to the U.S. and nowhere else.

You sound very angry and I'm not sure why.

The U.S. is facing a huge illegal immigration problem. While there may be some illegal immigration occurring in other countries, the numbers are nowhere close to the millions of illegals that have crossed the border between Mexico and the U.S.

The U.S. has provided well for these new immigrants even though they are here illegally. Their children are schooled and the families are provided with free medical care. There are many other benefits bestowed upon them as well such as subsidized housing. The Spanish language is now being recognized and considered to be a second language in many states bordering the Mexican/US border.

I don't know of any other country that is as generous to illegals as the U.S. is to theirs. After all, they are here illegally so why should they be entitled to any benefits at all?

So, what is your problem with regard to free speech?

Answer 6

it is not worry-free, no. this is costly and time-ingesting, yet so can immigration to different worldwide places. there is not any longer separate immigration coverage for various worldwide places (or races!). The coverage is the comparable for anybody - despite if some worldwide places do have an much less complicated time of it than others. 2 of the biggest reasons for this are the quantity of purposes generated in anybody u . s . and likewise the reality that some worldwide places have a plenty larger prevalence of immigration fraud. so a techniques as concentrated visitor's visas bypass, the U. S. has a reciprocal visa waiver software attainable for many countries, meaning you are able to bypass the utility technique and stay for as much as 3 months. Longer keeps to be, worldwide places that isn't be in a position of apply the VWP, or people who do no longer qualify require a B visa. between the biggest reason those visas are became down is that the applicant did no longer grant sufficient evidence that he/she is going to return to their residing house u . s . as quickly as their stay in the U. S. is over.

Answer 7

Americans are really only concerned about illegal immigrants in their (our) country...
It is not really commonly known that there is a large problem of illegal immigration in other countries and Americans would not think about anyone wanting to go to those other countries because they are more concerned for their own...
It is not reported in the newspapers because that is not something they would like to print...it would sell few papers here to say that this is a big problem in Australia as well, unless they can tie that somehow to a local issue.
The newspapers report on things that would be relative to things locally...

Answer 8

I've been to Australia too, a couple of times. But I'm wondering... why should "America" report everything going on in other countries? You say you don't have freedom of speech! Yet, here you are enjoying it. Over and over and over, ripping this country. Try doing that in China, Saudi Arabia, or Iran, or N. Korea. You would be long gone.

Answer 9

I am aware of immigration in other countries. But I am no more concered with that than I am the driving laws in other countries. It's not news. Not every foreigner is trying, but more than our social services can fund are. I can't comment on the opportunities, I don't know what skill sets or education you brought with you. I do,however, know many successful immigrants who would disagree.

Answer 11

It is of great benefit to the powers that be that we americans believe that everyone in the world benefits from us and that they all want to come here and take our jobs and our wealth. If we are all so outraged at the rest of the world then we will approve of every dirty action and alliance that our leadership is involved in. We have become arogant and afraid.
