Question To Immigrants About Your Country Of Origin?

Question

I am mexican-american. I often go back to my country of origin to visit my loved ones. I would rather live in my country of origin of Mexico if our economy were as good as Canada or USA or at least 3/4 as good.

Question to other immigrants? Lets dream but without offending. If your country of origin had an economy like the USA or a decent economy would you rather live in your country of origin or in the USA??

I would rather live in my country of origin Mexico. Its my dream. Please do not offend. I am asking a curious question

Answer 1

home is home

Answer 2

My country of Origin is America but I am Greek Irish. I was born and raised in Florida. I am now living in Canada so I am a immigrant of Canada and I am still Greek Irish if anyone asks me. I will never say I am American-Canadian so why when people move to the US do they say they are African-American, Mexican-American, Asian-American, Whatever country you are from American... I just dont get it...

Not to offend anyone from my country of Origin.. I am very happy living in Canada and I would rather live there than the US especially now that Bush is in office I think the US is becoming more and more unstable...

Answer 3

My family came to the United States many generations ago and after reading the book the European Dream I am thinking about going back. The EU is ascending in quality of life and the US is descending except for a few very wealthy families.
It is likely that the same inequitable distribution of wealth will exist in the US as it does in Mexico in the next 20 years but right now my rights to be free from religion are being trampled in the US; elections are bought by the oligarchy that owns the media; politicians lie, cheat, steal with impunity and with the support of evangelical churches. I could go on and on with personal concerns but the book on the EU cited above gives a clear picture of good reasons to consider immigrating home.

Answer 4

The word Immigrate means to move permanently!

I was born in India... I came to the US when I was 3... but went back for a few years (10 years there) for schooling. Heck, I know more about India than ppl who have lived there all their lives.

You couldn't pay me enough to move back... why? Because the US is my new homeland. I have "IMMIGRATED" to the US, not be a temp guest or fair-weather immigrant. The Pilgrims, Quakers, etc. who moved here, came here for good... not sailing back and forth when a war came about or the King/Queen in England died!

My kids don't even speak any Indian languages... why should they? They live in the US and aren't going back. If they learn a new language, it will be something like Spanish or something that will help their life in the US.

Once you grow roots somewhere or transplant yourself, you stay put! If not for your sake, then for your kids' sake... there is no reason to put them thru the hardships of moving between countries that you had to endure.

BTW, everything is not money...it is freedom! As the Declaration of Independence says: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I have traveled more (I am 38 yrs old) than most will in a lifetime.. I have been to over 54 countries. USA is the best country in the world! I am not biased... I am basing this on my observations. Yes, the US may not be the best in everything... but once you average everything out... this is the greatest country in the world!

Answer 5

i myself am not an immigrant, but i know many people who are from mexico and wish they could survive there. the economy in mexico is so bad, if only it were better i think most people would want to stay there. they need to more evenly distribute their wealth, but i see that with the latest political dispute about the presidential election that it isn't likely to happen. the protesters who are trying to change the way the country is run are being called traitors....and americans say mexicans never try to change their own country, they just come here. well they are trying to change things....i hope it works. then you could live where you want :)

Answer 6

I currently stay in New Zealand. But my home country is Namibia. It is a beautiful country with a lot of very nice people. It is in Africa (Angelina Jolie recently had her baby there) I was born in Keetmanshoop. I would love to stay there if the economy was better and the government was not corrupt. I can definitely understand your dream... Nice question for a change.

Answer 7

I realize this question is not for me because I am Texas born,I like having the best of both worlds personally,
but I wouldn't mind living in Mexico if my family could make a living there,even though we are from here...

Answer 8

Immigrants ought to continually help their motherland. If an Indian/Pakistani is residing as an immigrant in Australia, then he's not an Australian because he has to pay funds for his stay interior the country. Its like someone staying in a inn. yet when an Indian/Pakistani has earned citizenship of that united states, then he ought to continually help that united states. for instance Monty Panesar ought to continually help England and his loyalty ought to continually be with England.

Answer 9

why can't the more successful mexican americans that desire to go back home try to revive the economy... but you can't because it is corrupt and is designed to keep the poor very poor.. many do not attend schools and the catholic religion forces many women to continue have many children that they can not afford...... i worked on the border for 7 months..... i am from trinidad and i live 6 months here and 6 months there.. the economy is not bad for the educated

Answer 10

Good for you, tell it like it is, and while you are at it, why don't you talk about the pollution the Large American Corporations are sprading throughout other countries in the name of progerss while they pay the workers only about 1/10th of the wage they pay American workers to do the same job?

Answer 11

my husband is from Mexico and he would love to live there if it where even 3/4 as well a place as the us he agrees.
