It's called FREEDOM. Freedom to persue your dreams. To become the best person you can be. Alot countries leaders don't want their people to have freedom because they believe if their peoples gain knowledge they will no longer be in power and they are right. So they keep their people down. So people come here to escape oppression. Do you know who how many Middle Eastern people our here because they don't agree with the leaders of there countries? Thousand maybe millions. I know a guy from Iran who came here because he was thrown in jail for wanting to go to school. Is mother had to bribe the guards to get him out. He walked for days until he got to Turkey. Then made it over here. He now is here he loves the freedom this counrty has to offer. country. But he still loves his counrty and he wants his counrty to have the same freedom. So much so he learned english and now is working in the our miltary because he wants to free his people from the leaders that are in his mind keeping his people down. This is a true story.

I will start by saying that until you leave your comfortable home and town and state and actually travel and witness what the rest of the World has to offer, you will never, truly understand why people will risk their lives to come here for a piece of the American Dream. Suggest studying the American Revolution and the development, crafting of our Constitution as foundations for a better understanding of our American Way of Life.

Because of the American Dream.
Which becomes close to impossible to realize today, as opportunities in other countries improve, but a lot of people are not aware of it...

Is it because American people are so welcoming and non-racist, or maybe it's because it's such a safe place to live, gee I don't know!!!

Lots of countries have nothing and we have everything. Why would they not be drawn here?
