Why do so many people that hate the United States continue to live in the United States?

Question

If it is so great where they came from or so great in other nations, why not live elswhere?

Answer 1

It is a part of human nature.Sometimes you live with the person you dislike.Sometimes you say the opposite of what you desire.

Answer 2

They like the fact that they can openly complain about the US and not be killed or jailed. As much as we hate their complaining, it is a freedom given to them and us by our government. The US however will only take so much. A good example is with the mostly Mexican protests several months back. They ran around the US flying their Mexican flag during the protests and now look the government is cracking down hard on these people all across the country.

Answer 3

because of the fact they are battling for what the U.S. supposedly stands for. you think of they might desire to enable the loopy ones take over? the persons who torture, kill, eat and earnings from animals; stay in an oblivious suburban dream international on the same time as conveniences and not in any respect-ending oil are presented them by using the backs of slave-countries, whose economies we've destroyed; people who will gladly invade any united states of america that has some thing they choose, and then locate a thank you to make the sheep cheer them on? You mean those people could decide for what usa is?

Answer 4

People don't hate the US but they don't understand the policies.You cant support Iraq with arms one day when you feel its good for the USA to attack Iran and then later attack Iraq in an unprovoked war, you cant support the Taliban to fight the USSR and then later attack them, you cant demand China do something about N Korea and sell arms to Taiwan....Comprehend ?? You cant leave radioactive material in the Balkans or agent orange in Vietnam.You cant be a nice person when you refuse to sign the Kyoto Protocol,or ban the use of land mines..see all the kids in Cambodia/Laos without limbs, still dying...understand...its not the US people but the US policy.

Answer 5

Great Q! I chalk it up to the "workplace scenario"...."man, I hate my job." "Job = paycheck, paycheck=taking care of business and finally getting that flat screen tv." The basic fact is that those living in the US, generally enjoy a higher standard of living than others might accross the globe. There is a reason people have swarmed upon rafts to reach its' shores, risking their lives and why uncounted masses cross their border illegally daily to earn a living.

Take one of these "complaining" people back to their homeland and put them to work in a sweatshop where 8 year old girls work 12 hr days for a handfull of rice to feed the family and they'd be saluting the stars and stripes pretty friggin' quickly.

Btw, I'm not American. ;)

Answer 6

A lot who would like to leave don't have the money to do so.
Also, a lot of countries have strict laws. Americans really don't qualify for asylum anywhere, or cannot get sponsored in countries that require a sponsor.

Otherwise, a lot of people would have fled this country the day Bush got in the 2nd time.

Answer 7

Where would they rather live I wonder? I think that they will never be happy no matter where they live. Or perhaps they are just sick and tired of watching our rights to freedom slowly being taken away.
Or maybe they did like america before Georgie Jr. Took over as the "king of the world"

Answer 8

because the dollars are in the United states, people are just being practical for choosing which country are the best for them to live their life for the better.

Answer 9

What's eating you? It's normal for people to winge about where they are, States or whatever. If it has something to do with the States and hating them directly, trust me, those people will leave. If someone truly hates a nation, they will not stay there - take it from me, I've left a couple of them.

Answer 10

First of all disregard wild child's answer, where else in the world can you get your living handed to you monthly while still protesting the government openly.
