What questions would you ask an immigrant?

Answer 1

Is it better here than it was in your own country? What made you decide to come?

Answer 2

Are we talking recent immigrant or someone in the US for a long period of time? If recent, I would find out if he or she speaks English and ask the normal question anyone would ask another person when meeting them... What is your name? How old are you? Where are you from? What do you do for a living?, etc. If they don't speak English, I would find out what language they speak and, if I know it, I would ask them the same questions.

If we are talking about someone who has been in the US for a long time, I would still ask them the same questions... it's not like "immigrant" is some kind of thing other than a human being.

Answer 3

i could ask them: a million. Why they desperate to immigrate to this us of a 2. approximately their immigration journey 3. How the reality of being right here compares to what they envisioned 4. Their perspectives on the immigration device and on unlawful immigrants 5. Their thoughts approximately transforming into/staying a criminal resident vs. transforming into a US citizen

Answer 4

I don't know what the point of your question was, but if it was to stir up all the crazy racists out there (can't tell if you are one)... ta-dahhh!! you did it! I'm assuming most of the negative responses are coming from people in the US, and you may be American too. What I would want to ask Americans is... why are you so friggen' ignorant?? don't you realize that your country was founded by IMMIGRANTS? that the concept your government is based on (a Republic), dates back to Roman times? that your fight for Independence was inspired by the French Revolution? A lot of you out there are incredibly narrow-minded, and ignorant about the world outside the boundaries of the USA. You don't know other cultures, and therefore you don't respect them, and you attach negative concepts to them, to make yourselves feel superior. What is worse is that you're too lazy to even inform yourselves about your own country and its situation. For example... ILLEGAL immigrants, using fake social security numbers, are PAYING TAXES! they get the fake cards so they can get hired, but that still means they have taxes deducted from their pay!! not that this helps them be less discriminated or insulted by the large majority of the population, but do you know that this amounts to large quantities of income for your government?? inform yourselves before you go around acting superior to the world. It's a big world out there... it's time to get out of the farm, and start looking around... the rest of the world has, but it seems a lot of people in the US prefer to grab their guns and defend their plot of land, instead of venturing out... i think they're scared they might learn something!

Answer 5

Same questions I would ask someone else.
What did you do today?
Where did you go yesterday?
What did you eat?
They are normal people. Smart people. More intelligent than Americans, so I would ask more questions to an immigrant. I would learn more from them than from an American.
By they way, are you talking about hispanics? Asians? I think you are talking about hispanics. Am I right?

Answer 6

The same questions when Christoper Columbus found America & when your ancesters invaded america killing the red indians.

Please do not ask this type of quessions in the future.

When you point a finger to some one please note that there are 4 fingers aiming at you!

It is high time that you study the History of America.

Answer 7

A legal immigrant? I'd want to know about where they came from and how it was different.

An illegal immigrant I would probably be too pissed at for helping to ruin my children's schools to want to discuss anything with them at all, to be honest.

Answer 8

I think I would try to ask a few things, such as these:

Please think, and so answer as sincerely as you can - what are your genuine dreams in your life; and do you think you might make your dreams come true here, somewhere in this country;

what do you think you really can give to this country, to the people you will meet here, in exchange for sharing with them a potentiality of a brighter survival in this country in which you are new;

do you want to give yourself - your individual life - to this country as if you wanted to work here for most of your remaining life so you could be seen as a precious gift;

is it for your own individual life to become solidary with the new people that you will meet here that you want to be here

or do you have the idea that you would want to kind of bluntly colonize this new world of yours by not only taking your own luggage with your own personal things and precious dreams with you here, but also of eventually struggling to impose your own old traditions, blood, language and habits on this new world of yours thereby fiercely trying to make secondary in your own life the life of those souls who already were here when you came in?

Answer 9

If the American people find it offensive when the Mexicans cross the border, how do the Mexican people feel when Americans cross the border?

Answer 10

Where did you come from?
What is your name?
How do you feel being an immigrant?
How did you came here?
Are you going to rob me?
