Are you sick of the Brits coming to the US?

Question

I live here in Florida and they are coming here in droves because of the exchange rate, that and their country has more Pakistinians than Pakistan itself, then they get over here and tell us what is wrong with the US, how British Special forces are better than US troops, Football(soccer) is superior to our American Football, how our immigration system screws them over etc. etc. Anybody else feel like telling them to G.T.F.O?

I have lots of British freinds over here, I guess I should have clarified my question, are you sick of the really obnoxious Brits?

Answer 1

To sicilyuk, maybe it will be a lot easier to just accept the facts that the British that come here with the "Holier-than-thou" attitude towards us are because they are that way. When I was a manager for a Hilton Hotel, in Florida, I remember some British tourists checking in. When I asked for their ID (Common policy), they were shocked as if I asked if they stole something from the gift shop. He told me they didn't have that non-sense in England and then I listened to him patiently for the next 5 minutes he was telling me how everything was better overthere than here. After he was done, I explained to him that this isn't England, this is the United States and we DO require ID when checking in. He had no choice but to do it. So don't excuse their behavior because of us "interfering with other governments" and all that other bullcrap you mentioned because you Brits pretty much have that similar record of doing that in India, Egypt, Kenya and many others, so watch out for those falling splinters if you're going to throw stones from inside your house of glass. And if Bush knocked on Blair's door for Iraq, who was it that knocked on Roosevelt's door when you had that little thing going on over there called WWII?. Let me think now....Oh, that's right!, Winston Churchill!.

Answer 2

could be a sluggish information week. i don't watch television in any respect and hardly hear to the information on the radio. i admire analyzing approximately it online. I each and every so often study stuff or see stuff from the BBC and the CBC and God knows the place else. the U. S. is a ingredient of the international, and a marginally massive area of the international at that. Your Gordon Brown seems approximately as properly-called Bush is right here. in case you had greater advantageous than 4 television channels over there I anticipate this does not be a topic.

Answer 3

You may have a point, we don't get many Brits in Texas so I really wouldn't know. On the other side of the coin, have you ever seen the way Americans act when they're in Europe? I have and I can honestly say there were times when I would shut my mouth and slip out the door hoping no one would associate me with the group that would be there. Boorish behavior goes both ways.

Answer 4

I lived with a Brit for four years, a very intelligent, well educated man. He was a robot engineer, and had numerous inventions under his belt. He told me just how difficult it was for him to immigrate, even though he had a Masters degree from a prestigious English University. I think that any new Brits are a great boon to our country. Close the door to Mexico, and open it to Great Britain.

Answer 5

If they are tourists, the more the better. It's only more money for the economy. If they are moving, that's good too, because I personally like British people better than a lot of other immigrants who speak their filthy pig languages in public. Also, it's okay if they need to make themselves feel better about their shortcomings. Everyone knows that, if soccer was popular in America, we'd be the best at it JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE). But it's not popular, because we have a MANLY sport- footbal. Instead of sissy soccer.

Answer 6

NO, I'm not, I think that the Brits are a good thing to the USA. They are our friends and they have proof that in the battle field. Right now they are having problems, because the Muslims are taking over their country and they are coming here to regroup and then return back home and take over. Good luck

Answer 7

No but I would like you to G.F.O. Also get your bloody facts right! Maybe if you stopped pointing the fingers at other countries, stopped interfering with other peoples governments,the world might be a little bit better for it. As for the immigration bloody right it sucks! I also live in Florida and thank god for tourism, the revenue it brings is immense and not just from the British people either. As far as us telling you what's wrong with the US who was it that knocked on Tony Blair's door when they needed us to back the decision to go to Iraq??? let me think now, oh yeah BUSH. such a clever little chappie!
I happen to like the US I have lived all over the worlsd and there is good and bad in all countries, just a shame you had to make spiteful remarks at a time like this, and frankly we do play a better game of footblall!

Answer 8

Is this just in Florida? I like the Brits and I can't see that they are coming in "droves" because they assimilate very well.

You can ask are the British tired of Americans coming in droves to their country.

Are you jealous or something?

Answer 9

I personally wish we had more Brits (at least they speak English). I just laugh it off when they talk about how they are "superior" to Americans in general, they´re just trying to get a rise out of you anyway.

Answer 10

Some are really annoying maybe, but its pointless to answer jerks by being a jerk yourself. As long as they are tourists, and/or well-funded, they're welcome, as far as I'm concerned. Come, spend money, then go home with great memories. Just so they don't insist on doing EVERYTHING the way they did back home (like drive on the wrong side of the street for instance). At least UK immigrants to the US don't insist we speak a different language just for their benefit.
