The immigrants to the U.S don't really have any hope to improve their homeland's system as the system is rotted from the inside out - it's not just the politicians, it's the police, the judicial system...this means there is no infrastructure w/ which to work. The immigrants in the U.S who DO work hard would most likely work just as hard back in their homeland if there were opportunities. This situation has perpetuated itself over the years to create a region of economically depressed people w/ skills but little education to actively change this situation.
My family immigrated here LEGALLY in the 50's for job opportunities b/c Europe was in such a state of devestation - but Europe went on to become strong again b/c there was a proper infrastructure and more educated people...my family started small businesses in Germany which became quite successful. In corrupt countries it's far harder to start a successful business (in addition to the fact that there are less people with money to spend on things like going out for dinner or installing swimming pools).
Hope this helped.Why is everyone trying to change america instead of trying to improve the country they came here from?Thank you for asking this question.. I applaud you .. and i agree..Why is everyone trying to change america instead of trying to improve the country they came here from?First of all, when this country was founded - it was to escape the oppression of their %26quot;home%26quot; country.
These people come from countries that take everything from you, force you to kill your infant daughter because they want you to have a son, do not allow you ANY individuality whatsoever - be it religion, freedom to speak your mind and especially sexuality.
Except for Native Americans, we are ALL immigrants. Only the Native Americans have the right to protest. It was THEIR land that was stolen from them. THEY were the ones forced onto reservations, (a nice way of our government to say concentration camp), and the resulting poverty that ensued.
To finally answer your question - because THEY CAN'T change or improve the country they came from.
Incidentally, my forebears were immigrants escaping the tyranny of dictatorship in Chile at the time. I am lucky to have been born in this country and be one of it's many diverse citizens.Why is everyone trying to change america instead of trying to improve the country they came here from?I am not improving the country where I was born because I do not know enough about it to change it. I am 22 years old and have been in the US 18 years. I live in the US with my family, I do not care if Mexico changes or not.Why is everyone trying to change america instead of trying to improve the country they came here from?Some people, Damun for example, are so ignorant, it amazes me they are able to make it through every day life without wandering into traffic, or something equally stupid. I am Native American by virtue of the fact that I was born here. The American Indians LOST this land to European settlers, so they should be happy they didn't get completely wiped out. Same with the Mexican-American war, they lost the land fair and square. If someone wants to take this land, they are welcome to try, and if successful, it will be theirs.....Why is everyone trying to change america instead of trying to improve the country they came here from?This is because America is a democratic capitalism. This syetem is designed to be changed by its people. It is designed to be moved by the mass to reach the equilibrium that benefit the most people. This makes America great for Americans, as well as all foreigners. It is because America's society and economy can change which make America still great, but we r seeing a trend towards protectionism due to increased importance of global trades. This is a worrying trend for America.Why is everyone trying to change america instead of trying to improve the country they came here from?The thing that is different between the mexicans and the immigrants from long ago is that the mexicans are wider spread and are coming at a time when America has basically created its steady culture. They wave their Mexican flag and to me it is like spitting in my face. If you love that so much, go back where it came from.
