This topic reminds me of sexism in some ways. Remember when women were limited to certain jobs? Women were underpaid or not paid at all? Women had no health benefits? Men believed that women were better off at home doing housework? I believe these two can relate together because it all comes down to – whatever men can do, women can do the same thing (except in a different way) and the quality of the finished product can be just as good … if not, better. Well, in this case – there is a chance immigrants are able to do the same thing we can, except in a different way. The quality can be just as good, if not … better.

My response as to why some people may get a negative feeling or stereotype towards immigrants is because people may think that they are not trustworthy or they are not capable of getting the job done. In general, it can be one of many things. Of course, if you’re a foreigner – the chances are, you were taught to things differently (similar to how every country/religion has their own rules they need to follow or live by). Just because they are raised differently does not give them the right automatically judge them without giving them a chance. Think about it. What if the way they were taught to do something was faster than the way you learned? That would save time and effort … even money.

When I found out that only 2.4% (3%) of the people in the United States are multi-cultural, I thought there was a mistake. Throughout these years, I’ve noticed that there are a lot of international students coming to the United States to attend high school/obtain their college degree. I’ve also learned in the past that the United States is one of the best countries to live in … for many reasons. A few are them are: increase in technology, development in security for the protection of citizens’, etc. Of course, we all know that the economy isn’t the best right now; however, every country has their downfalls at some point. In my opinion, I don’t think that the country’s struggle should stop you from believing that the United States is one of the best countries to live in.
