Those kind of comments that the other person remarked I feel demonstrate the incredulous amount of ignorance that still inhabits our world today. Immigrants have built the United States to what it is today and they come to the United States not to be "criminals" but rather to follow the American Dream that they can build a better life. I feel it is unfair to make generalizations and judge an entire group of people based on societal stereotypes. The growing economic class gap continues to grow, and the immigration of new people who seek a better future and life can help close it.<br /><br />I also would like to point out that many groups culturally live near or with each other. It is not necessarily the groups refusal to accept their new society. <br /><br />I am not for a "free lunch" but I am for providing opportunities to those who work hard and seek a better future.<br /><br />Those are my two cents, I thought I'd just respond about this because this is a hot button issue in my major. I hope you're having an awesome time in Japan Laurel! I'll be in Hiroshima in July! Hope to see you then! <br /><br />KendallKendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313536482657339185noreply@blogger.com
