Why do people move here (U.S.) from other countries and then expect us to change? Why move here if you don't like it the way it is?

They used to do it for work, now they do it for cheap housing. They can own their own home in Detroit for about $15,000.

Because the politicians have made people believe that.

Dani, this one gets me in the butt. When I went to other countries, I had to stumble around with the language and tried to read up on the culture ahead of time. I was anything but aggressive. I've lived in Texas and Florida and was appalled at what was expected, and what the politicians do to accommodate people that cost a fortune: bilingual books, voting, etc. PLUS expecting people job-hunting to also be bilingual. In Florida, the other culture was very aggressive, cutting in lines and interrupting as they were used to doing in their country. I really wish they would go back home if they don't like it as it is here. +3

Some people who move here do so with unreasonable expectations about what life in the USA may be like, because of things they have read, seen on TV or in the movies, or have heard from others who may or may not have visited the USA. So, when they arrive here with pre-conceived notions about what life in the USA is like, they are frequently disappointed when things don't meet with their expectations, and when some Americans act prejudiced against them, based on whatever reasons the prejudiced person may have in their walnut-sized brains. The newcomers decide that it would be easier (for them) if the USA changes, instead of them adapting to the USA. But eventually, the newcomer gets used to the way we do things in the USA and either "goes with the flow," returns to their native land, or goes to prison (for not "adapting"). +5

That is a typical thing I have heard before.Why chase people away with close mindedness.If the USA is a melting pot of people,as it claims to be,why no welcome change?????This sort of thinking is like something out of the movie "Deliverance" a small backward town attitude of if you are not like us get out.......
