“After this I go to work at a pizza shop. My wife and I were college professors in Bangladesh. I taught accounting. But one dollar in America becomes eighty dollars when we send it back home.”
People forget, when immigrants come to this country they start from scratch. They could have been lawyers in their home country, but in the US..it means nothing. You think a HS diploma from Bangladesh means anything in this country? My mom was a top student in the country, went to all the best school and got the best of everything…but when she got here it meant squat and she was cleaning other people’s homes and scrubbing their toilets. This is why I get pissed of when people talk smack about immigrants. They at least are doing something…..heading for a goal..making sacrifices…what are you doing with your life?
^ My parents were college-educated teachers in their home country and came to the U.S. with nothing but empty pockets, a dash of hope, and a belief in God. They also scrubbed toilets in people’s homes to make enough to provide for their children, and that’s probably not something a lot of educated professionals would be able to do. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. Pride would get in the way.
THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT.
THIS IS SO FUCKED UP! AND THIS IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT! PEOPLE SHOULD BE TAKE THIS MORE SERIOUSLY. I REALLY HATE WHEN SOME TWATS MAKE FUN OF IMMIGRANTS, WHEREVER THEY ARE.
Immigration is a key part of America. That’s how America started. That’s how it should continue to be. All of those immigrants are fighting to provide for their families, back home, or here in america with them. So please, unless they’re doing something that directly harms another human being, let immigrants do their own thing.
