All in all you may have a point though, if you show you have work ethics, if you show that you care about your new country, about the community, you get accepted in US better than in many European countries.

Government restrictions regarding work permits sure don't help either. However, it also have to be said that the values mentioned above are exactly those that many migrants and ethnic minorities absolutely disrespect.



Well I would be very curious to hear how "we Europeans" treat gypsies. Fill me in. Always great to hear the truth from somebody with zero personal experience.
