In this block alone we've got a Korean family running the coffee bar downstairs, a Greek family running the pizza place beside them, an Iranian family running 2 souvenir shops beside them, a Veitnamese family running the silk shop beside them, another Iranian family running the gift shop beside them, and a Japanese guy running the other coffee bar ot the end of the block.
Don't make me go down the list of the OTHER side of the street...lol
People who know Canada, and know Vancouver in particular, know it's a HUGE melting pot of cultures, and the point is, the US is not the only country in the world that offers great opportunities to foreigners who wouldn't have the same opportunities to be wealthy, safe, healthy and as happy in their own country.
It just sounds like you need to try and get out and see what other countries and cities have to offer to the less fortunate cultures of the world in terms of an alternative to the situation they're in now... I'm not saying the US doesn't do it's share, I'm saying that there are lots of other countries that offer the same opportunities as you all down there...
