It depends on a lot of factors and I dont thing you can really generalise.

I used to be a missionary in India, and I can tell you I understand where you are coming from.  Just remember that people are the sum of their experience.  All you can do is stay firm to your own beliefs and ideals, while respecting OTHER'S views as well.  If you do that, you'll find that most people worth having a relationship with will respect you back.

The only two elected jobs(federal) that you cannot hold if you are not a "born" citizen are president and vice president.  You could be born overseas and still be a US citizen like say if your mom was a US citizen but you were born while she was on vacation in Canada.  I think if you're born and a US embassy you're also a "born" citizen.

"Native" Americans (Indians) are everywhere. They don't all live on reservations. They mix and mingle with other 'native' Americans. They aren't all poor either. So get off the pity train. My family is of Native American descent and we don't consider ourselves 'poor'. We have average to above average incomes, own our own homes and have college degrees (we have attorneys,doctors and business owners in our immediate family). Open your eyes, we're everwhere.\n\nIf you are talking about Americans who are 'native', meaning born here, not immigrants. We are everywhere, too. Are you blind?

It's like that with everything.  The government helps people from other countries more than they do here. I knew people who were having the hardest time getting social security, while immigrants were taking out handouts, when they never put a dime into it.\nThen there's the affirmative action, which helps people from other countries, and gives them extra credit, when most the time they are unqualified.\n\nThe assumption is that if you are born here, you have opportunity, which is true at all; because a lot of people just can't find their opportunity, and they just get shoved aside when it is needed.

In America we have free enterprise and a class-less society. In other words, anyone can make money and be rich and be accepted here. We have no special laws for the rich and different set for the poor. Thats the American Dream. In China, Iran,Russia, and the French Revolution, they have a class society. In other words, if you were born poor, you will probably remain that way because the oppurtunities are not there for you to advance your status in life.

Social and cultural differences.  In third world countires there is a larger sense of community ovver the way people in the US react.  In the US there is a "crab mentality" and the cliche of "keeping up with the Jones's".\n\nPeople in poor nations tend to stick closer together and be more dependendt on each other so when a disasters strieks you can see it.  In New Orleans the US lifestyle of independence comes out.

The falling of many Middle Class People to being below the Poverty level, without changing anything in their lives has always amazed me.  Of course the amount of people in your family has to do with the level of the Poverty being set.  Think about the fact that many people are actually living the same life as they always have, same job, same home, same family and have fallen under the poverty level and not known about it. I think that would be an interesting place to start.  I believe that we think of poverty as having nothing and the government sets levels that makes many who live decent lives fall under poverty levels.  By this it is like the calling of Beverly Hills as an economically disadvantaged city because of the lack of jobs per capita in that city.  Well it is that way because the land is mainly used for individual residences and that is the way they want it, yet under government guidelines it falls into that category.  What I am saying is that you need to start with placing an actual definition of poverty and then look at the people who don't fit the category and then question why?

Where you hold them defines your social status...the higher up you hold them(towards the top),means you're from a well brought up family.\nIt seems also the higher up you hold them the easier it is to pick things up.

Homeless people.\n\nThe United States is suppose to be so rich right? Then why cant we afford to get these people a place to live food in their stomaches, children a place to learn good things not how to be poor and run around dirty because their parents couldnt afford them.

ohhh, how judgemental is everyone here?...think i'll keep my own comments to myself before i start shooting off my mouth and sounding ignorant...as for u all, maybe u should ask a poor, under priviliged minority who just lost all of his home, money, job, several family members, and all of his material possesions why he / she is having trouble starting completely over from nothing after being unwillingly relocated to places where they are viewed w/ predjudice and the limited opportunities that are there are that much harder to take advantage of....But then again, how often in history have those who are more fortunate been able to relate to the plights of those who don't enjoy the same benefits as they do?

Do a lot of research on the job markets and the social conditions in the countries you want to work in. Many countries (sad to say the US is one of them) have areas that do not welcome people form other parts of the world. You want to find a place that has a job waiting for you but that also has other places that you might be able to get a job if their is a problem with the first one. When you get the job you should keep your expenses down until you have enough put aside to carry you over if you have to go through a period of looking for a new job. I am sure that your work will be good but people can lose their jobs through no fault of their own. The company might downsize or go under or something like that. A city that has an existing population of people from your country would be good to look for that way you could get good information about the living conditions. I wish you good luck. I am sorry that I had to say what I did about the US but it is true. However, you can move in next to me and have a friend. We are not all bad.

I'm OK with it. Why shouldn't they have a shot at the American way of life just like my grandparents and great grandparents did? I think the whole argument of there's not enough room, etc. is just an excuse.

You are educated, you are already granted employment status, you work, don't cheat the system, you pay correct tax, you abide by the host's law, you are peaceful, you don't join the queue for food stamps, you should not have much of a problem.  \n\nYes, not much of a problem in the US or anywhere in the world.\n\nJust shine for your background and any smart country should want someone who do all the right thing.
