    I'm sitting in a classroom looking at American-born students. Some of them will use this country to its fullest potential and others will continue making excuses for themselves not just expecting the dream to be given to them but demand that it comes to them at the labor or others who grind each day. One day they will post on social media or protest in the street how destitute they are and the politician will be there to scoop them up promising the dream, keep them socially and emotionally stagnant, and never giving them anything but platitudes and empty phrases.

      I used to be the "America Sucks Man!" student and constantly whined about how horrible America was and how I wish I lived in another developed nation. Over time, I've come appreciate America despite its flaws. My mom escaped communist China while my father's family came to America as plantation workers, and I appreciate the freedom I have living here.

      @@markusringgaardlorensen2015 This video is about immigrant success, go to any european country and talk to the immigrants instead of citing a an absolutely flawed article. Immigrants in scandinavia and in other parts of europe lead absolutely miserable lives, they're constantly discriminated, they forced themselves to have low standards, no ambition. I have seen talented immigrants getting ignored and instead doing dead end low paying jobs and ended up wasting their lives and regretted moving to europe. America, even with all her faults is still a way better path to prosperity than anywhere in europe, second only to canada

    I live in the west. In Utah and Idaho they celebrate something called “pioneer day”. It’s to give thanks and never forget the pioneers that settled those areas and mostly the ancestors of those who made those states flourish. I never met someone who didn’t have a pioneer ancestor. I am Peruvian, so I know I didn’t. But I realized I am MY families Pioneer in this country. My wives great great great grandfather came to america from Whales and was one of the participants of the Oklahoma land rush and subsequently the gold rush. They were very poor and slowly endured. I think of myself as my families Pioneer because I don’t have family here, except my wife, and I have slowly build a life for myself with hard work and perseverance. In contrast to my birth land, which I do miss, this is my HOMEland. I gained my citizenship, graduated from a top university with honors And I currently hope to gain admission to medical school and continue my American dream. The land of opportunity. Don’t give up. It’s hard, but worth it. You can do it. We can all do it here. May god bless America.

    America has flaws, and many of them--but they are bearable compared to the level of freedom and respect that many Americans show to each other. Many Americans greet almost everyone, they ask you how you feel and how you are doing, they understand it's okay to get help, and most of all, they live by "mind your own business."

    When the colonists left Europe to come to America, they were leaving behind a caste system that limited a person's progress, their ability to rise up the social ladder, simply because of the accident of their birth. In many European countries, all land was ultimately owned by the king, who gave barons land in return for military service. The barons allowed serf and peasants to farm their land, but never own it. The peasant class, the agrarian class (serfs), the merchant class, the priestly class, the Aristocracy and the Royalty were fixed by the one's birth. (well...not really the priests) Laws were enacted to make it extremely difficult and rare for anyone to move upward out of their social class into another class. Marrying outside of your class was a definite no-no!
    If you weren't born into the Aristocracy, or the Nobility, or whatever, you would never be able to move up.
    America was different. "Come to America and pursue your dream." In America, people weren't limited by the circumstances of their birth. In America, people could move up the social ladder by sweat and hard work. In America, people enjoyed the fruit of their labor. In America, people weren't taxed to death in order to keep them poor.
    In America, ANYONE could become President. There were no classes, there was no Nobility or Aristocracy. Everyone was equal, and could pursue their version of the American Dream as they saw fit. Want to own your own home? You can do it through hard work. Want to go to college and get educated? You can do it through hard work. Want to own your own company or business or farm. You can!
    What is the American Dream? In America, there are no limits placed on you other than those you place on yourself. If you are a go getter, you can go get it! If your a hard worker, you can earn it! If you have a dream, you can make it come true. This is the true American Dream. People have the freedom to be successful. however they define "success", through their own efforts.
    If you're a slacker, you have no one to blame but yourself.
    Here is the motto of the American Dream: "I came from nothing, and worked my way up. Look at me now!"

But God don’t appreciate the person that don’t appreciate the ones who worked so hard and through civilization made it possible for you to be in front of that camera. FBA’S we did it. Our ancestors or once upon a time through suffrage made this place a civilized place, later on others help out with easy tasks and some tasks not so easy, but they got paid for their work we didn’t, so people so eager to get in front of the camera and sound so fake, I know I said you sounded great, because you put the ups and downs in your destiny for focusing on what you started.

      LOL it is soooo easy to make a ton of money here, you just don't know how to go about it. All you need to do in America is: Learn a profitable skill (IT, HVAC, Carpentry, etc), get a job using that skill, save a little bit of money, perfect that skill, then start a business with that skill. That's all you need. You don't even need a bachelors degree for IT, etc.., all I did was go to a community college for information network technology, went from making $9.00 before college to $160,000 after college (two years). It's all about how motivated you are, for instance, I did hundreds of interviews before I landed my first job in networking, I had to relocate but it was well worth it. So you guys have to think like that, never give up, keep improving after every failure, keep shooting for the stars and I guarantee that you will become successful. Also, what the fuck are you talking about the medical bills lol that's no where near true.

Canada is going way too far left, they are getting rid of freedom of speech over there. You guys think you have freedom of speech but you truly don't.
      Also, don't fall into the trap that Canadians are nice (they might be when talking to you but behind your back....), I have multiple Canadian friends, and they all say the same. Also if you play online video games, you'll notice that Canadian's are some of the most racist people.

    People are very misinformed about making money in the US. 70% of the country is living paycheck to paycheck. Americans only know how to work, not live. You see, well I've been very concerned about starving, so I work more than 40 hours a week because rent now exceeds 70% of my income. If an American wants to immigrant out of the country, then they have to pay taxes on their international income. It's more or less slavery. They're ain't no dream to be haved, unless people live off the grid. You got people making 25k a year living in a shoe box apartment & claiming to be greatful... Migrants treat this country as some Godsend when in reality all of the hard-working American's are paying taxes, so that they can come over here & inflate the economy for the rich lobbyist
