B.S.!

Why exactly is this B.S.?

Yes, please tell, why exactly is this B.S.? I know people who gave up their green card voluntarily (gasp!!). I know others who have a green card, have lived here for over 10 years and do not wish to naturalize.

It could still be worse. There was a girl that went to school with my DH. When she returned home to Japan, where she was born and raised, they wouldn't let her in. Her entire family was there and she had they had all been born there. The reason she wasn't allowed back in was because she had Korean Ancestry.

wow. I knew Koreans and Japanese don't like each other but never thought they would do something like that.

what some Americans have to learn is that patriotism is a common feeling in every nationality. We all love the countries where we come from more than others.
America is the greatest for you, Americans. Others come here not because you're great or because they love you. They just come here because you allow them and you give them what they want. Totally NSA relationhip. No feelings involved at all OK?
The country where one comes from will still be the best for them. GOT IT?

The Japanese are not very well liked by other Asians.
