[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's like let's blame them for not taking personal responsibility on one hand, and then on the other hand, let's cripple their chances of making it.[/quote] No, the chances are out there. Immigrants are taking those opportunities. You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. AA are sabotaging themselves all the time. [/quote] No, immigrants often come with a set of skills or support that helps them succeed, whether it's a good education or family who will help them get on their feet. There's this huge myth that immigrants are in the exact same position as poor AA's and they suddenly prosper. No, they're not. It's what cold-hearted and delusional well-off people tell themselves so they don't have to acknowledge the actual barriers that keep people from being able to escape poverty. This thread is sad.[/quote]
