America

Someone posed a hypothetical question asking if all immigration policies around the world allowed for free, open and unlimited immigrants where would they emigrate from and where would they immigrate to. Most agree that the United States would get more than their fair share of immigrants and probably have very few who would leave. Why is that. Is the United State a great place to live. Are its citizens free to speak their minds. Is it because the United States is the most diverse country. Is it the land of opportunity as they say. Can someone rise by using their talents along with hard work. There are millions of examples of Horatio Alger stories so many in fact that numerous books have told their stories. People around the world know about America and many see it as Reagan said, a shining city upon the hill. It is interesting that many who live here do not see America that way.
