Dear JOJOJO:

I really don't think anyone was trying to pick a fight on whether every single person in the whole world would wish to come to the USA. I'm sure Australia, Canada and Europe are also choice countries that these men prefer. It also seems really strange to get yourself all worked up over the comment when the main reason for this site is to help others. USA is a melting pot of immigrants...always has been. It's not the same in any other country. People from all over the world have always tried to find ways to come here. Those are the facts. It's not meant to be written to strike agains Australians or any other country. It wouldn't be called the land of the free if it didn't have such a stigma. Of course we know everything is not free but I have to agree, for someone born and raised here, one can live in comfort very easily. The people I met in Egypt always called this land, the land of opportunity. When the man I knew came here, he called the land liike a baby. It was fresh and clean and there was so much. When I was in Egypt, it was extremely dirty and crowded. We all know it's a struggle to migrate anywhere and no one usually strikes it rich over night. Although, with that said, I love living here, I live in a beautiful home,I have a beautiful life and I haven't ever suffered financially. I love to visit other places but as you feel Australia is your home, the USA is mine.
