Are you sure???

If you're young and enthusiastic and have at least a few basic skills then the USA would welcome you! While America's only a small-ish country and is getting quite full of Mexicans I hear there's still room left in Orlando where Disney and all that is.

I am so amazed. In the UK they moan there is too much immigration and that all the school places (etc etc) are being snatched by immigrants rather than those who have lived there all their lives and paid taxes etc.

They would surely have something to say about it if the borders to the uk were totally opened and ANY enthusiatsic young worker or someone who just fancied it, OR any old scrounger could just turn up and live there. They like border controls in the uk - but just cant understand why the USA would be any different and just let anyone in who fancies it.

There is also common (i believe) understanding that you cant just breeze into Oz, and that you have to fulfill whatever criteria. So why on earth do they think the USA would be any different.

beggars belief!

Ah, but there's a difference... the people who want to come here are **better*** than the Eastern Europeans that Britain is (apparently) bursting at the seams with right now.

Was this split from another discussion or is it just me who doesn't see the connection to... ??

That's pretty funny.

My regular haunt is MBTTUK, but I read a lot of the other forums (esp Spain, which is weird because I have no intention of moving there either). I was making a comment on the complete naivety of 'some' of the thread starters here, and your ability not to chuck a wobbler on a regular basis

I blame Eastenders, where characters breeze off to America all the time.

meauxna

NOW it makes sense.

Of course, some abuse is dished out here on occasion.

That is exactly what it is. They're a different kind of immigrant apparently.

Ah yes I remember Pauline deciding she was going to move there the next day.
