Famous immigrants who make America great (msn.com)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve listed many people on this blog with immigrant and global connections – such as former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson having been born in the U.S. and previously having dual US\/UK citizenship. Many members of Congress and numerous CEOs and executives are immigrants to the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems an essential attribute to have international experience to be quoted in the news. Of course, it’s just correlation. But it is a big correlation – those that are leaders or experts worthy of quotes, are international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in the U.S. we are faced with a doomer media that that proclaims America is awful and if you’d move to another country, you’ll find everything is wonderful – it leads us to negatively view our own country and culture. For hundreds of examples of that media perspective start here: Part 1: The myth that Americans can just move abroad for a better life \u2013 Coldstreams Travel and Global Thinking<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flip side is Americans may now view (legal) immigrants as “better”, more worldly, more global, more elite, just plain better than us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. intends to import labor to make up for the low birth rate -and as we do this, we will increasingly hire the best from other countries<\/em> and compare them to the average American<\/em> – warping our view that foreign immigrants are better than Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2023, 2\/3ds of U.S. population growth came from immigration (about half is legal, and half illegal); by 2040, 100% of U.S. population growth will come from immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans, long labeled as “dumb” when it comes to global issues will be viewed negatively even by other Americans – for not being sufficiently international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with dual citizenship, right of descent ancestry immigration privileges, or citizenship by marriage (a method available mostly to young American women, based on the analysis I did of 250 “I moved abroad” stories in the media) – will have significant advantages in the future work force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those without global experience, and those who are ineligible for immigration privileges will be viewed negatively. The latter is kind of weird – literally, those with the longest family ties to the U.S. (hence, no immigration privilege) will be seen as the least desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a two class society – those who are global and those who are not (and often cannot be).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Having global skills, or being an immigrant, or having multiple citizenships – is becoming class distinction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,25,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-background","category-globally-experienced","category-immigration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3665\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coldstreams.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
