Topic: Moving to America (Read 553 times)

It is not only about the quality of the workplaces and education which is available there. You should also keep in mind the minimum wage there in the United States is significantly higher when compared to the rest of the continent. Actually, there are only a handful of countries in the world which have higher salaries to those we can find in the United States.
That is why so many people are willing to move there, either legally or illegaly.
Lately, people from Venezuela have been the lastest nationals who have chosen to move there in significant numbers. Minimum wage in Venezuela is about 30$-40$ per month, for those who work within the public sector, while in USA one could get a job with a pay rate at 10$/hour. That is the main factor which drives people to move there and send money back to their family members in Venezuela.

On the racial struggle of people there: it has been well documented and studied. Fortunately, it would seem it is not longer as tolerated nowadays to be blatantly racist as in the past.

Continuing further onto New York, which is a totally distinctive kind of state. New York City is the US's intellectual and commercial centre, with internationally recognized institutions such as the Whitney Museum of Art, the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and the theatre on Broadway. The state is also quite varied, with an extensive number of immigrants from throughout the world. And, like California, New York has everything for everyone, from the rush and excitement of Manhattan to the peaceful majesty of the Hudson's Valley. And fresh York is where all of these different backgrounds join together in order to produce something fresh and distinct.

Many people want to go to America because it has improved education, employment and all other jobs. The quality of life for all is greatly improved with improved workplaces. The number of unemployed people is very less. But racism is the biggest problem here. The history of racism and violence against blacks in America is very old. Blacks have been discriminated against since the birth of the country.

The interesting part about those incidents is how those messed up things usually won't deter people from moving illegally to the United States. People who are against the continuing movement of immigrants to the country sometimes forget those people are usually desperate enough to risk their lives in a travel full of dangers: deserts, jungle, criminals and cartels members who could kidnap them and hold them for ransom. It has happened before.
Though, it is a completely different situation if OP and people like him are considering to move there legally and traveling by plane.

The United States of America has always been a racist country, racism will probably never disappear from their society, but it has lately been addressed and it is not so blatant and widespread as It used to be in prior decades.

Wherever you move, go to a blue state or a purple swing state. Less hate crimes and crazies and all that.

If you're going there to work a-la H1B then Texas is also an option.

I'd steer clear from the northwestern quadrant of the country though (*cough* Utah). And Oklahoma

Try not to move to a rural area.

New York and California are pretty expensive states to live in. Not sure why they're being thrown around here so much.

So true about New York and California but also included with Florida and Texas. They're all best suitable and recommending for foreigners to live in. They're diversificational states dominated with the populations of diverses of cultures and also therein varies of opportunities and wherein might be best comfortable for you Op. Only that I don't know about the essential features you care about.

And it's kind of messed up how the media's highlighting crimes during the campaign especially when it comes to black and brown folks who are undocumented. I get that crimes are an issue but it's creating this vibe where legal immigrants might get targeted for no good reason. Like that guy in New York youre saying who got tackled for supposedly being a shoplifter and illegal immigrant, turns out he was a citizen. Just something to think about before making the move to the USA

About the topic of moving to the United States, I would like to point out that in this campaign period several news and media have focused on highlighting the crimes and bad deeds of both black people and brown people who happen to be within the country as undocumented immigrants/illegal aliens. Obviously, those crimes are a problem and unacceptable, but keeping the immigration topic aside, that thing of attention media is giving to people of that color may be an issue in case someone of such characteristics decided to move to the USA legally, there are more chances of them being targeted for no reason.

For example, not long ago a group of vigilantes tackled and submitted a man in New York, accusing him or being a shoplifter and illegal immigrant, when in fact he was an American citizen.
That is the kind of environment this presidential campaign and certain channels like Fox have created against people of color.

So keep it in mind, before moving If you still want to.

Racism might be a problem in America if you don't choice perfect place to live. Although you will find such people everywhere but Might be good for live where people are pretty open minded and they used to keep themselves busy on all the in time in work but you might find compitation there cause most of people would like to live there and that's why living cost becoming expensive including job difficulty. Things always looks good from a distance but you'll discovera lots of things, once to go to deep

Although I am not American, I have searched for certain destinations for education and living, so I just wanted to weigh in on this topic. I think California and New York are perfect places to live. The quality of life is also good, but they are very expensive. I have listened to a doctor's interview who was living in New York and said that she was getting over $4k a month and by the end of the month, her savings were only $100 - $200. If you live on the outskirts of these cities, you might be able to save some money. 

He is clearly stating that he does not want to feel mistreated for reason of race, sex, belief, so the answer is... nowhere. There is not such as state in the US in which prejudice does not exist.

However, you should be a bit better of in the North than in the South and the "fly-over" states of the Bible Belt and if you are not a skilled professional, the rust belt may be more welcoming for getting a job.

Honestly speaking, you seem to be a good guy but I don't understand why you have so much hate toward western countries. My relative works in FAANG, in California and life seems to be amazing for him. Living life in America has two sides, one side you already mentioned but it depends on the person too, there are people who choose the one that you posted and there are people who fight and achieve their dreams. America is really the best place to achieve your dreams because in Europe you are in stuck, the more you work, the higher the tax you have to pay. I have never ever used health insurance, unemployment insurance and I'm still paying 40% tax. Isn't America a better place for me? I might move there.

You ignore many things. People in developed countries experience severe depression compared to people in developing countries and I'll explain why does that happen. Generation Z has not worked because their mothers and father sacrifice themselves to provide a good future for their own children. We also have to keep in mind that Instagram (ideal body) and other social medias, also the high expectations and competition makes them feel depressed while people in developing countries tend to be one of the happiest ones because they think differently, their life is different. In modern European or American city, you have to constantly be in competition, you have to always the best version of yourself. Many people fail to do that, also many people haven't experienced any difficulties in life and a slight one already makes them depressed. I can talk about it endlessly but it's not like you say. Sexual attacks and other traumatic experiences happen here because governments allow immigrants to live here.

In my opinion, there is a lot of people inside the United States and also outside of the United States which downplay the advantages of living in rural areas of countries which are considered to be part of the first world. It is an overall calmer environment, one does not have to lost ones time in traffic, the air is cleaner and properties are way cheaper than within the big cities in California and in New York. Though, there are also some disadvantages: it is less likely to find jobs in those rural settlements and one may not have access to services and goods which are more common to find in the big city.
Though, I personally like the idea of having a nice nice in the outside of the big cities anyways, even if takes longer to find a job, the price of the property is worth it enough.

Also, would you care to share what country are you from? I would have guessed most of the countries in Asia were good enough for their people not to collectibly desire to move to the United States or Canada.

I'm from asia and lots of people from asia, want to move canada, USA because of better life. Better income and good environments. People in my countries, often discuss about USA. I heard that, if you want to live peaceful, better income, safety, lack of racism then California might be the one you can shift. Then new work also good but living in these big cities, you need to maintain high standard of living which is very costly. And its also difficult to get jobs. But rural areas might be good option for cutting extra expenses

Maybe Georgia?

Omg, you have got to be kidding me. Do you mean that people poop right in broad daylight where everyone can see them? In that photo it seems there’s like a restaurant in the background, how would they eat? How does the person keep their face when they poop?

American had been a nice place to go and spend the holidays having the maximum fun. People going to America for job would have to be prepared and get things necessary especially educated themselves on how to leave a safe lifestyle there.
As the world country, there is need for tourists to learn somethings about the country so that things would never look strange when they get there. We need to get the necessary information that would keep us safe there.

All depends on what your going there for as your purpose because I think if it's for job America can't give easily like that it's 50 by 50 chance, area like Australia, newzeland Sadi Arabia also Canada can be more better. If only for jamboree nothing bad racism is everywhere in as much human mind is hidden to his fellow all one need is to becareful in any environment you found yourself.

Not what it used to be. This is why the Governor is already fighting back against the National government and not allowing immigrants to cross anymore.

I would assume OP is not crossing so yup you could still stay in Cali. The timing however is not so good however. Wherever he is from I'm sure there is a community of his countrymen living in US. It's worth joining a community where you know you belong.

The homelessness problem in California is not as new as some news and people want others to believe it to be, honestly. It had become a meme back in the mid 2010's, how California seemed to have a very high rate of people defecating in public. It is a direct consequence of homelessness, this homelessness being at the same time a consequence of the increasing use of drugs and the increasing money one needs to afford a home in the United States, specially in overpopulated cities like San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Some people may tell you that in the defense of California, that their public defecting problem is isolated and what truly matters is their successful economy and industry. While people who do not like California will tell you only bad stuff about that State and the fact it is one of the most liberal places to live in the United States. Conservatives do not like it.

I was thinking califonia is a place of lot opportunity that people will find life very easy, I'm just surprise. That means inflation and hardship is hitting every corners in the world. Since this hardship is everywhere no need looking for where to run to where life is easy. It seems no place where life is easy the way people think. The best thing is for one to remain where they are work hard, than traveling some where else to start life all over which is very tough.
