Shout out to America. As a legal immigrant who had my oath ceremony just yesterday (8/25) to become a naturalized US citizen (it was wonderful by the way) I have to say the American Dream will only die if Americans kill it.
A little background. I was born in Ireland, raised in England (both Socialist countries underpinned by capitalism or they’d never function), and I’ve travelled extensively in Europe. Because of work I’ve lived in Germany, the Caucasus, Baku, Azerbaijan (brutally oppressed by Communism until 1992, citizens still horribly treated as their government is still largely corrupt) and then lived 10 years in the Middle East under one of the most oppressive regimes in the world.
So for me as an immigrant now able to call myself a US citizen, I’d say to all naturally born Americans, thank your lucky stars you were born where you were born. By a mere accident of birth you have, if you recognize it, an amazing advantage over any one else born outside the US. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Remember, only Americans have the ability to kill their American Dream. Don’t do it.
