A message to my fellow legal immigrants: stop complaining and start accepting American culture

By Cindra Crisman

Being a new immigrant myself, it is irking to witness other new immigrants- complaining about living in America. Seriously, with such unhappiness, why not just pack up and leave?

Learning from the History of America the early immigrants had their own obstacles to overcome and managed to idealize their own beliefs into the American way of living and their success inspired others to follow suits. However, the new Immigrants argued because the European origins of the early immigrants had no cultural barriers on the American landscape, which simplified their assimilation. These “complainers” whine because European culture has become standard for America these new immigrant late arrivals complain of being placed at a disadvantage. This is nonsense.

European culture isn’t the only cultural value in America. Hardworking, family lives and religion beliefs always have a place. Europe is not the only place that cultivates determination and discipline to succeed. These are principals fundamentally esteemed by every one from every race in every place and are responsible for creating America. The immigration from every region of the world into America has integrated multiple cultures into our lives and created the American Culture. The new Immigrants should value our American Culture as their own, for discrediting it only further eroding their own self esteems.

In retrospect, judging from the creation of the early American society, the Europeans opened up the American frontier to welcome everyone, believing it as the destiny of the New World. They eagerly fancied a new society with a dream of its own; indeed, the American Dream, a unique and genuine new nation to contribute the world. However, the new immigrants misunderstand the American Dream and misapplying their newly status to demand Americans to tolerate and lower the standards on them, hence consent to redefining the American Dream. This is nonsense.

Living the American Dream is what enriched and strengthened this country and sadly for too many new Immigrants changing America is their dream. No wonder their unhappiness has no boundary for mistaking the American Dream they misfortune their opportunities. Well, in that case, it is sensible to leave America; seriously.
