to respond - that would be my wife's scenario, all except for the debt. As an immigrant, her dad died when she was 10, her mom raised her living in a major city. Her mom barely spoke english and couldnt assist with college applications or any future planning for her kids. What did she and her brothers do? They barely graduated high school, They worked day jobs that paid for college tution and went to school at night, they graduated. Today? She is very succesful and both her brothers own their own businesses which do very well.
I guess you conclude that they were white and the world welcomed them with open arms.....but they're not. they're chinese. There was no man holding them down, no class barriers, no race barriers and all along no family support. They did it themselves. WHat a great country huh?[/QUOTE]

Your wife hit a triple.
You were born on third base.

Immigrants are fearless - that's often left out. They leave everything and everyone behind to start again. Very few people are willing to move within the United States, never mind abroad - to work. So what we get as far as Chinese immigrants, are the most ambitious, bold and fearless people, of nation of 1.3 billion people. Chinese immigrants in other words, are the best people in China: they are very resourceful and see much more opportunity in a America than we do. Plus, for the most part, their culture dictates that they don't borrow from banks - they get financing from relatives.

Goes to show the advantage of being "ambitious, bold, and fearless people" who are willing "to work." Without those characteristics, apparently, in a nanny state one must be "born on third base" or allowed to steal home.
