Well, that was not the case for the hundreds of Scot and Irish and German relatives I have in my family. I would like you to provide numbers and links and proof of your claim, because I know I have researched it and my information is as posted.

You know, one of the biggest obstacles for Americans, now and in the past, is the smug but erroneous belief that everyone in the world wants to go there.

You aren't really much different than the British, at heart. You have exactly the same tendencies to piss on, discriminate against and marginalize your immigrants.

It is corrupt from top to bottom. Your own people betrayed you in one of the biggest wealth transfer scams of all time. 

If I were you, I wouldn't go trying to puff up something that is rotten to the core.
