RE: How Did You Get Here? I Hopped the [Border] Fence! The Harvard Med. Students Laughed -- Said the NEUROSURGEON

Other immigrants may not climb so high up the ladder, but given the chance they will do whatever they can to make a better life for themselves and their families.
I live in a country full of immigrants. I'm surrounded by them, left and right.
They are everywhere, talking in strange accents, wearing different clothes, going to different churches and having different customs.
Some of them work in the same industry as me, competing for the same jobs as me.
Is this a problem?
Not at all!
My country is filled with variety and colour. Our differences make us strong and vibrant. It makes this a great place to live.
And if an immigrant is competing for the same job as me, I have to make sure I'm better than they are, so I'll get the job. Just like I have to be better than the rest of my countrymen to get the job.
Immigrants aren't the problem - discrimination is the problem.

Well said. Just another way for us humans to improve, and not forever lying down in the comfort zone living the easy life without any competition. If you're not good enough, work harder, do better. But well, humans like the easy way out. Discriminate.
