Is the U.S. the Best Country In the World?

Many people don’t like the lifestyle from their native country so they decide to immigrate to a foreign country in which they believe they will have a better life. That’s why many people immigrate to the United States because they believe that it is better than their native country. In fact, many people believe that the United States is the best country in the world. If you were to choose in which country to live in which would you pick, your native country or the United States? In my opinion I believe that the Unites States is a marvelous country although, I don’t quite believe that it is superior to many other countries.
            Many people decide to move to the United States because people speak so highly of it so they come to America with a high expectation and demand certain treatments. Immigrants come from their native countries in order to obtain a decent job, so that they will be able to sustain their family. Most of the immigrants that arrive in the United States find themselves with a great barrier, which is the language that they speak and of course legal documentation. For those that come to America aspiring a job won’t find it or at least find a decent paying job because they don’t speak English.  Other’s that may be able to understand some English may not be able to find or obtain a good job because they are not legal immigrants. Since, the good paying jobs require for you to have legal documentation the immigrants won’t be able to obtain these jobs.
            Once, the immigrants are here they may find life here harder because of the fact that the United States is very competitive and that immigrants aren’t given legal documentation until years later if given any at all. Does that seem fair at all? If the United States is so great then shouldn’t they do for what they stand for and represent? That I recall America stands for freedom, liberty and being able to live your dream. With all of these promises shouldn’t they help the immigrants that are seeking for a better life if the United States is so great?
The United States should not brag about how great of a country it is if it is unable to see to necessities of others. Also, the United States goes into other countries because this “great” country seems to get richer by sucking the natural resources from other countries such as Iran, Iraq, Mexico, etc. They are being dictators by going to other countries with no good excuse in order to abuse that native country to simply see out for themselves and nobody else. Being greedy and bossy are definitely no good characteristics for a “great” country to do or have. By being a great country you should help out your neighbors and seek for peace instead of wars.
            That is why when immigrants decide to come to the United States or to any other foreign country they should do their research first and not go by what others say of that country. They should not judge a book by its cover and go blind, because they will find a great surprise their and regret ever spending their life savings to go to a country that did not provide any opportunities for them.
