So I hear you want to migrate to America?
Firstly you need to know that America is referred to as a "nation of immigrants" because of our large open-door policy and our acceptance of anybody who wants to follow their vision of the American Dream. Also, immigrants are what help America to become America. It is the place for people who love their lives and freedom, regardless of where you come from.

There are however, a few questions you need to ask yourself firs! Are you ready to embrace freedom; ready to accept and bestow equality regardless of your shape, color and religion? Are you ready to contribute to a government that gives back to its people? If you answered yes tany of the above then I would like to welcome you to America!
I also am an immigrant and I asked myself the same questions ten years ago. I came here with my wife and daughter because I wanted to provide them with a safe lifestyle and give them the things I couldn’t in my home-country. We came here with enough money to just get by and with a little hard work and determination, we are now proud to call America, home.
Over the years you will learn that this country is right for those who value a fair and just law. It is right for those who put in an effort to get to know the names of their neighbors and for those who offer a helping hand in times of need. Anybody who’s lived a day on this earth can testify that there will always be times of need.
You will experience in America a prosperity that will motivate you for the future. You will also find that the system here supports a growing population. If you have the dream, America is the country that allows you to transfer it into reality; into ideas for the future, into thoughts of art and science.
Yes there are days where you will miss the familiarity of the village where you grew up; the fresh air and clear skies, the sun rising over the mountains every morning. And yes you may miss having all of you family live within a 6-mile radius; you might also miss the simple things like having the local store owner know you first, middle and last name; eating fresh fruits right off the trees that lined your house; always having someone to talk to.
But as an immigrant here you will welcome waking up to a neat street with lovely neighbors who always greet you on you’re to work. You will wake up to squirrels running across your front yard and a cardinal chirping its morning alarm instead of a rooster; all are wonderful things however at the end of the day, they’re different. And that’s one thing you need to prepare yourself for when you move here, you need to prepare for change.
The point I am trying to make is that with every decision there will always be positives and negatives; doubts and revelry, regrets even? However if we let fear of change dictate our decisions then we probably won’t have the strength to walk out of our front door. I might miss a lot of the things that shaped the younger years of my life back in Lebanon, but I couldn’t live without the things that have shaped my present life here in America today.
The soil here is rich and God has given America the gift of the rainy seasons which in turn has reaped fine harvests and green plains. Here you can climb ladders, whether socially, politically or economically; you can achieve what you set out to achieve.
America reflects your personality, whatever you want to be you can be; it offers stability whether it’s financial, educational or medical, the option is always there. America prides itself on first world sanitation services, the ability to purchase a house on a realistic income, the comfort of knowing your children attend a school where their education is a priority and daily luxuries. A person in America can satisfy their curiosity for knowledge and gain the awareness needed to establish and initiate their mission in life. The system here is organized in a way that allows people to provide a service for each other; in turn everybody is satisfying the next.
By coming to America you will discover individuals from all nations who blend into a new culture. America is a wonderful place to live; it’s my little piece of heaven, it’s my home. I am proud to be an American and I anticipate you also will be saying those words when you come here.
