Hi, Gorjan,

I totally agree with you. I’m an immigrant too, but I can understand the negativity toward us up to a certain extent. As you mentioned, most of us are just looking for a better life by working honestly. Unfortunately, many people believe we just came to take away their jobs or abuse social welfare.

Immigration is a sensitive topic, much more these days. I hope the day arrives when we all see each other as family. We’re all one race: the human race.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Jade,

Yes, immigration is a controversial topic. There are many sides to be taken.

I think public sentiment shifts negatively every time something bad happens. It’s easier to look for a scapegoat than to investigate the causes of a problem.

Thanks for commenting.

I’m grateful that France gave me the chance to work 10 hours per day in these challenging times and provide for my family.

Their system made it possible for me to find a job, and in return, I keep the economy stable by investing myself as a 9-5 worker.

Immigrants are not bad people. They are just everyday workers who are forced to leave their country for various reasons. We don’t mean anything wrong, and we just want to put food on our table.

God bless! <3

This is very, very interesting to read. I live in the United States and have experience working with undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America, but I’m not very familiar with immigration in other parts of the world, so this was especially interesting to me.

I am very much for immigration and for reformation of the system we currently have in place in the US, where an unfortunately large portion of the public’s sentiment sounds similar to that of France’s.
