Immigrant Work Ethic & Anxiety: A Love Story
This narrative that immigrants are lazy or a drain on society is so blind it’s borderline delusional. Especially because as Americans many of us believe we’re owed a good life. If I know anything about immigrants they sacrifice a good life to start from the bottom because of the promise of the American Dream! I remember reading a post in Humans of New York that said: “it’s agreed upon first generation immigrants that they are going to sacrifice their dreams so that their children can live the best life.”
