Hey /int/, thought I would make an immigrant thread. All immigrants are invited. Non-immigrants are welcome to post.
I myself am an Israeli immigrant to the United States. Moved here when I was 9. Lived here ever since. Now I'm a university student.

>>52159098
hi. im one.
ommigration should slow down t.b.h.
>he's jewish
>>52159098
do you want more open immigration, or do you value the moat now that you're on this side?
Brit immigrant to US here. Not a citizen yet, but will be next year.
>>52159661
What brought you over here? How do you like America?
>>52159612
as a fellow immigrant I aggree
>>52159691
Freedom, burgers, and $$$
>>52159612
>>52159704
I think there should be unlimited immigration for people with an iq > 130. It's illegal to make government policies based on iq, so America should say, oh, if you have a phd or ms or make a lot of money or do this job or that job, you can come in right away.
>>52159659
^^ what i said
>>52159661
grats. how long you been here for?

I want to move to Scotland, is it too expensive? I google about the best paid jobs and apparently its tourist guide, is it possible to work by myself or do I need a license or something?
>>52159902
Studying engineering, was lucky enough to get into a good US school after service
Probably going to go back when I graduate
>>52159988
wew ok, you're not some 9 year old singapore fag
>>52159988
Wew. I'll probably go that route too, but I want to stay there after uni.
>>52160070
Good luck getting a job
Have you done your NS yet? One thing that is nice kinda is since you're a 21 year old freshman with all the 18 year old American freshmen you can get alcohol no problem so you can make friends easily
>>52160098
what university do you go to?
>>52160098
Nope. I'm still in JC.
>Good luck getting a job
Yeah, I can see why that might be a problem.
>>52160123
UCLA
>>52160128
It's kind of difficult to get a company that's willing to sponsor you, but not impossible. Some of the current politicians want to make it so international students have an easier path to US citizenship (if they are coming to study at our schools, why not have them benefit our economy is the argument).
>>52160170
I'm in one of the ""elite"" JCs so I should be able to get into a good uni. All I can do after that is hope, though.
>>52160170
kool i go to uw
Taiwanese immigrant here, currently doing an econ PhD in New York. I barely speak the language anymore so I can't go home permanently.
>>52159792
4 years so far
I'm American from Ithaca and moved to Finland 7 years ago for love. I renounced my US citizenship in 2013 after getting my Finnish passport. Fuck paying double taxes.
>>52160389
That tax shit is so gay dude, aren't we the only country on earth that does it?
I hate when people say like "well we had a 90% tax rate in the 50s and it worked!", it's not the fucking 50s anymore, the US passport doesn't mean nearly what it meant back then and we didn't have the internet letting you work from wherever
>>52160283
4 years, and you're already getting citizenship? did you come here with a greencard or something?
>>52160389
what happens if you refuse to pay american taxes while living in finnland?
>>52159098
Why would Jews leave Jewland to come to America?
Immigrant from Ukraine
Came here when I was 5
>>52159959
Open a Mexican restaurant, you will make millions of dollars because the food in Scotland is terrible.
>>52160389
>>52160446
but isnt there a way to avoid paying double taxes? like if you prove you paid taxes in finland or something?
>>52160389
What do you think about Finland?
>>52159098
How are you all finding the US so far?
'
>>52160389
Why did you do this?
>>52160496
I might, but I need the cash first
crushing on an iranian immigrant desu
>>52160389
Did you go to Cornell?
>>52160499
Nope, any income earned anywhere on Earth is considered equivalent to income made in the US so you owe double tax on it
The US government makes no distinction on income made in the US and income made abroad if you are a citizen
>>52159959
Scotland is the best country of the UK :)
>>52160551
You don't have to pay double tax. If you would owe $10,000 to the US but paid $6,000 to your resident country, you only need to pay $4,000 to the US.
>>52160475
the main reason for my family was that the security situation wasn't very good, with the 2nd intifada and 2nd lebanon war and leftists in power
>>52160492
privyet kukuruznik
>>52160499
nope
>>52160513
good, I've assimilated very well into the us. I consider myself 100% american, which is extremely rare among people who migrated at my age. most at this point would say 80% american, 20% original, and an original part always stays, but I consider myself 100% american. feels really good desu
>>52160451
>what happens if you refuse to pay american taxes while living in finnland?
Jail when you return
>>52160511
Not as glamorous and sexy as when I first arrived. Then again, neither am I.
>>52160513
Finnish gf became wife. You only get one chance at a 10/10 educated woman in life.
>>52160540
No, MIT.
>>52160596
Then my dad is a liar
Son of Lebanese Immigrants here. Family luckily came here during the Reagan administration. Family was apart of the ultra right wing Kataeb army. I'm glad my family didn't have to seek refuge during the Onigger administration, he's not very fond of Christians.
>>52160596
So that's $4,000 you wouldn't have to pay if you renounced your US citizenship.
>>52160616
fuck, MIT? Well done
>>52160389
Holy fuck you lucky cunt
>>52160654
sorry for ehud barak t.bh
>>52160672
lol mit is nothing
>>52160654
Man fuck Onigger. If there is anyone Europe and North America needs to being in is the Christians who are getting slaughtered more than anyone.
>>52160612
How old are you? I am glad you want to stay here and support the country. We need more ambitious, bold people these days.
>>52160616
America is as glamorous and sexy as you want it to be. Try Las Vegas for a weekend.
>>52160693
No problem senpai. I'm sorry we couldn't have been allies. Muslims ruin everything. Bachir saw a way to preserve both of our cultures and identities in an alliance, but Bachir died, and so did Danny.
>>52160711
I agree senpai, but he'd rather take in the filth of this world. He'll pay for his crimes one day, and so will the gulf states.
>>52160693

Vegas is like the most trashy and unsexy city in America. Like if syphilis were a city
>>52160737
yeah, lebanon could've been saved. it's a real shame. I don't see anything good for lebanon down the future.
>>52160729
17 haha. I entered university early.
>>52160772
getting my bachelors next year, so yeah i can say mit is nothing, thanks
>>52160693
shut the fuck up you piece of shit kike, I'd rather have a thousand muslims living in my house than a single jew in my country. Burn in hell.
>>52160800
post your id
>>52160729
>grown man sucking off a filthy little Jewish rat
>>52160800
i call bullshit
>>52160800
Didn't you say you go to UW earlier
>>52160822
>>52160848
>>52160858
ok yeah, uw has multiple early entrance programs, im in one of them. you'll find out about them if you search for them.
>>52160810
its liek you want shariah law
>>52160869
UW? Nvm I believe you - what makes you say MIT is nothing?
I was early entrance at UCLA
>>52160869
"University of Wisconsin" graduate talking shit about MIT
Yeah fuck off friendo, enjoy your ban for being an underage faggot
>>52160869
were you in davidson?
>>52160888
UCLA doesn't have early admission
>>52160888
it's a joke haha, mit is good. getting into mit is good. but, personally, I think it's better to go to a state school, get in your ap credits, and graduate multiple years early, say at 20.
MIT is good, it's not a joke, im sorry
>>52160912
no, but i know the fag who was. hahaha
>>52160931
Yeah I just applied and went at 16
>>52160939
hm, i might know you, or not. I'd say 15% chance I know you.
>>52160939
What major? What dorm are you in? I live in Dykstra
>>52160938
ayyy never thought i'd meet another person who knew about that program
>>52160961
hmmm
>>52160962

>>52160995
Oh cool, I'm EE
>>52161015
Drew?
>>52160972
only because that guy (zeb) went there. do you know him? haha
>>52160995
I mean, I probably don't know you. oh well.. I know a chick, jessica su. went to caltech full ride at 16, now doing a phd at stanford. she also didn't do any early entrance program, she just applied. I don't know you probably. oh well
>>52161031
Nope
>>52161036
Afraid not it seems
Cool to meet another young guy in uni though

yep. what are you majoring in? im doing math because it's super easy here, and i just wanna gtfo
>>52161057
>>52161093
or wait, are you the guy at ucla or the guy from davidson? haha
>>52161116
both lmao
>>52161119
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh haha nice
the zeb guy from davidson isn't very smart, so from that I got that davidson isn't TOO selective haha. am i wrong?
>>52161153
It's pretty selective but is basically based only on young age IQ rather than accomplishments so there are a lot of dumbasses in the program by the time they're all teens. It's selective but not really in a meaningful way if that makes any sense
>>52159098
>>52159246
>>52159473
>>52161197
oh wow I just looked at this, the iq is more selective than i thought http://www.davidsonacademy.unr.edu/Articles.aspx?ArticleID=144
I thought it would take like iq 115 haha. honestly that guy was NOT smart, and he's a HUGE fag. so yeah this is quite surprising to me
the only official recent test I've done was the act, I got 35. at least i have that lmao. davidson academy really is more selective than i thought though. maybe he just got in on accident? I have a hard time believing his iq > 145
>>52161301
He might be savant in one area and therefore thinks he's smart in everything else. I know a few decent verbal types who thought they knew politics and turned into the worst kind of badly informed liberals and libertarians possible.
Alternately he probably just got really fucking dumb because he was held back in school. It happens
>>52161614
nope! he's not savant in anything. you could describe him as above average in iq, and little more. he's just an average high school kid desu in terms of intelligence (but extra faggy). he's terrible in every way. whatever, fuck him, I'll move on
unfortunately, people in the early entrance programs at uw aren't generally very smart, or interesting. also people at uw tend to be not very smart or interesting. oh it's a tough life... I miss my public high school a lot. but, at least i'm getting valuable life experiences at uw
>>52161727
I know every one of those feelings :(
Look on the bright side though, you'll be graduating early and getting a huge lead on the job market.
Good night, it was nice to chat with you
>>52162015
yep graduating at 18 is pretty nice haha.
good night! it was nice talking with you. sometimes (very rare, but on occasion) I post here as an israeli american, that's how you know to find me ;p;
