(22,191 posts)Taiwan, Korea, other eastern European countries, etc. It's wonderful, and I will tell you, that their eagerness and puppy love for this country has no boundaries and a sight to behold. Besides being former refugees, and/or going to the numerous schools here in St. Louis MO, they have moved into some areas of St. Louis MO (the city) and have remodeled and fixed up substantial parts of St. Louis City (Cherokee row, Grand (Vietnamese, Asians), Gravois (Bosnian community etc.). It's amazing to drive down the streets of these neighborhoods and see how clean they are. They are a big part of why the City of St. Louis MO has held up in big parts of the city. You'll see this too in other cities too, such as Chicago, etc.
This is why it kills me when I hear about so much hatred of immigrants on the news...I'll bet that these folks who pile on hate have probably never met an immigrant, let alone deal w/ one. These are people just like you or I, just wanting the same thing you or I want, a better life, a better home, etc.
