The things we take for granted as Americans are often things that people in other countries would risk their lives for. The luxuries that we often take for granted as Americans are not just privileges but a testament to the value of the American experience. It's disheartening to witness some Americans perceive the United States with the same level of despair as someone considering ending their own life due to struggles and letdowns. To truly grasp the full extent of what America has to offer, individuals should have the experience of living outside the country, not as tourists with abundant financial resources, but as someone striving to make a living under different governmental systems. This firsthand encounter helps individuals comprehend why so many people, despite the multitude of risks involved, endeavor to immigrate to America rather than the other way around.
