14. Your ancestors came and competed with previous Americans

Pakistanis are not taking over and oppressing us with gas stations. They are like previous immigrants, including your ancestors, who take the bottom level jobs.

The educated immigrant is a newer phenomenon, but they achieve and their actions help create jobs for the rest of us. Hell, it's better than jobs going to India directly.

Smart people coming here is a good thing. Einstein and others like him came here. Why here? Because it's a great place. And they add their talents, rather than keeping them for their home country.
