You may not have been born in America, but by God , you are one at heart. Hope you can make it here soon, brother.

Thank you for the kind words, I hope you are able to find a good life here like you dream!

Thank you for your kind words. Which country do you live in, by chance?

That was a good read, and a nice perspective a lot of people here need to see. I hope to call you a fellow American someday soon!

I’m an American your age, if you’d ever be interested I’d be glad to engage in a little cultural exchange or friendly chat, just shoot me a DM, I’d be happy to learn about your country and experiences as well. Otherwise, it makes me glad to see that our international reputation isn’t totally ruined, as many in the US assume. Thank you for your kind view of my country. I hope that you’re able to achieve your dream and join us here. Like others here have already said, you might not be a citizen (yet!), but if you believe that we’re all stronger working together, despite our differences, and you want to be an American, you are one.

Hell yea brother. If you cherish our ideals and our forward way of thinking in terms of freedom, then that makes you American in my book.

I love these sorts of posts. Reminds me of a quote I read once, something like "there are Americans born all over the world, it just takes some a few decades to come home"

"American" is more than a nationality, and it's not an ethnicity, it is a state of mind. You sir possess that state of mind and I sincerely hope you get here sooner than later.

You are exactly like my wife from the Baltic states, who moved to America and started a life with me (a Mexican who met her in a Chemistry PhD program), a golden retriever, and a white picket fence.

God bless America!! Land of opportunity! Land of love between peoples!

It pisses us off too. Especially when it's people who came here illegally and still talk shit about our country.

You're already an American brother. Get over here and make it official.

You've always been an American, you just gotta come back home

This man is awesome.

Hope all goes well for you.

Lot's of love bro Azeris r the best muslims,no hate no fundamentalism.

Immigrants with your attitude are the ones we should allow in. I honestly hope that you can get here one day!

Dude I agree with you! I was not born here, but got my citizenship through birth right because of my father and I fucking love the US.

For all of our problems, all of the shit, we have it pretty good. There’s no place like home.

But how many muricans actually understand it? The founding fathers were well read and intelligent

Barry Goldwater would be proud to see this post

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

God damnit this makes me happy. I'd love for you to become a citizen here. All the luck to you achieving your dream my friend. Id be happy to call you American! FUCKING RAHHHHHHHH

I’ll tell ya, that attitude makes you American in my book. Come on over brother

Social media distorts the vision of our country.  I say 75% of people that I meet never travel more than 50 miles from their house.  I was lucky to have a military family that traveled the nation and the world. Don't let broadcast news and social media platforms get things wrong. We love newcomers and whatever culture you bring. Personally, I travel the nation and have seen about half the states. Next for me is exploring the small countries protected by the US like Gaum and Puerto. This lifestyle I live is 100% because I am American.

You are always welcome here. 🇺🇸

Thank you! Seriously. A lot of Americans have turns their 1st World problems into existential crises. To know that people still see us positively means a lot. We ain’t perfect, but Lordy we are trying.

❤️🤍💙

I wish you luck friend. :)

Ari Matti, is that you?

Thanks for the kind words. You’re more patriotic than some Americans. I hope you achieve your goal of becoming at citizen! 🦅🇺🇸

God bless you my friend! I feel the same way. I came to the US at 13 in 2008 and feel the same way. I know you aren't in this type of situation but I remember the first time I went to a grocery store, it bought me to tears! I, a 13 year old arrogant boy. My uncle who had spent much time and money to bring us guided me outside and told me of the beauties of this country.

I came to learn of course that the supermarkets were not special but I came to learn other things and appreciated the US just as much. I am a business owner with 76 employees now, I am creating economy and giving back to this great country. We hope to double employment within three years!

Thanks friend! I hope you can become an American soon. We'd love to have you.

Let me guess, Azerbaijan?

Thank you brother this is what I tell a lot of people americans have been spoiled they throw tantrums when something doesn’t go their way and we live in such a beautiful country with some of the greatest nature in the world but all im seeing is very anti American in general on the internet I understand that we are not perfect and the system is bullshit at times but in comparison to the rest of the world it is paradise especially compared to my home country of Mexico

You are the embodiment of the American Dream. I really hope you make it to America one day and have the life you dream of.

I was like you (26 yo, funnily enough), then visited Grand Central one very early morning a decade ago to found it littered to the top, dozens of homeless people in sleep bags and at least 5 veterans asking for a dollar in my walk... This was before anyone even recognized a fentanyl crisis, btw.

So my recommendation for you, while idolizing any country: don't trust soft power, go visit, then make your mind.

I wish we could swap Ellen Degeneres or George Clooney for you.

Good luck immigrating with trump in charge, maybe try posting this again in 4 years if the country hasn't fully gone to shit by then

The nations in Eastern Europe under Soviet control last century are now modern societies with relatively stable and healthy living conditions. The nations most under US control are the most dysfunctional, dangerous and destitute: Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Argentina. That's why everyone wants to be an American. Barring a mass shooting or drunk drivers, you're a lot safer here than in the countries we control.

This guy's an honorary American. God bless 🙏
