Immigrants vs Settlers

[Ayatollahgondola]

found this on a craigslist post and thought it was interesting:

There is a difference


between "settlers" and "immigrants".

Settlers - form their own segregated community, they are not interested in learning the language or the cultural attributes of the nation they occupy. They have come to settle - to take over a territory.

Immigrants - give their allegience to the nation they have moved to. They become integrated into the society of their future. They have come to contribute to the whole.


Think about it.

[Rim05]

I wish all our new inhabitants thought that way. These days they come with malice in their hearts from even before they get here.
