And you'd do well there for it. Unlike Americans, other countries' people are not saddled by some compulsion to be loved or feel guilty. We like to call ourselves compassionate or generous, but it's really a gross sense of narcisissm, longing for love and bewilderment at how the rest of the world doesn't see things the way we do. Mexicans come here with a sense of entitlement because they are rewarded for it. They have no shortage of apologists, defenders and even lobbyists who will do whatever it takes to make them appear and remain victims. That only exists in America.
