Why do immigrants want the American Dream?
Why do immigrants want the American Dream? In these places the American Dream, as defined by the residents, is working. They can get a job, without a college degree, that gives them enough stability to buy a home, raise a family, and then retire to watch their kids do even better.
Is the American Dream an utopia?
