I have lived overseas also and I have observed (and experienced) that in general, my experience as a foreigner in europe was not met with open arms and opportunity as what I have observed in this country with foreigners trying to make it.

I really believe that, on the average, this country and society accepts foreigners more thoughfully and the opportunities are present for success.
Never easy but the potential is present.

anecdote: the guy who started SAP software had to go abroad and get famous before returning to the homeland's acceptance.
This equation seems common in europe.
