If a male commited a felony when he was younger, but after serving time for the crime, he tried to turn his life around, do you think it is easier for a male to get back on track, to get a job, provide for his family, live in a nice neighbourhood, in Jamaica, or in the States?

So his parents came to America as immigrants. Ok so we have a lot in common, I thought. We are immigrants. But then he said he doesn’t like immigrants because they are the ones taking away the jobs from Americans ( he calls himself American because he was born in America), making it harder for him to get a job and using up the resources. 😲Not good, I thought. I don’t like where this conversation is heading.
