The Mythical American Dream

Many immigrants seem to have a romanticized view of the United States. Though many eventually do find some success in the US, they often do not realize the hardship that they will have to go through, and the cultural change that could come along with moving to the United States. Considering the alternative, where immigrants know about all the  economic, health, and cultural issues they might experience, do you think they would come to the US in the same proportions? Do you think less people would come to the US, or do you think they would assume the risks are still worth the benefits of living in the US? And if this “romantic myth” about life in the US is false, (which is also a point that can be debated) then what are the factors that perpetuate it?
