Sure, and I wasn't saying that either.
I was just saying it cannot be solved without both parties. It needs both the immigrants' and their new homes' efforts as well.

The object of life is not merely to exist, if such were the case, why bother with getting an education at all? The object of life is to grow, to improve, and to succeed. This is not about semantics, but about reality. Life is a classroom, and the things we learn allow us to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Success is a necessity to life, and is not unique to human beings; even animals are driven by the need to succeed. To succeed in hunting, to succeed in breeding, to succeed in self-defense. Anyone who argues that success is not an essential part of all life simply cannot be taken seriously.

When have I said anything about education or improvement or growth to you?
Surely we agree about the necessities of life(if not in their importance), and now you're saying exactly what I am.
Success is a necessity to life -
and not the goal of life...
Here's necessity by definition: something needed for a desired result. So success is a tool after all and you also know it. (:
Well, if you just want to disagree with me I'm fine with that, but than you should at least agree with yourself...
Your other points... well I don't feel like addressing them, it's not even necessary anymore...^^^
