Is honesty the best policy?: memoirs of a pakistani american immigrant

BY MANZOOR A MEMON(Editor In Chief Is honesty the best policy) In 1980 my wife’s brother in law who helped us immigrate to America told me two things upon my arrival. ?1. Information is the most important thing in this country 2. This is the most honest country as truth always prevails. I knew about the second statement but did not comprehend what he meant about seeking information. Today after living more than 30 years in America I credit him for teaching me the fundamentals of success “Value of Information” without which no one can progress economically. Since then I have been doing research on the behavior of Americans, particularly of immigrants. After 30 years of research today I want to confess that many such immigrants have cheated the American System. The immigrants particularly from third world countries have made a mockery of the American political, economical and social laws by prioritizing dollar over ethics, honesty and integrity. The result of this has put the new immigrants at odds with the Local Americans who think that we are dishonest and opportunist people.
