Immigration to the United States of America

It is not enough to make the decision to move, you also need to decide in which of the fifty states you can build real happiness. The American states are so different that it will not be so easy to choose.

Conventionally, the Americans divide their country into four parts - West, South, Midwest and Northeast.

1. The northeastern states are quite popular with Russian emigrants. Firstly, the easiest way to fly here is to fly home from time to time. The northeast is distinguished by a highly developed economy and a fusion of many cultures. Secondly, there is a fairly high level of tolerance of the population - they are loyal and friendly to newcomers. Most of the population lives in an urban environment, so local megalopolises amaze with the speed of life and the number of people. Thirdly, the climate here resembles that familiar to Russians, all seasons are pronounced.

   Due to the close location of the ocean, the climate is slightly more humid, but the local population has such advantages as nice beaches and seafood at relatively low prices.

2. The East of the United States of America beckons visitors with the Big Apple - New York City. This is one of major cities of this region, and the Russians have practically their own quarter here. Of course, we are talking about Brighton - a mixture of Soviet culture with the American dream.
3. If we consider the state of New York, then everything is as simple and easy as in neighboring New Jersey. Quiet, comfortable, prices are high, but at the same time, everyone can afford everything.

Finding a job here can be a problem, because even the local population often travels to work in neighboring New York. There are universities in the south of New Jersey, which means that you can find very, very cheap housing there. True, its level of comfort will also be low.
5. Pennsylvania attracts Russian speakers no less than Brighton Beach - this is where Philadelphia is located, which, according to second wave migrants, was a city of dreams.

Some of them are named after the names of long-disappeared Indian tribes, for example, the state of Delaware. There are named after cities - New York or Washington. There is a deserted state where nuclear warheads are being tested - Nevada, named after one of the versions for the lack of water there. There is the state of Colorado, famous for its striped beetles that devour potatoes by millions of tons, which is already not clear whether the beetle was named by the state, or the state by the beetle. Most likely, the truth is somewhere nearby, but hidden in the classified materials.

States of America, united into a powerful modern state. It was created by settlers, the core of which were Protestants and peasants who fled from England, the masses of which made a real exodus to the new world. They fled from gloomy commercial laws, when entire villages were driven from the land, because at that time it was most profitable to produce the famous English chintz, and the fields were filled with giant flocks of sheep.

__________________________________________________________________________
Therefore, the customs of the settlers were simple and harsh. Protestants have no intricate concepts and no one needed to check the uniqueness of the Bible text in order to know simple things: If a person is poor, then the Lord does not love him, if he is rich, it means that by this he speaks of his closeness to himself. Due to persecution, many had to abandon real estate in France and in the New World, according to Protestant concepts, they had only to work, work and work. Otherwise, there were continuous disasters, which spoke of a likely going to hell, which no one definitely wanted.
