During my last decade that I spend my time out of Iran mostly in Europe and North America, I met a lot of Iranians from different backgrounds who left the country and settled down in a Western country for a better life or to get rid of the Islamic government. I met a lot of people in Europe who paid a lot to smugglers to bring them to Europe and how much money they spent to get an asylum-ship. I met so many educated Iranians who couldn’t get the visa from any Western country and have hard situation in iran and a few could pay a lot to move to the western world. Even though I was not between those people, but always respected some of them who tried hard to get a better life in those countries. The situation in North America was a bit different. In addition to those people who paid to smugglers and made fade documents to get into north America and seek for asylum and in addition to eligible immigrants, I met a lot of people who have strong connections to the Iranian government and practice their believes strongly! They also seek for citizenship! I am surprised and couldn’t find an answer for that. I 100% believe in democracy. If they wanna use scarves and play their own religion , that’s fine with me but I don’t understand, if they find the situation in Iran as a great place to live and always support it, why they left it and if here is a non-religious country why you still want to stay here!! You see how tolerable Western countries are that even let you come and say whatever you want but you don’t even tolerate each other in Iran and don’t want to live there! The other negative reaction is the ordinary Western people to other people from the middle east. They judge us all the same and we some how pay the price of these few people too!
