This is one of the things that helped transform the US into a global superpower. The US government encouraged immigration and immigrants had access to the same opportunities as the citizens. The immigrants contributed their qouta to the growth of the US economy and she soon became a great capitalist force. I think Finland has a thing or two to learn from that. Though I don't expect any changes in the Finnish policy on this issue but you did a good job of making a life for yourself amidst the difficulties.
