It's not the actual content of the books, it's the way they talk about it-- a lot of these books say basically 'the place I come from is the worst place in the world and the U.S. is Best and has no problems', and of course the U.S. has problems. Everywhere has problems. No place is perfect. People in the U.S. I think shouldn't hear that it's perfect all the time, because it makes it less likely that the problems here will be solved instead of totally ignored. It is completely likely that the U.S. is better for a lot of people who have moved to it than the places they came from, but 'better' and 'perfect' are not the same thing.
