Aina välillä kuulee väitettävän Yhdysvaltojen "aiheuttaneen" Euroopan pakolaistilanteen. Ilmeisesti ajatus menee niin, että koska Yhdysvallat on kantanut vastuunsa Lähi-Idän tilanteesta, niin pakolaisvyöryt Eurooppaan ovat Yhdysvaltojen vika. Tämä on aika mielenkiintoinen tulkinta, sillä eurooppalaiset aivan itse päättävät kuinka he rajojaan valvovat.
Toisaalta olisiko taustalla erilaiset kokemukset maahanmuutosta? Amerikkalaiset näkevät maahanmuuton mahdollisuutena. Miettikää nyt jotain Steve Jobsia, syyrialaisen maahanmuuttajan poika, joka loi yhden maailman arvokkaimmista yhtiöistä. Yhtiön, jonka tuotteita eurooppalaisetkin himoitsevat. Ehkä tämän takia amerikkalaiset eivät pidä ongelmana Lähi-Idästä Eurooppaan suuntautuvia valtavia muuttovirtoja, sillä heidän kokemuksensa lähi-Idästä kotoisin olevista maahanmuuttajista voivat olla erilaisia kuin eurooppalaisilla. Tietysti Yhdysvalloissa Lähi-Idästä kotoisin olevien osuus maahanmuuttajista on selvästi pienempi kuin Euroopassa.
Biological and adoptive families
Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, to Abdulfattah Jandali and
Joanne Schieble, and
was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs (née Hagopian).
[3]
His biological father, Abdulfattah "John"
(al-)Jandali (
Arabic: عبد الفتاح الجندلي) (b. 1931), grew up in
Homs, Syria, and was born into an
Arab Muslim household.
[4] While an undergraduate at the
American University of Beirut,
Lebanon, he was a student activist and spent time in prison for his political activities.
[4] He pursued a PhD at the
University of Wisconsin,
where he met Joanne Carole Schieble, a Catholic of Swiss and German descent.[4][5] As a doctoral candidate, Jandali was a
teaching assistant for a course Schieble was taking, although both were the same age.
[6]
Mona Simpson,
Jobs's biological sister, notes that her maternal grandparents were not happy that their daughter was dating a Muslim.[7] Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs's
official biographer, additionally states that
Schieble's father "threatened to cut Joanne off completely" if she continued the relationship.
[5]
Jobs's adoptive father, Paul Reinhold Jobs,
[8] was a Coast Guard mechanic. After leaving the Coast Guard, Paul Jobs married Clara Hagopian in 1946.
[9] Their attempts to start a family were halted after Clara had an
ectopic pregnancy, leading them to consider adoption in 1955.
[10][9][8]
Birth
Schieble became pregnant with Jobs in 1954, when she and Jandali spent the summer with his family in
Homs, Syria.
According to Jandali, Schieble deliberately did not involve him in the process: "without telling me, Joanne upped and left to move to San Francisco to have the baby without anyone knowing, including me."[12]
Schieble gave birth to Jobs on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco
and chose an adoptive couple for him that was "Catholic, well-educated, and wealthy,"[13][

[14] but the couple later changed their mind.
[13][

[15] She then took the matter to court in an attempt to have her baby placed with a different family,
[13][

only consented to releasing the baby to Paul and Clara after the couple pledged to pay for the boy's college education
