I think we need to admit that hosting The World Cup was an epic soft power move. No more sending money all over the world, just host The World Cup and the Olympics and let the world come to the U.S. and experience our greatness.
Come visit the U.S.! We love visitors! We love experiencing the culture the different countries bring!
Just don’t overstay your welcome or enter illegally. If you decide you want to permanently relocate to the U.S., you’re welcome here, just do it legally. It’s simple.

A teacher at an elementary school in South Carolina wanted to help boys who didn't have fathers at home, so he started a "Gentleman's Club" where the boys dress up, learn to shake hands, and be supportive.
He even has extra jackets and ties for the boys who can't afford them.
