hey you north american! question about legal immigration at america, will I get along?

I´ve heard about how hostile americans are about illegal immigration, read texts and seen videos. sure I understand that. but how about legal immigrants? how you feel about them? I am finnish, european(white) looking guy, I speak english quite well, I am training illustrator/comic artist and writer (currently at last year of high school, after that artist school). in my country there are almost no way to get paid enough as comic artist, artist overall or writer, because it´s country of 6 million people. there are no markets, no buyers. it sucks. all good comic books (like marvel´s adaption of stephen king´s dark tower series) gets cancelled, because it just wont sell. so I´ve been thinking about moving to somewhere at north america, canada or usa after my education. (chicago, new york, toronto, vancouver or some other big city) sometimes I get worried about that I am not going to be getting along with people overall there because they are against immigrants taking their jobs. but if I have green card, and in time maybe citizenship, I pay my taxes/bills and speak english very well, will I get along with locals? if I humbly do my job, write good stories, draw great art and comic books that sell (or work for some publisher like marvel), why I would be abhorred? I know there are some absolute racists who don´t absolutely allow no immigration, but how about overall? all I just want is to get to do what I want, write good stories, (books and comic books) draw and create art. so, how you think? and will I get along with locals overall? thank you. ps. I love america and canada already :3 to John J. S: my country doesnt has book or comic readers enough, in finland there´s 5 353 197 people = comic artists and writers are rare to have a job. while in north america there are 528,720,588 people (in 2008), so I have to disagree with you, I believe in such a high number of people there are quite a lot of comic and book readers = jobs for me. anyways my question was would I get along with people at north america. not that are there jobs for me, because I know there are. but thanks for your answer anyways.

No, you will not have a problem (disegard what the others said). The fact is, people will always see you as (a non-Eastern) European, and you will find that not only do they NOT have a problem with this group of people, they are highly interested and intrigued by this. They will ask about your country, tell you they've been to Europe (even if where they've been is absolutely nothing like or nowhere near Finland), ask you questions about your country, and if they have any trace of Finnish blood, they will tell you that too. You are coming here not to move away from a third world country, but as a professional seeking work, which means you are in an ENTIRELY different category than what most people think of as an "immigrant". People will see you as a "comic artist" rather than an "immigrant". As such there is no reason anyone has to know, or will even ask, what your immigration status is. As long as you don't have a problem with North Americans and North America, they will not have a problem with you. The Finnish and North American cultures are compatible enough that the differences will not affect your acceptance here.
