> they just bring in a foreigner from a second world country
Since the end of the Cold War, the "Second World" (which was a geopolitical rather than an economic distinction) is largely meaningless (First and Third World, from the same model, have sort of migrated to mean "developed" and "less developed".)
That's to say, the second world referred to the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact nations. None of which really exist in that form any more. Being from Australia/Canada, the OP was still part of the First World by the old nomenclature.
