My boss would make comments according to what you said and some things i've seen in people from different country seem to fit and back up what he has said and mentions, it is though still very vague.....
Usually People who can and will migrate are people who are well off in other countries.
Example: one of our stories we read (i'll try to find out which again to back this theory up) said they had a better life and higher stature back home, here we're struggling to live
If you think about it, makes sense, how can people having a hard life in your "hometown" migrate if they're already struggling?
it may appear as if most people who migrate here illegaly are well of because of the cost.But, as you concluded " unless you get help coming here"... most of the people receive help from their families/friends to migrate.In fact, many sell any assets that they have in order to migrate to the US. Also, the process of migration is not easy and it is often heartbreaking and brusque but poor people are willing to go through such an experience to escape the poverty of their homeland.Or like in the Latehomecomer, to escape war.
true, but again, if they are having trouble living there, they won't idlely make it here ethier......
There, they're in poverty, and no food
if they come here, its liek what 1000$ for flight, over 3000 (huge guess) for citizenship, not to mention getting a green card (which only last 3 months) then theres rent (depending on where they stay) you stay in san jose/bay area 1 bed room is 1000k unless you wanna live in a low level area where its horrible cause of gangs, problems, druggies etc then ok but do you wanna?
if you live with family fine, but then 1 room with 2-3 people, or a house with 2 rooms with 5 people =\
Many people come to the US in hope of creating a better future for themselves. Many find economic refuge in the US. I think their struggles in their native country often time outweights the burden they take on here as illegal immigrants.
I think it depends on the situation. There are some people who want to come in the U.S just to explore the place and some are for good living. I think if you are having a hard life living in your hometown ,then migrating in the U.S is a great oppurtunity to improve life.
It really does depend on the person's situation. Maybe their family is here or their living conditions in their own country is way worst than what they would face if they were to come here illegally. But in the experiences of some illegal immigrants I know and even some legal immigrants who have just arrived here in the past 5 years, I think it would've been better if they stayed in their country. These people I know are much more wealthy back in their country, they have their friends, a home and a familiar lifestyle, but now that they are in America, they have to work much harder and they have to start from scratch. So I guess it really just depends on the situation.
I think it depends. If you have a hard life in your hometown, you should try to migrate here because of greater opportunities.
ReplyDeleteum... well I've heard different..........

Your point is valid Rich,

my brothers are willing to do anything to move back to America because they are tired of hunger living in the Philippines.
