Everyone seems to focus on the negativity of the third. If your home country is war torn or you are not safe, or even if you did everything right and earned a good living over there, but could lose it all over corruption or war, you'd be moving too. Just imagine going to China at age 35 and having to learn the language at that stage.....not easy.
If we had to buy our way into another country to have a better life, I'm curious how many of us could even afford it.
I'm too busy making my own living to worry about others.
I guess it's an easy target as to why some people don't do better.....blame the immigrants.
Yes, both my parents were immigrants from other countries.
