It always made me wonder why a person from other areas of the world, whether is be the Far East, Central America, South America, or wherever, would want to come to a much colder climate with sometime terrible winters and settle down. Then the answer became obvious. Go where the best freebies are.
I haven't gotten into this debate previously because the issue was "very hot" and I just didn't want to make a comment. However, I have to take exception with the quote above. While I'm not naive enough to believe that
some folks do come here for "freebies", I also believe that the vast majority of the immigrants are looking for a better life financially and politically. Why would they put up with the cold and the hardship if they didn't
HOPE that there could be something better? Isn't that what America was founded on?
