      As my dad explained why he immigrated “We just did the stuff no one else wanted to”. It was worth it to send money back to his family in Mexico. He also knew it wasn’t forever.

          Considering he made more here even at lower wages it was worth it. It was still higher wages than where he was from.

              Unfortunately the issue is they are treated worse or they have no opportunities for employment.

                  I’m sorry I meant in their home country but you are right too. However, the opportunity is what they are looking for, not the best outcome.
