I recently went to a local store to purchase a money order. The gentleman behind the counter was a Latin American who went on a RANT about how people were sending billions of dollars every year back to Mexico/ElSalvador, etc. How proud he is to be an American citizen, what a wonderful country this is, how worthless most of Latin America is. I was amazed as he ranted on with his hispanic accent.... and pleased.
That is because he knows like our relatives knew how bad Europe and Asia was. The man is a solution to the problem, he knows what it is to suffer in a poor country like a lot of our relatives did. Do some family research, there is a sad story in every family. There was one in my fathers , I bet you can find one in yours.
