Immigration.

Continued from A1...

     In the early 1900’s people boarded ships from Europe and flooded into American looking for a better life. In The Depression of 1929 people packed up and moved to where the work was. Wagon trains moved westward looking for better opportunities and lives. When the Dust Bowl hit Oklahoma people packed up and went looking for a better life. The Gold rush had people packing up and moving to find a better life. Throughout the entire history of our species we have packed up and moved looking for better lives. Why do you all of a sudden act like you can’t pack your belongings up and move to a better life? Why do you think you’re special and should have things built around you to make your life better? The same people who used to say “if you don’t like it, move” are now throwing hissy fits and tantrums because they refuse to take their own advice. South Americans will literally trek days and weeks through deserts by foot or train and face death to have an opportunity for a better life, an opportunity to stand in front of a Home Depot and chase every car that drives by. An opportunity to work in a field under the bright sun with no shade, with no breaks just to send money home to family and hopefully earn a better life for their families, but yet a modern American won’t move a state over, take night school or use any of the resources at their hands to better themselves. We have and always will be a species which migrates as the problems we face grow and force us to disperse.
