And the whole point of my post is that somewhere down the line we will have to sacrafice our comfort levels and start over ELSEWHERE.
The whole point of the immigrant stories is that a family or families pooled together their resourses, sent ONE or TWO people to another country to work, scrape together a living initially and was able to prosper much like Opaldark has stated about the various chinatowns all over this country.
People are not standing around hemming and hawwing about how they are going to go about doing it, or waiting around until they have enough people to make a move. They just do. In the process they meet up with like minded people and THERE they gather strength in numbers. Or, they hook up with people already there and join them one by one.
There are some who think that by gaining economic and educational power in the meantime that we will finally be seen as equals here in this country. It will never happen.
