16957, I'm on Temptation Island
Posted by k_orr, Wed Mar-07-01 05:51 AM
Or some other tropical paradise.

Let's say I don't have to work for someone in order to feed, clothe, and shelter my family. Let's say I'm a Micronesian. There are enough resources to support not only my family, but everyone on the island.

Why would I want to come to America?

- why would I want to spend 17-25 years of my life in school?
- why would I want to spend 45 years of my life working for someone (employers or customers, you still work for someone)

The only thing I can think of, that America seems to have above all other nations is Healthcare. And that only applies to those who can afford it.

peace
