"There are no limits to our dreams"...Barack Obama.
So I ask myself "What is in the US that people want to come and live here?" As one who had this ambivalent feeling of leaving my native country, I often wonder why?
In the Philippines, people wait long years for their turn to come to US, and hurdle obstacles for the opportunity to see America (we have just come from the USCIS, and the people lining up to get their papers processed is a semi-United Nations! People from Asia, Africa, Europe, and Middle East were all represented!). The reasons maybe as varied as the people coming here: the opportunity, the freedom, the peace and order, the egalitarian nature of American society, the abundance, the material wealth, the convenience...
Or just simply because America puts no limit to our dreams...
