Why did you or your ancestors come to the United States? War, poverty, jobs, genocide, violence, religious persecution, potato famine, family already here, marriage, medical, slave or indentured servant, etc etc?

opportunity. a chance to live well.

I never understood it until i saw it for myself. I traveled to my wife's country and saw how bad things were over there. I met her family and learned a lot. I looked down to her niece who my wife cared nothing for and realized that the only thing this little girl had to look forward to was having some dumb asses babies and taking care of the home.

Maybe if she was smart and her single mom who didn't look to give a shit at giving her kid a chance at doing something more than being a baby making cooking cleaning machine paid for school beyond the regular middle school level, maybe she had a chance at a ok job that would pay above shit.

If not, at 13-15 she would fuk off with the first dick that told her something sweet get married and start popping kids.
