America Here I Come

NOW THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY In the usual immigrant-makes-good story, we know the plot: in a faraway country, someone yearns to come to America, makes great sacrifices, arrives with nearly empty pockets and through hard work achieves success. The story charms us through its exotic and gratifying details. This is the side of the immigrant story we've read or heard about. Now read the other side of the story and discover why you too are in America, whether you are an immigrant or not. This is the side that is never talked or written about.
