I have worked with ME/South Asian people, and everyone of them had along-term plan..(I had a plan to get a degree, etc., and see no reason why someone in another country would not plan their future involving immigration to several countries, etc.).

The goal was always the USA...The weird thing, is they even go there when it is arbitrarily worse for them...I have met cab drivers in Chicago, who were from places like Jordan who said "Oh' i'm Canadian too - ten years in Toronto!"..then I ask, so why did you leave "I didn't like the weather, winters too cold!

Uh, yeah, right buddy, you are in Chicago, not south Florida..
