No, they are so poor. They're not stupid or deluded, they've come here for the cold hard cash. People come from East Asia, and Mexico and Haiti and Cuba, to the U.S.A., because in the U.S.A. they can make a whole lot more money and have a whole lot more material goods than in their native countries. You see the same thing in the Middle East, where "guest workers" from poor countries sell themselves into virtual slavery in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia, because the pay is comparitively so high. If freedom were the main issue, then why would so many East Asians voluntarily pay smugglers large sums to transport them to the U.S.A. so they can work as illegal aliens in locked sweatshops here, where they can't even go for a walk under the open sky without fear of arrest and deportation?
