But in there defense, I don't blame them for fighting to get out of there situations over there and wanting to come here. My family did the same in the 1800's it's just a different wave of immigration now. Oh and my family was dirt poor also but ended up living American dream will see how this wave does.
LOL. Because everywhere that isn't the glorious US and A is an awful place to live? FYI your "call center"-sounding guys flying planes probably have extremely wealthy families and they're just doing it for fun. Nearly every type of student like that I encountered had a masters degree in engineering or an MBA and just chose to fly because they thought it was easy/entertaining.
