Why would someone leave Poland for the US? [120]
Most people who immigrated were common folk who lived in villages, and had a choice to do a long commute to a bigger city for low pay, or work in the fields and be a poor hardworking farmer forever. Hence the lines in front of the US Embassy were packed each and every day.
that is not true of thos who came to USA in the last 20-30 years. a lot, and i mean a lot of educated people skipped Poland because of the commie opression.
the country folks, if you will, were the ones who immigrated at the break of the 20th century.
Life was crap for a lot of people so we went to America, where there was opertunity.
Life is better here now and America is suffering.
nah. some maybe suffering but many are doing just fine. it's all in how you set yourself up.
