Many of my ancestors immigrated to the Americas in the 17th or 18th century.

Best case I have something like 4th or 5th cousins in Europe. Not someone I can just drop into their lives.

I wasn't insinuating that you go back from whence your family came. I was trying to point out that it is in human nature to migrate to somewhere that holds the possibility of a better life. Not knowing the culture or language is not as big of a barrier as people are making it out to be.

The #1 concern of someone leaving a country, is whether or not the receiving country is actually a better place. It is absolutely critical to understand the culture of where you're going to, if you expect to evaluate how you're gonna live.
