Why do jamaicans find it so easy to beg.

[Rob]

With 1,268 being deported in 2010 and another estimated 5,000 here illegally...

I can't tell you how many of my friends who emigrated here thought they'd have it easy and get rich - only to discover when they got here how HARD they must work to make that 'milk and honey'....and have returned to their home countries after they realize the quality of life here is nowhere NEAR the 'comfort and ease' they had been led to believe, all their lives.

It is bit puzzling to me how both statements can be true. Why would there be so many illegal immigrants from Jamaica in the USA if they indeed have to work so hard that they want to return home?

What I find to be an interesting observation is that I have seen so many people immigrate to Jamaica from other countries, only to discover how difficult business as well as day to day life can be here at times. The number of success stories are far outnumbered by those who have come here, tried to make their dream happen, and then leave Jamaica to return to their home countries when their dream fails to become a reality...
