I agree with you're first part, but how many immagrants that are coming to america now have kids that don't get enough attention, most of the people that i know that cam from other countries do it for the very reason that their kids DO get enough attention ad a propper upbringing...
can you give an example of what you mean by that?

Hmm, You raise an excellent point that I hadn't thought of. I suppose what I mean is that when a kid grows up selling drugs, getting in fights, and failing school, it makes me wonder whether their upbringing was "proper". Yes, I'm using the same stereotype again, but it seems as though every mexican I know sells drugs and is involved in crime. Not only that, but their houses (or at least the ones I've seen) are pure filth. These people live in their own pathetic squalor. I know they can't afford much, but it literally costs nothing to pick up garbage and throw it away, or fold a few clothes now and then.
So, while you do have a good point, I think it's fair to say that this might be a case of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". In other words, the parents might have wanted to give their kids a better life, but did they really?
