   I think that most people who come here hope to stay. A lot of them are   
   on a student Visa and trouble starts when the Visa runs out and they   
   don't want to go back the their homeland. If they can't duck the   
   authorities here they may try to cross the border to the USA hoping   
   to make it work there.   
      
   Generally immigrants here, their biggest complaint comes when they   
   hit their first winter. Many of them have never seen snow in their   
   lives and suddenly find themselves buried in it at -10F degrees..  B)   
      
   Where I am, my worst winter there were several days one week colder   
   than -40c (-40 Celcius is also -40 Fahrenheit).. I had to go for   
   about 10 days unable to start my truck since back then I had to   
   park at the end of the road here where they stopped plowing snow,   
   about a mile from my house, half a mile from Any house, so there   
   was no way to plug it in. It finally 'warmed' up one day to a   
   balmy -25c (-13F) and I was finally able to get it started and get   
   out to buy groceries..
