So they’re from the “America is the land of milk and honey, where there is endless opportunity, and dreams can come true” generation of migrants.

My own family is the same, but the illusion has been shattered for them over the last several years.

Crazy how you use the word serving. It is not serving , it is participating in Illegal wars
