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..
