Why did your parents decide to move to America?

[KevinT]

Or if you're not in America, wherever you are.

My parents came here for more financial freedom, both of them came from poor families and then they basically struck it rich here.

[XETN]

My mom came here because the rest of her family were here.

My dad came here because my mom dragged him out of Hong Kong.

[Lance]

because there are more opportunities in America than there was in china at the time.

I guess to escape the poverty of Vietnam

[MickelBoy]

My family were refugees escaping the Vietnam war.

[chiyuffie]

To stay alive because of war...

[lilmizzruby]

They didnt like having to be under communism.

[XeroXtancy]

Escape the poverty of Vietnam and to provide their children with a higher education so they may live a successful life.

[do0o wee]

for better future and life.

[paithao]

They had very little choices. It was either to come here or face genocide.
