Thank you for the 4 part series on recent migrants to the US. I'd say, not all migrants are entreprenureal (sp?) in nature (me being a good example), but those that are, will not be working for someone for long. Regardless, u'd find that the recent migrant saves his/her money more than the average population does.

I hope that immigrants have an easier time in places other than Atlanta. My husband was transferred to Atlanta for several months while I was pregnant with Ben and still in law school. I was accepted to transfer to Emory but he decided to move back to New Orleans. Atlanta is a tough place to live. There is a nice old city of Atlanta but surrounded for many miles by highways and all the new stuff the writer talks about -- strip malls as far as the eye can see, all chains exactly the same as anywhere else. No roots, no connections. My husband says every town has its flavor, and the flavor of Atlanta is Diet Coke. I think it's hard to live in the DC metro area, too, but the pay rate is better. The fast food joints pay maybe $10 an hour. Some of the fast food joints, everybody who works there, including the managers, are native Spanish speakers.
