"Often, moving to a new country is financially motivated, as it was with my parents, who moved to the United States in the 1970s with an eye toward saving enough money to move back to Argentina and start a business."

Wow. Pathmark. I haven't heard that grocery store name in ages. Great read!
Yeah, are they even around anymore? Haven't seen one in a LONG time.
Thanks for reading, Arturo.
