I was thinking about the logistics of it all and the speed by which they were
moving ... people need to be fed, they need to sleep, poop, pee, drink, health
care ... It didn't happen just out of the blue, which I guess is what you are
saying.
 
On the other hand, and this is kicking-in an open door, the USA (and Canada) is
 a nation mostly founded on immigration ...
 
I always wonder how bad it must be for people to leave their home turf well
knowing they will never return... Today New York is just 8 hours away across
the Atlantic, but that has been different. It was like a mountain range you
only crossed once.
 
An uncle of mine emigrated by freighter vessel in 1959, with his wife and son.
In 1972 on passing-through I visited him in Detroit, in 1974 my dad saw him
there too. My uncle never ventured back for a visit to his family, sisters,
parents.
 
I vividly remember our deceased colleague-sysop Joe Delahaye who emigrated with
 his familiy to Canada and came back with his aging mother a couple of times to
 visit her family. Once he told me "This is going to be her last time but she
doesn't know it" ... I'm a family person and things like that just tear me up
...
