“The biggest lesson from Africa was that life’s joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields; they laughed all the time.”

The fun thing here is that Spanish border patrol hardly does any work. Moroccan police beats them up (breaking their skulls and bones) even before they touch Spanish territory.
Now the question, why is Morocco so actively stopping migrants from crossing into Europe while it has no problem for them living in Morocco??

This usually occurs when some sounds are more prominent (or doesn't exist) in one language compared to other.
For example the Iranian script adds two new letters to the Arabic script as some common phonetics of Farsi are not present in Arabic.

i would advise anyone wishing to migrate to America from a developing country to consider other countries, perhaps one in Western Europe. while America may improve your standard of living, it's a very tough and competitive environment, you will receive minimal help from the government, healthcare costs you money, wages are poor for the working class even for the locals, and the politicians are more corrupt than most other developed countries.

if you migrate to the EU/EFTA/EEA area, you have more options. once you're established, you can easily move to another country if you don't like the one you're in at the moment. just find a job within 3 months of arriving there and you're good to go. you don't have to apply for a visa. within the Schengen area, you don't even need to display your passport to cross the borders.
i'm not sure how many people outside of the USA are aware of the fact that many Americans must work two jobs in order to afford food and rent.

in other developed countries, this would be unthinkable.

the exception is migrant workers, who work for low wages and rent tiny rooms in old buildings to keep costs down, either to save money up, or send it to family in the home country.

in Norway, an 18-20 year old who has worked at McDonalds for 4 months will earn a gross wage of just under $3000/month. a one-person apartment in Oslo runs you $800/month. an apartment for two people might run you $1300, so $650/month per person.
