The purpose is to live comfortably-meaning to be able to pay the bills on time, without hassle. Even just a bit of it-he wanted to taste. To support his family-pluck them out of poverty was actually the main target.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe chartered the thousand mile distance to land in the country with \"greener pasture\"-so he thought. Little did he know, the green pasture was to be plowed, tilled, and tended in order to stay green.\u003cbr\u003eIn the absence of a legal status in the country he landed, trials started zig-zagging his way. Without a green card, he can't get a high paying job despite his college degree. He accepted odd jobs getting paid lower than minimum wage because he needed to get by-more so, to survive. He managed to snag employment at different companies using different credentials. But mostly he sought employment which were under the table-poverty, though, did not push him to defile his soul.\u003cbr\u003eApplying for a green card wasn't easy. He tried to apply, but to no avail. With his Mom's approved petition - Roberto pursued immigration. But immigration won't budge. With \"little\" people like Roberto-it's not supposed to. Roberto was not important enough for immigration to bow.\u003cbr\u003eWhat then would a soul do-to satisfy the requisite of a comfortable life? Does Roberto deserve it? Do any of us deserve it?\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 25, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749428494624,"sku":"9798990518940","price":37.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a08aa1489a046b46cadb35d7e891ed7c.webp?v=1779932119","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-outlanders-grit-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
