Do you support the decision of people leaving their own country for a country with better economic opportunity,instead of trying to change the condition of their country?

Yes i do support this.

In as much as we Love Our countriee, therr. Are some things that you can't just change, such as low income wages. I have been in the Philippines for over 8 years and i will tell you for a fact that many Filipinos who choose to go and work abroad is not because they want too but because they have too. Most of them hate leavibg their loved one's for long but they have too because they need to provide a better kife for them, here in the Philippines, a thing they would not be able to do while working here, unless they survive on credit.

I have a dear friend who is a doctor, and i was talking to him about this just few days ago. He moved from our country Tanzania to another. He told me the salary he is getting in that country is 4* more than the one specialist Doctors get in Tanzania, can you imagine? That means he is earning more in this country as a General Doctor than he would have earned in Tanzania as a specialist.

I am a Product of this type of migration, my mom is a nurse and she really wanted the best for us. Growing up, i saw her working long shifts during the day, then coming home and bake all night and vise versa, just to get an extra income to give us the best life. This was taking a toll on her health. She Nade a very tough decision to move to a better country. As this was hard for her, she has managed to see i and my sibkings though school. This wasn't her will but she had too.

Now how can those workers change their low wages from their countries? And even if they try, how long will it take untill they are heard and the issue ammended?

Two years ago, in Kenya, Doctors. Protested against low Salaries, they were threatened that they will have their licenses evoked. They pushed on to protest, peacefully and they ended up being thrown to Jail, for some good days, why? Because they dared to stand up against the government. These are only a few that had guts to do so, and they had to go through those hardships in order to be heard, but how many people have the courage to stand up against the cruelty of our corrupt African governments in order To pass a message across? In some countries they will make you dissapear before you even say P.
