Not sure if this is always true, but I would think that migrants have no expectation that someone would support them, would bale them out if things got tough. They have total self-reliance.

Someone said it on a tape I once heard called "Ten reasons why most people fail financially". One of them was

"a crippling sense of entitlement"

(or at least that's what I THINK it was - something like that anyway!)
