Immigrant foundations
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"I suppose that my parents, being children of immigrants, faced the typical regime of challenges. Of course you are building your own foundations and that takes a considerable amount of time.
"Once we've been here several generations we realize the advantages of their foundation-building. We take them for granted.
"But if we were to have to move to a new country and just land with our bags, we'd realize quickly how much work goes into building foundations and what a drag on your productivity that can actually be."
