of course they would be better in Africa!
I guess you are African so plz spread the word so that not a single African emigrates to the USA (or Europe which is just the same). I am as baffled as you. Why would Africans and people from other continents risk their lifes to have a worst life in Western countries.

In this particular case watching your parents, relatives, and friends slaughtered, then to be interned in some refugee camp for nine years anywhere no matter how bad it is can only be an improvement on what they have already suffered.

Besides they never had any say in the matter

I haven't seen the movie, but most of the things you enumerate are choices,
not obligations.
You can eat, drink and live in a toxic way easily not only in the USA, but here in
Belgium, too.
But if you're smart enough to chose a healthy lifestyle and a positive enviorment, you
can have a long, happy and healthy life.

Ask them.

The truth was that they needed counseling. They each had, at best, survivor guilt and, at worst, PTSD. But you can see that the system was already overloaded just trying to care for them physically. Then 9/11 happened and the nation changed radically. Thankfully they already had individuals who wanted to help them.

But all the advantages of living in the US had to be weighed with the disadvantages. In many ways they were like time travelers plopped into the future with no guide to all the dangers. No society is free from problems, you just inherit a different set of problems.

Counseling? In usa counseling means psychiatrist. Mostly drugs. Not good.
Instead of working out problems with counseling drugs hide the problem until your hanging from the ledge. Too late. Pharmaceutical companies push these drugs to kids.
That is criminal.
Are you crazy tobtake these drugs. Then why give the to kids?
