I can still remember [circa the 1970's] seeing the uncontrollable sobbing of some Latin guys getting released at the end of spring training. Never saw any Americans react this way. Why?

Because growing up where they did, they fully well knew the very stark contrast between the opportunities they might have here, vs. where they had been and now had to return to.
In a somewhat relative context, some of my most favorite guys to talk to about this country are cab drivers in big cities like New York. Asking them what they think about this country almost always yields an interesting insight.
And this is especially true when you ask them about those young college educated "woke" types [yea, you know the type!] who think this country is the most racist, sexist, repressive, etc., country ever.
As I have said many times, if only these types could wake up and find themselves in Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, etc., etc, for about a month or so [assuming they would even survive either physically or psychologically for a month].
