Revolution

Neville, a 63-year-old immigrant from Jamaica, reflects on why people leave the safety and familiarity of their home countries:

Yeah, [Jamaicans] migrate a lot. It’s what they call, um, a pressure release? People migrate because if, uhm, if it wasn’t for migration, then you’d have revolution… because there would be no outlet for individuals to acquire what they’re looking for, what the government can’t give them.
