"Pushed off their lands" assumes a lot of conjecture, in my view.

Many of the immigrants to The New World weren't "pushed", but left to find a better economic future where they could raise families; a similarity to many of those born and raised here.

I wasn't "pushed" out of California when I moved to Alaska back in 1983, but did so so that I could have the financial wherewithal for my eventual move here. It was a choice.

I think many leave here out of choice.

And I think many leave here because of NO CHOICE. If they could live here and make ends meet, they wouldn't have to leave.

Were all welcome to opinions on this.
