She was thinking of immigrating to some country in south America first, and later head for US. Her son rejected the proposal. Luckily she took the young man's advice and eventually gave up the idea.
The truth is, she had no idea what life is like in South America and in North America. The son understands better, presumably due to the broader worldview available to the younger generation.
I know her and her family rather well since my mother and her wechat once in awhile. Her life in China is a lot better than those of many Chinese immigrants' here in US, especially for those situated in Chinatowns without speaking English.
Her son just got married. If I show you the wedding photos of this young couple, you would see no signs of rural life. The apparent differences between the developed cities and the countryside seem erased in their generation.
I am not saying that the message from this video is false or even misleading, but it is definitely not universal, and very unlikely typical.

What I intended to suggest is that in two years they would have learnt more about their destination countries. By then they would be able to reflect upon the genuineness of the visions and expectations they once held about these countries. This would have educational values for potential immigrants, illegal or not. Some might just decide not to migrate. This is good for all sides involved in this business.

so all you suggests are these people are too naive or single minded. So after a couple years in the US when they faced the harsh realities they are doom to fail or regret, right? How are you so certain that is going to happen? How are you so certain that they do not know anything of US? LOL

这是美国之音中文网的一篇报道（附视频，见下）。它标题是“都是为了进美国 中国大姐奋勇渡河”。
视频中，这位五十岁左右的中国大妈一个人，以“走线”方式，用她自己的话来说，就是“光明正大”的走来了，来到了美墨边境的这条河边。然后大妈她丝毫没有犹豫，纵身跨入了一人多深的河中，向对岸游去。对岸是美国。她的举动让人动容。
我不知道她是哪里人。但是从她简短的几句问答和泳姿来看，她应该是一个受过教育和游泳训练的人，可能是中国国内中等以上城市的居民。五十多岁，应该也是有家有子女的大妈。那么，是什么原因使得她如此决绝、奋不顾身的纵身一跳呢？
今天是母亲节的周末。天底下的母亲们，尤其是中国的母亲们，为了自己的子女，是会勇敢面对一切的。我猜想（瞎猜哈），这位大妈很有可能在中国生活了大半辈子后，对她家庭和她子女的前景感到绝望。所以就想出了移民美国这一条路。我接触到的一些中国人，他们在中国生活感到愤懑，然后到美国来就是服气了。一个原因就是美国是一个公开，公平的国家，没有人会特别刁难你（在美国之音中文网频道的另外一段视频中，从河对岸美国的边境执法人员们面对“非法移民”的举动中，人们就可以感知一二）。与其在中国受人欺负，不如到美国来辛苦打工，至少心情是愉快的。尤其是如果她能够立足美国，那她就可以很快申请自己的子女合法移民美国。
在美国生活，一个人会得到民主，公平和做人的尊严。如果有能力，也会富足。
但不管这位大妈为什么要来美国，我只是想祝福她在美国的移民之路能够顺利，能够实现她的梦想。
美国之音的这段视频，她今后在移民法庭上面呈法官，会对她的案子有帮助。法官也是富有人性的。面对法官，其实什么话也不要多说，就是想想这一生一路走来的痛苦，泣不成声，甚至嚎啕大哭都是可以的。就像孩子在外面受了委屈，见到父母时放声大哭一样，我相信法官是会被打动的。
每月几百美元的退休金。还要天天找工做工，生活在车子里。。。她真的会比Fran 强吗？人家至少会英语。

发现 金兄反党，老秃头有些爱党了。老秃兄后来得了心脏病，不知他现今如何？世上的事苍桑变化，令人唏嘘。我对 爱党反党的网友，只要真诚，就可以彼此交流一下。
能澄清不少问题。
