My Great Grandfather stowed away on a cargo ship from Germany in the early 1900s to come to the US. He worked for no pay to cover his expense for the captain of the vessel.
Once he arrived, he ended up in Southeast TN and became a respected craftsman and member of the small community where he met and married my Great Grandmother, he died a few years before I was born, and I spent some of my earliest years living in the house he built by hand that is now lost to history.
I'm sure he had a ton of privilege living in a rural community, unable to speak the language fluently as a German during WWI. /s But somehow he was able to assimilate and prosper - weird.
Weather does a number on wood in high humidity, at a certain point, it's better to tear down and rebuild than continually fix. On top of you know, wanting modern electricity etc.
A stowaway... So an illegal lmao I can already hear e the modern equivalent
then I scaled the wall and walked for days through the desert before stumbling on a rancher who let me work under the table until my anchor bebe was born

He was illegally on board, but he legally entered.
To the country yes, but still the same principal of him cutting in front of people who limited themselves to getting on the ship legally.
