Belief is a kind of magic.
The magic lies in the fact that, for the sake of belief, people can do many things that are unimaginable or incomprehensible.
Just like Enio's father, he'd rather suffer himself, make his family suffer, and see his wife and children leave than find the "Federation Dream" in the books.

Or some immigrants, whose immigrant status had become their last barrier to embracing a new life, were desperate to shed the label of immigrant—even willing to pay a great price!
Becoming a Federation person, having a job that could liberate oneself from the immigrant label, had become an obsession for many immigrants. To achieve this, they were willing to give up a lot.
And this concept was being passed on to the younger generation of immigrants, perhaps because there was a lot of discussion about it in the family, making it impossible for them not to notice and then influence their thinking.
