“To live” is in a sentence with an infinitive being used as an adjective. The infinitive does not indicate any particular tense, but to the concept of living (used as another part of speech). Infinitive phrase “to live in the Americas” is a modifier of “human beings” in this case.
In the Free Dictionary. Infinitives
are used to express an action as a concept, when they can’t be done, this can’t be. ” In this way, they can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs—that is, nearly any role in a sentence except that of a main verb.
Infinitives can step on their own to complete these functions, or they can work together with their own predicates (any additional information that modifies or completes them) to form infinitive phrases. Infinitive phrases function as a noun, adjective, or adverb as a single, holistic unit. ”

I am lazy but I can say that if I have something done for me or to someone that I have not done myself, I don’t have a wrong move. This usage of the verb “have” is not appropriate for a linguistic person. I had a dizzy spell and my hair had to fall off so I told my mom that you move. I, like most of the other men who have dementia, had no idea that a similar thought had occurred to me. I should probably stop thinking about it.
Why does not that use the phrase “I faced the situation when your mom told me you moved,” which emphasizes my response or just recounts that it happened. I’m not wasting my time just listening to it. I don’t like it, it does not carry precisely the same connotations or structure as “I faced the situation when your mom told me you moved.”
You would say that you “faced a situation” (active voice) or that you “were faced with a situation” (passive voice), but not that you “faced with a situation” (GE ).
As to this specific usage, the word “having” in your sentence is a gerund, as one of the antecedents to the pronnoun “it” in “how it felt”.
