    I feel like you may have misread the comment you’re replying to…

    Those are all things people from “non-shithole” countries already have, and they almost certainly have even more

      Not disagreeing, I agree there’s little reason why citizens of wealthy nations would come here. I’m just pointing out all the reasons why ‘shithole’ countries want in. Those things don’t really apply to countries that have living wages and good social supports.

      US high wages by and large go to people who already have significant wealth. It’s all funneled upwards. All of the immigrants and the poors here work in indentured servitude to their feudal land lords. Sure slavery is gone but you still have a master who can decide your fate should they choose to… for most of us anyway.
