Why are migrants so desperate to come here?

    I think my point is pretty clear: America is a shithole. Don’t come here. Go somewhere else where you won’t be treated like a subhuman and where infrastructure works.

    I mean if they really want to come here, I’m not going to stand in their way. I just think it’s a bad idea.

      Maybe you should get offline and live in the real world for a bit. Terrible things happen in America just like everywhere else, and you’re making this point at the expense of people suffering from a natural disaster.

          No you aren’t, you’re using a record shattering disaster to try to make some really fucking stupid point about how vague ‘other countries’ are somehow much better than America.

          Disasters happen everywhere. Get your head out of your ass, you usually can string together a decent point, but this is just idiotic.

      Do you think people are walking across the Darien Gap or the dessert just because? Do you think human rights and infrastructure are so amazing in these other countries that people just come here for the adventure and the vibes?
