If America is so bad then why does everyone want to immigrate here?

Because we have a good marketing strategy. Are you familiar with the concept of “false advertisement” ?

No, you asked why people wanted to come here. I answered the question: we present an image of ourselves internationally that living here is a lot better than it actually is. That is in no way a commentary on how beneficial the system of immigration actually is.

You say the reason everyone is coming here is based on a lie. Why should people be giving into a lie and coming here if like you said it’s false advertising. Wouldn’t there be other countries that don’t have any false advertising

So you’re arguing as if I said I was opposed to immigration? I think people should be able to move to whichever country they want for whatever reason they want. I’m sure there are countries that are more honest about the quality of life there, and if you’re really opposed to immigration, you should lead the charge on letting the international community know how America’s infrastructure is crumbling, poverty is rampant, and how the police commit human rights violations

I think you might be misunderstanding. I made a post about immigration and asking why does everyone want to come here if it sucks so much. You said that the reasoning is because of “false advertising” aka lying to people. So the immigration industry in America is thriving because like you said the people are being lied to about how good America is. So is a system that is based on lying to people a system that we should be keeping in place or is there another system not built on lies

People should just be honest. People should recognize there are other better places to immigrate because America's is capitalist of course. Immigration to the US is associated with thousands of dollars so the people involved in that industry have a reason to keep lying to people.

That’s literally not the point. The point is that, hypothetically - IF America was more honest about what life is actually like you, immigration would drop significantly. That’s not gonna happen though because there’s too much money to be made on the selling of American exceptionalism

It's just another time capitalism is ruining the world for us. The idea of American Exceptionalism leeches into the cultural zeitgeist and people start to believe that it's actually the best country on earth despite not being first in literally anything.

And then nothing gets changed in the country to help people. Our country is currently sitting in the 90s basically as far as policy goes. We still don't have SNAP elections to kick this geriatric orange out of the fucking seat.

No lying about how coming to America will almost guarantee success is definitely causing people to want to move here more over let’s say another country with similar cultural values and backgrounds. Now onto us meddling in foreign affairs. Again do you think America would be the best place for families to try and restart their life after America violently uprooted their original way of living.
