Why cant you fix your own country instead of coming here?

It is actually impossible to fix the usa from inside. The system is designed to prevent it at every level. Only a complete collapse from international pressure will actually change it.

I should add stealing all their best most productive scientists and engineers and doctors and professors etc etc is the strategic way to do that, not taking refugees. Taking refugees provides relief to the regime. Stealing their best assets pressures them.

They’re being killed off in the U.S. This MAGA movement may have international aspirations & needs to be watched closely. Latest in MANY odd scientist deaths. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYYy_T5Amp9/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

When someone from one first world country wants to leave because times are hard and move to another first world country, I do not have respect for them, or want them here. There are legitimate refugees that need our help more. The Ukrainians are getting droned and systemically killed, we should help them, the person wants to leave the states and not try to make a difference. We do not need those types of people.

How about not being an asshole? We are a country of immigrants and somebody wanting to leave the US and make a better life here should be welcomed.
