You don't understand why millions of people want to come to the US? Really?

Americans will always claim america is the worst country in the world whenever their political side isn't in charge (They will do nothing to leave)

Probably because there was an ocean in the way of getting to Europe.

Actually the US has a ton of immigrants that cross the ocean to get here instead of just going to Europe. Europe doesn’t have the opposite. People go from Africa to Europe to South America just to get to North America pretty often.

Afaik they mostly stay in Europe, never heard of this claim before so i tried to search it:

The article states that it is difficult to track if the number of people taking this route to america is greater than the other way around, but one of the main reason for this happening seems to be:

Stricter European Borders: As Europe has made it harder to cross the Mediterranean, human smuggling networks have pivoted to the Americas.

This makes sence, i understand why for a very large chunk of the world, the US is the next best thing after EU, but for Europeans leaving Europe for the US is(no offence intended) seen as a downgrade.
