This is a bad take 1) when people move to the US to avoid developing world problems, by and large they aren't moving to the places you mention. From my experience growing up in a rural state, most people who grow up there stay there - most people who move to the US aren't going _there_ for opportunities 2) the types of problems faced back home by people seeking asylum or by refugees are very different from the types of problems being faced by poor people in the US. Does being poor in the US suck? Yes, absolutely. We should do better. But let's not pretend it's comparable to living in a war zone.
