> The US is supposedly so bad for the poor yet they are breaking down the door to come here, month after month. The hope of most poor coming into the US isn't that the US is better for poor people, it's that by coming to the US they can stop being poor. And in most cases it doesn't work. In fact, the American dream of "anyone can become rich" is a lie which exists specifically to justify why we've let America become such a shitty place for poor people. After all, why do we have to improve conditions for the poor if they can just become rich? It's their own fault they've chosen to be poor--they must like it, right? Really, rich people have no idea what's going on with poor people, and you should really stop talking about things you don't understand.
