I read the hashtags, but I'm still going to say it. The day that people stop wanting to migrate here so badly that they break our laws to do it, I'll abdicate that America is no longer the best nation to live in.

Doesn't matter. Name another country that is having as many problems with illegal immigration to the degree that we do.
-
Name another two countries who have such a stark difference in wellbeing for its citizens that border each other. That explains why immigration is still huge here.

Edited by U6757109: 6/2/2015 1:01:20 AMThe USA is the best country in the world for the rich (maybe tied with Chile), but it's a pretty average country for the middle/lower class. Wages for the working class have stayed stagnant for the last 40 years while wages for the top 1% have increased by roughly 280%

You keep throwing those numbers out, Boss, but folks flooding across our border don't exactly think the same thing. There is still obviously something better and beneficial to them to continue to be coming here. I'm not saying that I don't believe that there aren't greedy folks out there, but that isn't deterring or impeding anyone from coming here and succeeding if they want to work hard enough for it.

Edited by U6757109: 6/2/2015 12:31:27 AMI'm not throwing any numbers out. I'm stating facts that come from directly from the Congressional Budget Office. Just because we get a lot of immigrants from Mexico doesn't automatically mean we have the best middle class in the world. Because the numbers disagree with your opinion.
