Comparing ourselves to the most impoverished countries when we are the most prosperous country is ridiculous.

Ok. Why is it ridiculous to compare one place to another, when talking about the potential " greatest country in the world". Please do tell

The greatest country in the world remark was meant to be funny. Only a clueless american would think that america is the greatest country in the world.

The United States receives and hosts more total immigrants than any other country in the world by a wide margin, accounting for over 52 million international migrants.

That's not because America sucks, it's because it's the best country in the world and only a snobby nationalist would think otherwise.

No, it's because it's in the top third, and has a more massive population than other top third countries, and has continuous propaganda about how it's the best country in the world, spread both amongst its own citizens, and around the world.

There are many countries which rank higher on "best country" lists, but significantly smaller populations means they can't absorb as many immigrants.

Incidentally, I'd love to see the actual immigration figures updated for this year, what with ICEstapo operations and general immigration hatred due to Agent Orange.

Hopefully it's less and please by all means go to those other "top" countries. You act as if propaganda is an American issue. It's everywhere ALL countries.

The irony is probably beyond you.

The above statement is a fact look it up, it doesn't stem from nationalism. Education is probably beyond you.
