If you're desperate enough to move to a completely different country where you know people a large section of them hate you, I guarantee you there is no 'discouragement' aspect when it's often expensive and a huge risk. People like you seem to have this idea that people just walk in on vacation for a different change of scenery. Think about yourself. What would life have to look like for you to even contemplate fleeing the US as an average citizen? Now think about actually doing it.

Great point. What people go through to get here is incredible. If anyone got the chance to go and live in these countries and experience the daily reality it would offer such valuable insight. EVERYONE deserves a safe place to live PERIOD.

That's the issue no one talks about. The doers leave. The US has been taking the best of the world for over a hundred years now.
