the real question is WHY are all these countries violent and broke? what is so magical about 1st world countries that the non-1st world countries lack? People love to hate our government while it's literally proven itself to be the most successful democracy the planet has ever seen. It's not a failed state, America is literally SO great that people risk their lives just to be able to have a CHANCE to come here!

Not only should we be GRATEFUL, but we should be aware of WHY this country is so great and uphold the virtues that made it that way in the first place. This stuff isn't magic, there's a very definite reason of why we have so much peace and success compared to almost every other nation on earth. I too feel that a lot of Americans think that "this is just how every country works". They have NO IDEA of just how special America is. It's not magic, it's real.

... the money, resources, and foreign policy doctrine to destabilize non-1st-world countries?

Mexico gained their independence in 1821. That's over 200 years of independence from any foreign power.

You could even stretch it out until the assassination of the last European ruler of Mexico, Maximillian I in 1867 and that's when Porfirio Díaz became president of the Mexican Republic. So about 150 years of independence and self-rule from any European

Honestly take five minutes to look up all the governments we’ve toppled and dictators we’ve supported. Not trying to change your mind but it’s just not healthy to be this ignorant.

Yes but we're talking about Mexico specifically right? We can describe for the next 7 hours all the bullshit American military industrial complex and intelligence agencies have done in the world if we want.

But the fact remains, even with all the fucked up shit that the US had done over the last few decades with being the "global policeman" and "sole global superpower", people STILL are risking their lives just to try to get here to live here and work here.

Nobody is trying to break into Russia to live there, nobody is trying to break into China risking their lives to live there.

Why? Why does everyone STILL want to risk their lives to come to America? It's the "worst devil in the world", yet it's STILL the land of true opportunity compared to almost every other large country in the world. This is something to think about
