Yes, it really is pretty shitty. And nearly half of us seem to want to keep it that way… or worsen it. Makes me very sad when I think about it.
Of course there IS a reason people want to come. Three in fact:
1: There’s the myth that we’re a great and wealthy country.
2: People have connections here: Family, business, friends.
3: Even if we’re not as good as we were, we’re still better than where they’re coming from. Still. Though the difference is not so large as it was.
