What if we change your question. What if we ask about asylum seekers? Does that make it any clearer?
If you spend about 20 minutes online, you will find out that many people are fleeing their home countries because they don’t want to be killed, forced into slave-like conditions, or forced into occupations such as prostitution. Or they want to prevent that from happening to their children.
If you were to ask people in situations like this what country they’d like to go to, in the abstract, they might not say the United States. But their options are limited. So, what country are you suggesting as an alternative? If someone is starting in El Salvador, to pick a random country in Central America, where do you think they should go?
Well of course if you’re seeking asylum it’s different. That’s why I said migrants and not asylum seekers.
If you are willingly migrating to a country that is so broken that it could take weeks to get fresh water back to residents while they are mostly cut off from the rest of the country for an unspecified amount of time, maybe find a more functional place to migrate to.
As to where- maybe just keep heading north until you get to Canada. At least you’ll get free healthcare.
Careful. We take refugees and skilled people first, and without a need or a needful skill you may have a bad go at it.
Healthcare ain’t free for real, but since it’s already paid for with taxes it seems it. It’s just massively-discounted before tax money buys it thanks to a reverse monopoly single-payer thing. You knew that, but it’s fun to show how a system the GoP should like is one they instead revile.
