Why do they come? Because they are FROM countries that are even worse than we are. That doesn't make us any good at all. It just means we're not as bad as Venezuela, Panama, parts of Mexico, Columbia, the rest of South America, or Syria or other parts of the world that are war-torn.
America isn't great. It's merely "not as bad" as many other places.

In reality, if you look at a world chart or list of countries, The US is behind the UK at about # 11 in upward mobility. And around 30th in other issues like quality of life. The Scandinavian countries are the best. Canada is also better than the US and much harder to enter.
