If you asked me fifteen years ago if I wanted to live in the United States, I would have jumped on the first ship to Staten Island in a heartbeat.
Nowadays I don't even want to visit the country, and unjust bullshit like this is a big reason why. Y'all have a serious problem with allowing your police forces to do whatever the hell they want and argue "qualified immunity" for things that would land you significant prison time in another developed country.
I really question why there's still a lifelong waiting list to apply for a visa to work in the US, when the state of the country is actually quite bleak...
I know a lot of Africans. I question why any of them would want to move to America as opposed to Canada (where I am) and like me they don't understand when someone they know does make the decision to move south.
Yes the money is better but no one is going to care if you're from Zimbabwe. A black person is a black person is a black person down there and by and large America is hostile AF to black people.
theres a couple of good reasons i can think of. Canada has a terrible housing market right now, and historically it hasnt had the best government track record either, things like nortel. People are STILL fucked over from that one.
what?
US is trash bud
it's really not that bad. Maybe geopolitically, but what country isn't lmao. France literally still has a colony.
The reason is because this fucked up shit doesn’t happen to the majority of people and the USA does actually offer a substantially better quality of life compared to many other places.
THAT SAID, yeah we have a lot of fucked up institutions in place that are authoritarian in nature (police) to uphold the status quo and ensure the money keeps making money.
Lol no. It “offers” the mirage of a better quality of life. That’s like saying that gambling is a job that will invariably improve your economic position. The chances of immigrants actually improving their life by moving to the U.S. aren’t that good. I mean, most of the countries that people move from at least have socialized healthcare.
this is just factually wrong.
The vast majority of working immigrants that come to america have family outside of america that they send money to. It not only improves their quality of life but their family's as well.
We also have a fairly large temporary "guest" worker population in the agriculture field as well.
That currency conversion makes what they can spare a good amount of money for their family abroad does not mean that their quality of life has improved.
the QOL of their family certainly also has. A lot of these people also come from places that are war torn or experiencing significant political corruption, the US is not nearly as bad as those places either.
Even then, chances are they're probably living in better conditions, for one reason or another. Healthcare, services, education.
Better quality of propaganda maybe, not life
If that was the only problem 🤗
to be clear, a lot of these problems exist on a county level and on a more broad state level, so this isn't quite a country level problem.
Bad people everywhere do bad things.
