  5.  @goes2112  let's tackle this "What makes the USA so special? Is it magic dirt? Is it the systemic racism/sexism that makes all these people want to come here? Does 1 mile south of the boarder really have so much fewer resources than our side? What makes America great is the American culture, legal system, economic system? Why can't other countries emulate all these things and duplicate our success, instead of just coming here and taking them from us?" this is a fair point. The answer is nothing. Or money. For one, canada is further away. The people near european countries, go to to european countries for the most part. Tho some want to get as far as possible. But basically Proximity. And I'll be honest that I don't know the answer. I forgot to mention that. But let's not forget that the U.S has two advantages. 1. They started out smaller, and grew bigger. Most other SA settlements were already established across a much larger landmass. That's how the U.S got texas afterall. 2. The U.S itself has destablized the region repeatedly. While the U.S has been relatively peaceful within it's own structure. The only war it launched was basically a sort of piracy against the natives. And the one civil war. I'm sure there's other reasons I just don't know about. It's like being rich. Success develops success. Wealth creates more wealth. The leg ups the U.S have had, with WW2 ect, and with it started out stronger and having relatively weak opponents and stability have just given it more wealth. It is a shame that there is so much immigration in that sense. Because I'm sure a lot of people would have loved to stay in their country. If everyone's country were great. But some countries are just so small too. It's the same reason why people move out of towns into cities. And from lower poor states to richer ones.
