America is the country everyone wants to live in. Why else do we have 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants. So i'm proud to be American.

Not saying America is perfect. Countries are made up of people and if theres no perfect people then no perfect countries. But i firmly believe this is the best country on earth.

Not according to the Economist, who show the US coming in at number 16.

if America is not the greatest country in the world, please tell the foreigners that so they will stop sneaking across the border. We have more than enough illegals here, its becoming a big issue. Economically, we are way better off than Europe for unemployment.

Where are these illegals coming from? To claim it's evidence that America is the greatest country in the world, you'd have to be getting immigrants from the second greatest country in the world (otherwise it would only be evidence that America is marginally better than where they started).

Where are they coming from? Well the majority of illegals are Latino but there are more than a few Asians, middle easterners, europeans etc.
Oh and quite a few British live here although the ones i know of are here legally. If you consider the UK to be second best then we must be first. Actually Canada has traditionally been the second choice of immigrants. Those who couldn't get into the US due to immigration quotas choose Canada as the next best thing. And yeah we do get immigrants from Canada. So yeah we are number one. We are the country the world wants to live in most.

You share a border with Canada and South America - last time I checked there weren't too many Canadians sneaking in so clearly you are meaning South America, probably Mexico

So the fact they leave a poverty ridden hole to come to the US means nothing. Honestly do you even think before you post this type of nonsense?

A very strong indicator that you have absolutely no awareness of any qualitative or quantitative information to back up your points, and are unwilling to create a legitimate argument that could be recognized by anybody capable of thinking to prove your point that the U.S.A. is the best country in the world. One does not prove they are smarter by saying they are smarter

I would suggest you see some of the world. I think a summer overseas would really change you view. It's a really big world, I think you will be surprised at what you find.
Or spend a summer traveling the US. You might see some shocking things. Maybe try Pineridge reservation in South Dakota. The poorest county in the country. unemployment 85%. Many people living with no running water, elect, or gas. Outhouses are not an uncommon sight there.

Thats good ,they say travel broadens the mind.
I find it ironic that you hsve such distrust of immigrants/foreigners since your style is ,like america itself a bit of a melting pot of different cutures.
