Why are migrants so desperate to come here?

    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.
