Great news! Maybe now people will quit wanting to come here, legally or not.

Wait, that will not happen, people will still risk everything, including their life, to get here.

So, your response is to call me scum??

The bolding and the naughty / angry emoticons really hurt, and drove the point home by the way...

That means that you've excluded yourself from the debate, as you have no reasoned answer, and have thus lost the debate.

Congratulations.

But to put more nails in your ridiculous political coffin:

First, we must ignore that by "everyone", you mean to say only internationalist liberals. That's clear. No nationalists think that it matters what international liberals think of them.

Do American liberals care what nationalists from France or the Netherlands think of them? No? What are you, scum??

See how that works, genius?

I can smell the smoke coming from the rusted and outdated gears in your head from here.

In appealing to internationalists in regard to what should be done in America's interests, you've just pitted yourself against the concept of America. In essence, you calling actual Americans scum.

Good luck with that tack.

However, in analyzing what the world scum implies in social discourse, the evidence points to the opposite direction of your assertion.

Internationalists tend to be advocates of decreasing moral order, not increasing moral order. They wish to break down moral norms so that everyone can be accommodated, rather than excluded when they don't meet those norms. Witness any number of Salon and other liberal rag articles promoting the normalization of pedophilia, gay marriage, transgenderism, the elimination of gender identity as a whole, attacks on marriage and the nuclear family, attacks on Christian norms, etc.

By definition of the decrease in moral order that comes with liberal internationalist ideology, it is strictly you who are the scum.

Sorry, "everyone" generally isn't an-board with internationalist communist mind-frames who promote every source of degeneracy. You are in a shrinking boat of ideology, whether you realize it or not. We know that importing as many welfare queens as possible is your only hope in political salvation, but you didn't do it fast enough and now its being reversed. There is no putting the genie back in the bottle.

Again, repeat after me:

"I'm smarter, better, and more educated..."

As the world collectively retches and successfully vomits up your basket of ideologies.

No it doesn't. Most of the world is full of uneducated sheep who are nothing more than useful idiots and fall for whatever propaganda that their governments put out. Including most Americans.

I have friends and relatives that live in Europe and they think that Trump is a buffoon but their only source of opinion is the corrupt news media. They have never lived in America and have no real sense of what we are about but they sure have their opinions.

As horrible as they think we are I would still much rather live here than anywhere else be it with Trump, or even Hillary running the show because guess what the sun will still come up tomorrow.
The European MSM merely parrots exactly what our own media claims. In many cases amplifying that message and adding the globalist seal of approval to it all.

Obama was the exception with the Euro MSM, they feted him at every available chance. For everything else American, there is a mocking disdain and condescension.

America has been falling in the polls of best places to live for many years. I believe the significant drop started during Bush 43.

Couple of reasons off the top of my head:

Infant mortality rate , for all the coin we have and medical ability, it is shockingly high for a first world nation.

Our diversity, while helping the USA when the immigrants are educated, motivated and desirous of improving their lives,often becomes the sad fact that many who come here do not contribute enough to carry their own weight in this country. This drags us down. We would be better off, for example,if visa holders came into the US to work for a time, and the returned to their country with their new found skill-set. Start companies and contribute to the improvement of their native country..help raise the living standards and quality of life for their fellow countrymen. This is how one improves the lot in life of their brethren.

The reputation of going around the world, starting military action without just cause. Bush 43 and the Iraq war and the WMD story (face it, the average Master degree chemist can create WMD if they deal with such ingredients) made our government officials look like war hawks who were only interested in pleasing those who they are beholden to, via looking for any reason to start a war to fill the coffers of those who have the "real power" , the globalists, who use the US military for their own means.

The quality of our public education and the high cost of universities....enough said.

We have the reputation of being desirous of controlling what is going on in other nation states, while not really cleaning up our own problems and weaknesses.

It is what it is....

It counts for very little in my eyes.
