I will give you a hint.
It has 0 to do with what economic system is in place.
It has every thing to do with the war torn or corrupt country they are leaving and the closest country will do.

America is hardly the closest country to Honduras that these refugees could go to for asylum.

Mexico has offered asylum, many refused.

How do you explain Bernie Sanders and AOC supporters then?
It’s not a matter of opinion. You’ve made a sweeping generalization with no supporting evidence other than your assertion.

So if socialism is so great, and capitalism so bad.....


Why do thousands of immigrants and refugees want to come to America when Venezuela is right in their neck of the woods?
Because starvation is exactly the same when either fails as badly as Venezuela.

The average citizen has lost over 28 pounds in the past 2 years.

Exactly what part of my question has no basis in reality?

America is a capitalist country.....yes?

Venezuela is a socialist country.... right?

And there are thousands of people walking thousands of miles to get to America instead of Venezuela..... correct?



Are you saying that the Left doesn't demonize capitalism and promote socialism?

Really?
To be honest, those people marching to the USA are being funded by very wealthy democrat supporters who hope to rush them in, give them citizenship and get more democrat votes so they have complete control of this country forever. And then watch the real terror begin.

Socialist countries build walls too. To keep people IN. If America keeps going leftward and irreligious, we'll be building walls, all right What a whole legion of dimwits and young people haven't figured out yet is the leaders who push for socialism don't care a whit about the people; they are in it solely for their own enrichment. The Clintons are fabulously rich and wanted to become MUCH richer. The 0bamas came in poor, went out rich. Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong.....all of them wealthier beyond your wildest dreams. Plundered from the backs of the people they piously claim to care for. Socialism is a LIE, folks. How many countries have to fail before we learn this lesson? But it's being pushed by the media now, which is being paid by worldwide Marxist proponents such as Soros. People are being told to ignore their lying eyes, and not pay attention to the tremendous economy we have in America now. Why anybody would elect Democrats to derail the great Trump economy is beyond me. Wise up, people. Embrace conservatism. See the light.

We have a hybrid of the 2 system's. Greatest country in the world. Social Security and Medicare, public schools, public transportation and other parts of the economy.
