Perhaps because the US does such a superb job of systematically looting future generations and our youth for the benefit of anyone who can get into or is already in the candy store? The US approach represents a complete utter trashing if the principles of Thomas Jefferson, who felt good governments and systems leave a solid future legacy. Instead it's slash, burn, and run, the ultimate "tragedy of the commons". That's the big attraction I'd say.

Jim, America is loved. Americans are loved. Our current govt. is hated with a passion. And the odds of getting randomly killed by our govt. are much lower if you are in the USA than if you are in a defenseless third-world country.

>>> If America is hated so much why are people dying to get here? <<< To become slaves. Seriously, my state receives a very high percentage of new immigrants constantly, and most of them are "workaholics" and do not care beans about learning the English language. They are combining three or four incomes, and renting out illegal basement apartments with no electric meters to pay the ridiculously high mortgages they have taken on, as their constant influx into the north and central eastern part of New Jersey keeps real estate inflated at insane levels.... And this has been going on for over fifteen years with no end in sight.
