Show me the statistics. Right now Europe has a very big influx of immigrants and in the US the percent of Mexican immigrants is zero.

So I'm starting to think this thing about immigrants coming to the US for freedom is just another lie. I think mostly the kings of Saudi and Dubi are coming to America. But everyone else, not so much.
