I don't know if that is completely fair. Lots of bad places have bad governments, but certainly, some nations like Haiti and Bangladesh seem to be the pissing grounds of Mother Nature.The thing is, even if we were to agree a particular country is a ‘shithole’, how is that in any way the individuals fault? It is very likely the state of that country is due to factors such as economic exploitation, corruption, and religious/political extremism. Many of the people who are against those people immigrating are the same ones supporting those same factors here, thus they are the ones helping to turn this into a third world country
The biggest factor in making a country a shithole is a fucked-up government.
you pulled that out of your ass. I'll do the same thing. the biggest factor in making a country a shithole are catastrophic events that a single, small govt cannot handle such as aggressive war by a bigger nation, major earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear fallout, etc.
Anyone mention Puerto Rico?
