    I mean… higher numbers are better yeah, all things equal. America has some serious problems but there’s a reason so many people want to come to the United States. The most patriotic people in America are immigrants which says a lot.

      Why would they come to America if they thought poorly of it? Immigrating to the US is no trivial matter and requires a large commitment of time and effort. Of course immigrants think highly of the US. Whether or not their perception of America is based in reality is another matter entirely.

        Well once they start living here I would say their perception is more valid than pretty much anyone else’s. I get that it’s a subset of people who are predisposed to like the U.S. but considering how overwhelmingly positive that feedback is, plus the sheer number of immigrants who want to come to the US, that means something.
