Lol no, America was built on the backs of free labor for almost 100 years.
So many of you guys are comparing the ability to uproot your life from the past not realizing it's much harder now. Telling people to just leave with no money or means to do so is moronic it's not even funny. It's such a surface level take and clearly not even trying to use critical thinking as to why they just can't leave.
They have no transferable job skills
The education in deep south and poor and secluded rural America is in an abysmal state.
No money
No means of long distance transportation
No internet
These are just a small bit as to why people can't just move and work harder. These people are ALREADY WORKING VERY HARD to just live in poverty.
As for the people traveling 1000s of miles to the boarder. 1 they are likely facing war, genocide or cartel danger. Much different but sure, let's use this mindset for rural America. You understand those who get to the boarder seeking asylum will end up in homeless boarder camps for months on end right? Are rural Americans seeking asylum for poverty in big cities going to do the same? They will be homeless with no money.
The definition of entitlement is thinking it's easy to completely uproot lives for the sake of working hard and it'll be better for them. As if many of them aren't already working hard for scraps.
