Muslims bring their entire family over to Europe. No problem whatsoever. They will go on dangerous waters, pay traffickers, and walk many miles to get there. Imagine if those were Americans doing it.
I never suggested the muslim migration was an organic movement.
Okay; either way though, you said “imagine Americans doing it”. The situations aren’t the same. Apples to oranges.
That's true. American is not a poor hell hole that people are trying to flee from like the middle east.

This cuts both ways. In terms of actual, practical liberty to simply break loose and go to some other country, I’d argue it’s a much more reckless choice for a White American dad to make, than some Arab third-worlder. They’re all coming here for a reason - they’re basically guaranteed room-and-board on our dime. There’s nowhere for American Dad to take his wife and kids to, where that’s the case.
People may argue we have better ability to amass disposable income to do such a thing as American citizens, but I’m pretty sure tax-brackets cut that right down, unless you’re extremely wealthy.
I’d love to move to, say, the Russian Far East. If I was some single guy, I’d probably up and do it. But it’d be an extremely difficult thing to subject my family to, unless Russia decided to do for us, what the US does for third-worlders.
