America has just completely failed at replicating our system of human rights in other countries. Americans don't even know that was/is the correct goal. Instead our government does everything it can to destabilize other countries, thereby making sure people want to leave those places. We know our morals work and certain other morals definitely don't work : you fix the extreme immigration problem by enforcing property rights in countries where people have no such rights. Instead of toppling governments and leaving a mess, we should park a carrier group nearby and send experts to instruct them on how to make courts be less corrupt, with an "or else" implied but not said.
Now... Since we've failed at doing that, our own courts are corrupt, our own rights at diminished, and we're making a pitiful last stand, and the very concept of human rights will fall along with us.

There's no better illustration that the Government is not the people.
