“desperate people” is a single-digit % of the immigrant population in the USA. Millions of people have gotten there thanks to NGO support and while it might be framed as escapism from shitty places in search of a better life, that’s just marketing. As for draining wealth from other countries, their own governments are extractive enough to do serious damage, with or without the banking cartel, and that’s been happening for centuries and will continue until the world is full of benevolent dictators who Bukele their nation. I won’t begrudge people genuinely escaping poverty if they make it to the US but only if they assimilate into American culture. Almost none of them do though, they bring the cultural values that made the place they escaped from shitty, and attempt to recreate that in America. Even Bitcoin can’t fix that.
