Perhaps you are the kind of person who thinks slavery is better than liberty as long as your masters look after you well enough. I on the other hand abhor slavery.
You have to believe that being a free person anywhere else than US is worse than being a slave in US for this to make sense. And I'm not a slave, and not in US, and I would much rather be anywhere else than in US, so not sure what I'm missing.

In USA? A white supremacist and systemically racist hellhole where cops hunt people of color like dogs on the street and put the ones they don't kill into private slave prisons? How is it better than just not having that?
I would not even visit USA if someone paid me, and I feel sorry for the people who have to live there every day of their lives and if I had more means I would do more to help the people who live in the US find other options. Surely it is some crime against humanity to make people live in a place like that.
