You can’t start your topic broad “every American” and then use the much less broad amount of immigrants to “prove” your point.
Because “every American” means I can’t bring up the non-zero amount of Americans that do emigrate elsewhere.
Your entire argument is in bad faith.
Seemed like a tongue-in-cheek quip to demonstrate that there are a lot more folks in the world who are trying to come to the U.S. than the opposite, which as far as I know is pretty true.
In my experience of talking to said Americans, that many can't is largely a case of restrictive immigration policies in most places Americans would like to move to.
So usually America has lower than average citizens wanting to emigrate. Trump made Trump haters want to leave, bringing it up to global averages.
That’s a significant jump, but being globally average does not fit the narrative you’re trying to portray.
