quality of life for the average American is worse than many places in Western Europe, in Japan, SK, etc.

Yet the number of folks who want to come to the US is unending, including folks from Western Europe, SK and Japan.

Yeah, so what? That's only a contradiction to the preceding statement if all of the following are true:

1) All those people are average where they are coming from.

2) All those peopke are coming to America expecting to end up as average Americans.

3) All those people have an accurate understanding of the economic conditions they are coming from and those experienced by the average American.

Otherwise, it's a complete non-sequitur.
