Thanks for the effort you put in this response.
Is it a good summary when I say that Belgium in population and area can be compared with a metropolitan area of any major city in the USA? And best should be compared as such?
I’m very much surprised with the migration figures being as high as you mention.
Europe is surrounded with countries in war in Eastern-Europe, Middle-East and Africa. And many of our migrants are refugees.
All the migration towards USA is mainly from south of the USA, correct? There’s no war going on over there, so do these migrants also poor living conditions and are mostly fortune seekers?
Or are their lives in danger from the government in these countries?
People love to bring up our vast expanses of land in these infrastructure comparisons, but that wasn’t an insurmountable problem when we wanted transcontinental railroad, telegraph, telephone, etc…

It’s worth noting that those were all massive handouts to private corporations. Some of the beneficiaries of those handouts are still on top of their industries today.
