I wonder how many of those poor immigrants who live in this public housing to serve wealthy Parisians would prefer to live in something like an American suburb if they could get jobs there.
In France, these immigrants woild also have access to public healthcare, meaning they'd get 70-100% back on most medical appointments and reimbursement for prescription medications. There are many other social benefits too. It's also much more likely to be closer to their country of origin than the US, in the event they want and are able to return at some point.
I'm not trying to be rude, but why do you think a poor immigrant would have it better in the US than France? I can't think of a single reason.
> I'd rather be poor in Miami Beach or NYC than the EU. It has much better benefits than Romania.
Sorry I couldn't help it. Comparing an EU member state to the US is akin to comparing a US state to the EU. These are big places and Paris and even France are a very, very small part. Europe has some real, real crappy places that really, really mess up Europe's statistics. Once places like Bosnia and Ukraine get in, the stats will get even worse. I doubt Romanian and Ukrainian social spending is very high. Compare to US states and cities in you're comparing EU states and cities, and comparable ones.
