Perhaps we should be embracing the people who have come to our borders seeking a better life.
According to the 2023 World Happiness Report Co-authored by Lara Aknin and John Helliwell, Luxembourg made the top 10 and 58.2% of its residents were born outside the country. They are a nation of immigrants…like us only happier. The United States did not make the top 10 as all countries were judged by six key factors — social support, income, health, freedom, generosity, and absence of corruption. We were probably doing fine until we hit that bothersome “absence of corruption” stuff.
I’ll bet we were in the bottom 10 in that category.
