C'mon we are infinitely better than where they are coming from and you know it. Thats the reason they want to come here.

Yes that is true but that doesn't make us the best country in the world since there is no one thing to compare with. Yes, living as an illegal immigrant here is probably better than living in extreme poverty in Mexico, or they have no other choice to get money, but that doesn't automatically make us the best.
I am not trying to make an argument that we are not a good country to live in, that would be idiotic, but there is no way we can objectively say we are the best.
