Fine, I'll bite.

Mr Bright said:

"Americans have the highest standard of living in the world. That's why the poor from everywhere are trying to get into the US. Do you watch the news about all those migrants pouring over the border"

and you said:

"it just makes Walter's well thought, rational arguments even stronger. reply"

His reply is neither well thought[out], rational or strong whatsoever. His reiteration of Americans having the highest global standard of living does NOTHING to address any of the issues I raised with this statement in my previous comment, he literally just repeat his assertion.

Which is also untrue, SOME Americans have the highest living standards, many many many times more do NOT.

You will see neither my comment never mentions crime whatsoever. Mr Bright inserts the topic of crime, drug addiction, criminal enforcement and theft as though criminals and addicts are the only Americans who live in poverty and the only metric for establishing living standards is crime. This is clearly illogical and irrational.

Many of the people suffering at the hands of US capitalism simply got cancer, were in a car accident, were born with disability, got hurt at work, too old to work but no retirement fund, etc.

Frankly, I dont care about "helping my position" or if the language I use upsets you! Anyone with the faintest whiff of logical integrity can clearly see that Walther Not-So Bright is espousing bullshit that he believes, not that has any rational basis.

You're right next to him at the bottom of the intellectual barrel.

Thank you! I feel quite honored to be considered next to Walter Bright.

And once again, neither you nor Wally addressed a single one of the issues.

Likely because you know you're wrong and dumb.
