As an African living in Africa, growing up, America was the country where dreams came true. We'd see this watching TV shows like The Cosbys, Different Strokes, The Jeffersons, etc. Most TV shows were American and we consumed snd idolised the US from that. With time other countries improved in their economies and infrastructure. During the last 10 years, the lustre and shine of the US has declined, but was one of top countries to emigrate to, until 2024. I have a lot of family who are now US citizens and they love it and have thrived.
The current admin has not helped with the repeal of certain laws, human rights issues, treatment of women and non-white people, but is not at the level of Afghanistan, certain Asian, North and East African countries. Is the US top of the list to visit as a tourist? At this particular moment, I dont think so, but it's only because of the current admin issues.
