The fact is people (rich and poor) from other countries fight to come to USA. Must say something. The property rights laws here are among the best in the world. The system is fairly equitable and not subject to mass corruption and confiscation of individual assets.
No, that does not say anything. That is an apples and oranges comparison. Of course the poor wish to come here, because it is all about economic survival.
These immigrants could care less about personal liberty, right-or-wrong, or cultural issues. Most come from nations where there is very little liberty.
I have a friend whose parents, decades ago, moved from India to Laos for economic opportunity. Laos was a despotic communist regime. Freedom can be irrelevant when you are in survival mode.
