If America suddenly opened its borders to anyone wishing to get there, most of the third world countries would suddenly become ....humanless. Even little Cyprus is receiving hundreds of economic migrants each day. The East is massive but it doesn't want any. Besides how many risk their lives to get to Saudi Arabia ? The WEST IS THE KING.

Very shortsighted. The answer is very simple. Because the west thrives on the expense of poverty of other nations all over the planet. Did you know there are beggars in Saudi Arabia? It's all about control of resources and whole nations to the point of forcing prices down for the benefit of the West. Imagine today the price of petrol (non renewable) in the US is about the same as the price of milk (renewable).
You wouldn't like to live in such nations of course, but at the same time you should be embarrassed living in the US making say $50 an hour for doing nothing.
The war in Ukraine is also partly about controlling resources.
