Why do poor countries need food handouts from rich countries? Surely they could compost food scraps and grow their own food. Why is the only answer to achieving success immigrating to a rich country? Why not stay in your own country and improve it? Really, what's the difference tilling the fields in your own country, with people who look and talk like you, versus flipping burgers or mowing the lawn and being treated like garbage by the resident population that doesn't want you there?

It just seems like mass immigration really is just the modern equivalent of slavery, in disguise. Governments and corporations make deals for tens of millions of dollars, and get the workers a ticket, or work visa which they can overstay, or help the cartels and other criminal organizations bring them here. Immigrants don't have a SSN, so they can be paid $2 per hour, and the average citizen can't compete at most unskilled labor jobs. And $2 per hour here is a lot more when they send what they can afford to their families back home via international banking systems designed specifically for this purpose.

Don't hate the immigrants, they're just trying to eat and not have themselves and their families be battered every day by the local cartels, gangs, and militias in poor countries that rich countries fund, in order to make it so unbearable to live in the poor countries, that people usually decide to hop in the smuggling van.

Isolationism isn't the answer either. Look what's happened to smaller countries that remained isolated, in history. They were overtaken by larger empires, forced to work, pay taxes, or at least trade. If you were an emperor, wrangling millions, or maybe even billions of people, the way you get things done is very different than the small-scale castle, walls, and moat, and tell outsiders to "Get thee gone."

I'm afraid that things aren't as simple as the White ethnostate utopia heaven that is peddled here by Feds and rednecks as the answer to all our problems.

Short answer is they don't. Most poor countries are extremely poor due to corruption. Or the inhabitants are to stupid to stop killing each other long enough to organize agriculture. Or build anything of value. I recommend watching The Empire of Dust. It is free on youtube. The Chinese boss in the film lays out exactly why the people in the are poor.

(typo) Furthermore the U.S has been giving aid to other countries for decades now with the only result being more corruption. One tribe or class of people will take the aid, whether it be food, medicine, or money, and use this to exert or extort more control in a cruel way over the other tribes. This ultimately leads to more violence. Hence why nothing can be built in these regions.

American farmers are pretty skilled when it comes to row crops.

Sometimes it is for control. In Haiti, under the Clinton's, legislation was engineered which subsidized trade in an effort to stop Haitian farmers from growing rice in the higher elevations to reduce runoff soil erosion with a promise of manufacturing industry being provided instead. Many of the farmers could not make a living because they could not compete with the cheep subsidized grains coming from the U.S.
The U.S. farmers did well because of subsidies but the Haitian farmers went out of business, most of them building on the hillsides. When the earthquake hit, it devastated the cheaply built homes that were built on the hillside of the island from the people who moved to the coastal areas for the manufacturing. Bill even regretted it after the fact. He referred to the decision as making a deal with the devil. Now Haitian nationalism has increased led by Barbecue or whatever his name is and Soro's is trying crack down on it. This is just one brief example and kind of a qrd so it is probably more nuanced than this description.

So their populations can soar beyond their natural means. Then (((someone))) can import them into your country.

Good thing we aren't a small country and have plenty of white people to actually maintain a functioning 1st world society.

You make a very valid point.
