Why is that a given. How is it moral that someone was born x instead of y mean he has to live in a land of poverty and misery. Non citizens have

Because there is something called sovereignty.

You're just saying something but you're not actually thinking about it. The implications are super terrible and cruel if you stop to think.

You're correct that it is cruel. That doesn't make it less true. It is up to the citizens of a country to fix their own problems. There is no right to any help from any where.

Do you actually think the US constitution defines morality?

No, because everyone's morality is different.

I'm asking what should be.

That not a single penny leaves the U.S. for aid of any non-US citizen until ALL U.S. citizens live extremely comfortably.

Do you think people born in Haiti should be forced to stay in Haiti?

They nave no right to be anywhere else.

If so why, what makes someone born in the US more important than someone in Haiti?

Once again, because of something called sovereignty.

Letting people walk and work and live where they want isn't charity

Paying any dollars for assistance of any kind toward a non-citizen is charity.

not letting people do that is cruelty.

No, it's protecting one's own interests.

Question. Do you let homeless people live in your home? Do you pay for their food? Do you cloth them? Do you provide healthcare for them out of your own pocket? If not, then by your standards you are cruel.

citizens are not better human beings than non-citizens, why is this something that should be the case?

Within any country citizens of that country have more rights than non-citizens. Non-citizens are second class and have no right to be in that country. No U.S. citizen has rights to anything outside of the U.S.

Also, once again, because of something called sovereignty.

Why do you think people live well in most of the modern western world? It's because citizens of those countries worked together to create an environment to do so. Nothing is stopping individuals of other countries from doing that. All previously came from similar circumstances at different points in history.
