Crossing the border illegally (for now) is a civil misdemeanor and seeking asylum is legal under US and international law.

> Does the country they are fleeing have no culpability?

The US definitely has some culpability for making other places harder to live in.

> Why are they leaving?

They're not doing it just for funsies.

You didn’t answer my question. :)

I don't understand your question TBH. What would these countries do?

Oh. Maybe make a country people want to live in instead of flee. I didn't realize it came across as a riddle.

		Yeah and I'm saying you're doing a bit of victim blaming. For one the US fucked up those countries and their economies making it desirable to flee to the US. Maybe the US should stop meddling and we'd have fewer people coming here.
