There is so much that could be done, from just old fashioned infrastructure (fixing roads and bridges, building trains) to tech infrastructure (broadband) to a Green New Deal (massive investment in green energy and technology). A lot of those jobs are accessible to low skill workers.
We don't do those things because one party either actively campaigns against them as bad (trains) or refuses to pay the taxes needed to do them.

Americans need to start moving abroad, the way Europeans moved here in the early 20th century.

That a negligible number of people leave American, and none who are poor, leave American is kinda a big thing that undermines your vision of vasts suffering. People move the other direction for pretty solid reasons.

Who's nobody? I'd like to let more outsiders in to America.
