#1 Somebody ought to explain to little shits that - if they weren't Americans - they'd had to work for a living.

#2 Show me another country where people risk life and liberty to get into, at the count of over 30 million.

#3 Fucking morons. They have no idea of what it is like to be oppressed, poor and discriminated against. They do not have to deal with moral policing, victim blaming, sexual harassment based on the dress they're wearing every single day. Women in other countries, especially Asian and African countries have to deal unimaginable things where these girls would probably kill themselves out of frustration. They do not have to fight for every single thing just to survive.

America doesn't has a race issue, or a gender issue, or a money issue, or a weak political set-up; it has a stupidity issue. It's really uncomfortable and shocking to see well-fed kids, coming from the richest country on earth to complain how bad their lives have been surrounded by luxuries. Also it's hard to believe that they would love to migrate to some poor nation to help people. Yagh! These wimps will never survive anywhere except America.

#4 Are the Peace Corps still around? If so, someone should go around with a sign up sheet to go to some other countries. I wonder how many would actually go?

This Washington talibanova
was asked if she'd like to come over
to the beautiful kingdom Moldova.

"I hate it here! My mom and pop?
They're so well fed they're sickly.
And ugh! Patriots... sentiment all treacly!"

Now she lounges day and night
and presents a pale sight,
when she's not being sucked by her lovah.

#6 Look at it this way. These are the same people who get all bent out of shape if someone uses the wrong pronouns. They add (he/she/it/ImSoStupidIDon'tKnow) to their signatures.
Even to the point of expulsion from school, Jail time, being Cancelled. For a misapplied pronoun.

#7 unimaginable things where these girls would probably kill themselves out of frustration.

Oh no. They are being fashionably whiny, just as they were taught. In your world, Wren, almost all of them would be equally silent and uncomplaining, just as they were taught.
