Can someone please explain why anyone would hold a loyalty to a nation that so disrespected them, that it encouraged them to flee?

Because a corrupt government isn't the people that make up the nation.

Do you feel disrespected by the current administration? If so, I'm sure you still love your country. You can hate the conditions and love the people, the land and the culture.

I think that’s reasoned.

I will say it really rubs me the wrong way to see many of these folks trash our nation grabbing every free handout they can get, then talk about what a great nation they actually love.
