It likely wouldn't be meaningfully different, and we don't set immigration policy in the US to help countries abroad.

Or would you rather condemn me to life in a corrupt, dangerous country even though I have everything it takes to build great things and make the lives of other humans better?

That moral argument against immigration, especially coming from an American, is DOA.

And from the perspective of the home countries, you're basically telling whoever happened to be born in a shithole that their only choice is to fix it themselves.
