I don’t see why this would be bad for those countries. They are already colonies, and instead of being another Puerto Rico, you might as well petition to become a proper US state so you get two senators and a handful of congress representatives and federal funding. At least you get some say in US politics.
Europe should obviously do the same too.
No.
It might be better for their bourgeois strata but it would be detrimental to their working classes. The US would subsume these countries the same way West Germany subsumed the GDR by ravaging what's there and investing nothing in return.
Also they all have some public healthcare at least.
