> why move be an alien in US, when you can live in home country and innovate? for example, because president of your (my) country is a dictator.

so you want to move to police state to be under constant surveillance (as a foreigner it means forever, including your relatives), you want to support corrupt war machinery with your taxes that literally feeds of death of hundreds of thousands of innocent all over the world? in the country with highest nr of prisoners per capita, where one mistake (or not even) will ruin your life forever? that ain't american dream, that is american reality. you can try to do better than that

  Huh, what you know about bad government. I'm trying to leave country where 99.99% of all Judge verdicts are "guilty" (it's official statistics - you have 1/1000 chance to remain free if you are in court). I'm trying to leave police state where all phone calls and sms messages are _officially_ tapped and cellular operators have to store records for 3 years. Where government officially wants to decrypt all of your ssl traffic (it's just impossible technically, but they are too stupid to realize it), and all non-encrypted traffic is already being monitored. In Russia, if policeman is going to your direction on the street - you are nervous. If he is knocking to your door - you know there's a big chance of big problems. I can say much more, about feeding wars also, it's just offtopic. But trust me, US reality right now is something we can't even dream about. And I know about US not from movies, it's not so difficult to monitor US-related news.

I'm sure my comment doesn't apply to all countries, especially ones run by a dicatator (since it means zero innovation). If you have trouble immigrating to US, you should checkout Canada or India.
