Aren't already established/rich and successful foreigners more likely to migrate and set up shop here?
45% shouldn't be a surprise if so, you are basically comparing against the cream of the crop from every other country.
- tracer4201 7y agoI care less about what anyone thinks is likely and care more about the actual data. My parents were immigrants. My mother raised kids while my dad had two jobs that paid minimum wage. My annual comp at my day job is > $400K. My older sibling is a medical doctor. My family certainly came from no privilege at all. The only advantage we had was my father getting the opportunity to immigrate to the US. Saying that 45% is all “cream of the crop” is a pathetic level of mental gymnastics.
- RenRav 7y agoYou're probably right, I forgot there's a cap to EB 5 visas. Those immigrants I meant as the "cream of the crop."
