The reason for this is to protect the social safety net which is non existent in the US. It's also harder than you think to get a visa for the US so it's pretty much attracting unofficial undesirables.
- sandworm101 7y agoVisas are dead simple to get for the US. Some of them are even allocated by lottery. Other countries (canada) have points-based systems, standards, that applicants have to make. The US prefers a rights-based approach, a combination of family links and naturalization based on the leveraging of "temporary" permits into permanent residence permission.
