Well. We don't dream of America because we cannot even read its blocked content and paywalls, so we are not too exposed to propaganda anymore.
Although, if you ask me, apart from its chaotic state, attachment to unhealthy religions, political corruption, and overcomplicated health care situation, fighting with visas is something we don't feel the need.
I lived in San Francisco as a software engineer for many years, and I lived the American dream, but it is not a place to live long term. I was tired of living as a second class citizen, kind of an indentured servant, tied to a Visa.
The health care situation is disgraceful and when I had my first couple of scares with the health care system, I packed my things and came back home.
Most of the people that came with me are back to the EU. From my friends' perspective, it is not really the greatest country on earth tbh, and people should travel a bit more to explore the world and compare it against other countries.
