The United States has the highest Immigration rate in the world... aka the most desirable place to live in the world.
- NikolaNovak 5y agoI feel that statement gets tricky. Applicants vs approved, per population or absolute, documented vs undocumented, etc. I imagine that a very large country with more liberal immigration policy will by default have more absolute immigrants than a small country with closed door policy - regardless of which one is more desirable to live. Note further: "In 2019, with 11 percent of the United States’ population, Canada receives 32 percent of the number of legal immigrants that of the United States receives." https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-multi-year-immigration-plan-2018-2021.html#gs.42ssrh https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-multi-year-immigration-pla... or finally Wikipedia, where USA isn't in the top 20 per-population immigration rate, no matter the source you check: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_migration_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_migra... Conclusion - that statement holds minimum to no liquid water
- mbrodersen 5y agoThose two statements are not necessarily correlated. The worse your neighbour countries are, the more eager people are to immigrate to any nearby country that is less bad. The US is definitely more desirable than Mexico. But that doesn’t prove that the US is more decidable than other non-developing countries. I was offered a green card and 6 digit salary to move to the US. I chose to move to Australia instead. That was a great move.
