The US is notably the most immigrant-friendly country in the world*, and has been since 1965. Birthright citizenship is unheard of in most of the world, but it's a constitutional right in America. Even skilled workers have a fair shot in America, but I do personally think it should be easier and more flexible than the H1B system we have today. More immigrants of all kinds are good for this country.

- rejectedandsad 5y agoYou’re correct, I do think Canada is going to continue to be a major competitor in this regard. They do have a lot of our advantages here with a more skills-focused immigration policy.

- Rd6n6 5y agoI know somebody who was highly skilled who spent years trying to get permanent residency in the USA, but gave up, moved to Canada, and got it almost immediately.
- FalconSensei 5y agoI know people who spend a few years working remotely for a US company while 'waiting their turn' to be able to actually go to US. Meanwhile I got invited to apply for a provincial process (Canada) while still living in Brazil, and both processes (provincial nomination + permanent residency) were easy, transparent, and I guess quick?
