Judging by immigration numbers, the US.
- lmm 5y agoGermany has a higher proportion of immigrants than the US, so how do you figure that?
- tomschlick 5y agoProportions don't matter in this case. Individuals immigrating each year and the waitlist to do so does. Otherwise you're comparing admission policies instead of the will to live in that place.
- lmm 5y agoComparing absolute numbers is surely meaningless - if the US was arbitrarily split in half, there would be half as many immigrants to each half, but that wouldn't mean the US was suddenly half as attractive to immigrate to.
- zepto 5y agoOnly counting new immigrants over a very short recent period.
