I don't understand why people in the Netherlands are so gung ho about emigrating to the US. All I hear from europeans is how the US is a warmongering nation that has health care only for the rich. I think that's largely true, but then why is there such a big rush to come here to work. Could it be that The Netherlands is not the paradise that it is commonly promoted as?
I'd also like to see a list of nations that Americans with some sort of programming background can emigrate to with no hassle. Nothing special, just the sort of ease of moving in that they expect the US to provide to their people.
- Caligula 15y agoNot a big surprise. There are more opportunities for hi tech startups in the US. Also, health care is not as big an issue for young males.
- sprovoost 15y agoI didn't mean to suggest that Dutch immigration is any better (it's most likely worse). I was speaking in absolute terms, not relative. If you're under 30, take a look at the Australian Work-Holiday visa, that's about as laid-back as it gets.

Have University friends who immigrated to Sweden, Great Britain, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, mathematics or programming, and their immigration hassles were less/faster or comparable to mine (for example no double labor certification like for H1 and GC in the US, and some of them even did 2 immigrations one after another while i was doing one). On the other side nobody of them has made such money like some of my friends here in the US :)
