Yeah it’s crazy why anyone emigrates from Europe to the US

  it's hard to get high wages in europe compared to america. So it makes sense to work in america for a while, save and invest, and eventually come back to europe to retire or live a more leisurely lifestyle.

    But their lifestyle is so much worse the moment they step foot in America

      This may come as a shock to you, but not everyone has the same lifestyle preferences as you do.

      That sounds like such an ideology-driven answer. Wonder if you’ve actually personally experienced working and living in both places.

  This is pretty ignorant. Assuming your comment is based on a actual experience in both places (and ignoring how heterogeneous "Europe" and "the US" are), the comment is still equivalent to saying "it's crazy that someone has different priorities than me"

  To improve their life? Immigration of qualified workers is a bit different.

    I think my sarcasm is too dry in this thread

    Literally any EU country has a constitution, and follow the EU convention on human rights. Your rights are recognised, protected and that can't be changed without at least a supermajority, usually more. What's the difference?

      I tried to explain but Europeans got extremely butthurt and flagged my comments.

    You'd probably love to learn of the European Convention on Human Rights. These rights go on top of whatever EU member states might have in their national laws. And it has its own independent court (ECHR).
