I am not sure if you are responding with actual information or just anecdata. There are hundreds of thousands of students who actually want to work in the US but are unable to (and are sent back) because of H1B Visa lotteries and archaic green card processes.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoI'm not saying the US immigration system is perfect but there were apparently 855,000 new naturalized citizens in 2021. Somebody is figuring it out. Also- the US doesn't owe everybody a citizenship.
- thisoneworks 4y agoMajority of them are family based as opposed to employment based, so your point is invalid
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoHow much of a majority?
- amf12 4y agoRoughly 14% of the naturalized citizens were in the employment category. https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/naturalization-statistics https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/naturaliza...
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoSo 119,700? That's a lot. Does that count naturalized citizens that came for employment but brought their family?
- fshr 4y agoNo, relatively speaking, it's not a lot. Yeah, it's a big number in a vacuum, but comparatively it's dwarfed by other countries we should want to compete with.
- aidenn0 4y agoThere's over a million foreigners in school. I had a friend with a CS degree ask if I would marry her because she didn't want to go back to China and couldn't get an H1B.
- amf12 4y ago119,700 isn't a lot in the context of overall immigration and the number of immigrants who come here to study and for employment. The number also includes the immediate family of the recipient (spouse + children), which would be about 2/3 or 1/2 of the 119,700.
- acchow 4y agoRight, but this number is very low compared to Canada's 250k, considering the USA has 10x the population of Canada 167k for Australia (US has almost 13x the population of Australia)
