Is the immigration system broken?
Or are there just billions of Indian and Asian people?
- j7ake 3y agoThere are 750 million Europeans , and maybe 4.5 billion Asians (6 times more in Asia than Europe). But the wait and difficulty is much more than 6 times if you’re Asian versus if you’re European.
- tristor 3y agoDo you think that might have to do with relative demand, because most Asians would prefer to emigrate elsewhere, and most Europeans would not? If you combine with that the relative population differences, it creates a striking demand curve.
- toast0 3y agoRelative demand is a factor. But a larger factor is that many of the immigration categories that are numerically limited have the same limit for all countries, and India and China have a lot larger population than any of the many countries in Europe.
- paxys 3y agoNow run the same numbers but looking at just visa applications instead of the entire population of these regions.
- hasty_pudding 3y agoimmigration should be on a country by country basis, not on a population basis. so if your country has tons of people (for whatever reason), that's kind of your country's fault and not the immigration systems fault. while there are benefits to a culture of having 12 kids theres also negatives. Europeans seem to have moderate family sizes for some reason. why is that?

- AlexeyBelov 3y agoNo, you know why you were downvoted, a suspiciosly fresh account. What happened to the previous account I wonder?
