  They’re right about 1 and 3, but not 2. Life has gotten much better in a good chunk of the world, that the opportunity loss for not moving to US is getting smaller. You can easily see it by immigration application numbers by country.

    > You can easily see it by immigration application numbers by country. Where are you getting this information? Visa issuance more than doubled between 2020 and 2024. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/AnnualReports/FY2024AnnualReport/Table%20I.pdf https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Annual...

      Visa issuance doubling and having less applications from improving countries can both be true. I think you want issuance by place of birth to make the comparison OP is pointing out. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-statistics/immigrant-visa-statistics/monthly-immigrant-visa-issuances.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/v...

        > I think you want issuance by place of birth to make the comparison OP is pointing out. I’m not seeing a year to year comparison on the page you linked. It’s calculable from the monthly figures, but I’ll wait and see if the GP responds with his own source.
