A country picking high-quality immigrants ≠ a country competing for immigrants. The opposite, in fact.
This choosiness is actually a sign that immigrants are competing to enter those countries. The points based system is (in theory) a way to identify the ones we want.
That said, illegals and “refugees” outnumber H1Bs, further reinforcing that Western countries don’t care about global talent.
- freetime2 1y ago> A country picking high-quality immigrants ≠ a country competing for immigrants. The opposite, in fact. It goes both ways. A more streamlined application process and straightforward path to permanent residency is a draw to would-be immigrants who qualify. I won't discuss illegal immigration or asylum here as those exist for different reasons, other than to say that it's a logical fallacy to assume that just because A is bigger than B, a country doesn’t care about B.
