      As someone who immigrated to the US, I'm not sure how one quantifies "far more", and I'm even less sure it's true.

      >The US is far more welcoming to immigrants than any of those places. So the country that brought you "No dogs, no blacks, no Irish" and has the strictest work visa process in the world, then kicks you out the moment you loose your job or ICE needs to fulfill their quota, calls itself "far more welcoming to immigrants"? But yes, I agree to the spirit of your comment that foreigners have an easier time integrating into the US, which happens because unlike European or Asian countries, the US is run less like a homogenous nation of people sharing the same ethnicity, religion, culture and values, and more like an economic zone where everyone, barring the indigenous Indian tribes, is a foreigner and has no obligations of conforming to any social norms or values and is free to pursue individualism and making money, which has the upshot of making the US incredibly wealthy, but also the downside of being more socially divided and unsafe.
