The net immigration trends strongly suggest you are mistaken.
Things being worse elsewhere doesn't make things good here. That's like saying the back of the Titanic was ok because so many people wanted to go there.

However, it just might suggest a reason to doubt the statement "The direction the US economy is headed in has no merit," with which I was disagreeing. If smart immigrants come here on a net basis (and they do), then maybe people who have a choice are voting with their feet to say that the direction of the United States economy is not as bad as it could be. I note the lack of follow-up from the kind person with whom I was disagreeing, perhaps because he is busy with his real life responsibilities, just as I was for the last three hours.
