I don't think it is. I would prefer to live in the U.S. because my family lives here, but it has been tremendously difficult for me to get here, and has taken many years. Similarly, it's quite hard to just move to Germany or Sweden if you have no connection to those countries.
- harryh 13y agoConsidering that it's generally harder (legally speaking) to migrate to a rich country than to a poor country only strengthens my point.
- thirsteh 13y agoNo it doesn't. And it's quite laughable that you seem to be calling Germany and Sweden poor countries.
- harryh 13y agoI wasn't calling Sweden or Germany poor. That would quite obviously be a silly thing to say. The US, Sweden & Germany are all pretty rich and they all fairly restrictive in terms of how difficult it is to legally migrate to them. I thought that was what you means when you said "it has been tremendously difficult for me to get here" and "it's quite hard to just move to Germany or Sweden if you have no connection to those countries."
