I think the problem is that people do want to become a permanent resident, but cannot. "Permanent resident" is a specific immigration term which essentially means "person that has a green card." I know many people that want to make the US their permanent home but are simply not able to get a green card.
- potatolicious 17y agoAgreed. I came from Canada to work in the USA on a temporary visa (the TN if anyone's interested). I like the country, but as of right now I'm tied to my employer and have no freedom of movement - and even if I was on a H-1B, where there's a shot at PR, I would still be chained to my employer for effectively the next decade or so. This is no way to treat skilled labour trying to enter your country.
