As an interested visitor of this sub, I have a serious question.

I want to start by saying, I am not against the activities in this sub, in fact after only recently learning about it I am trying to understand the sentiment a bit better. For background, I am an immigrant in this country and absolutely love it. I am a believer that it is the best country in the world. However, I understand it may not the be the case for everyone.

Once again, genuinely curious and hope it is treated as such. Thank you

Edit after reading responses: So based on people's responses, I'm getting the sense that it is not easy to move to these countries as they have strict immigration laws compared to the US, and that is why many people come here vs. the other way.

Thank you all!
