    To be fair, they are pretty bad, unless you do like America and only allow people with certain skills and intelligence. Allowing immigrants from war torn countries is very nice, but ultimately brings that war to the country itself.

          No, it’s because there’s a lottery system that has been backlogged for decades. US immigration is such a bad process that skilled people go to Canada instead because the government there actually values those people.
