More About: ImmigrationHow immigrants see America
Below are two charts from the Economist magazine. The first shows that the USA is the top choice of potential immigrants; the second shows that Iceland is the most welcoming country towards immigrants. Iceland? I taught management classes there and was the darkest person I saw. Apparently, it's easy to be welcoming in the abstract. Or maybe the Economist pulled the findings out of its nose.
