More About: Immigration

How 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.

The difference is easy to explain. Fort Knox: not at all welcoming, but everybody would love to get in there. Pod people stumbling down the urban street chanting, "Join us! Join us""... extremely welcoming, yet decidedly unappealing.
