Honestly name a single country that’s better than the US that takes in immigrants from totally normal countries without a specific degree or sponson from a company. You’re already living in the best country just not at a good time. Open your eyes.
“The best country” my ass. It’s pretty good if you’re a white dude but not better than Canada or New Zealand or Sweden (not exhaustive). And in many ways it’s trending in the wrong direction.
Those are your only qualifications? And you’re not worried about it being an obvious Russian puppet state with openly rigged elections? Or that they’ve been unwelcome in the Council of Europe for like thirty years because of the unabashed authoritarianism and human rights abuses?
How is that different from here? We have literal concentration camps and brownshirts in the streets. We’re blowing up fishing boats and school children. At least they don’t have a measles pandemic and kids being shot up in school.
As I said, in many ways we’re trending in the wrong direction. But we aren’t at “international organizations show election results are fabricated by the ruling party” levels of corruption yet and the GOP isn’t confident that they can get away with imprisoning their political rivals. They’re still doing it through veiled ways, like poking holes in Ilhan Omar’s citizen status.
Also, you’re really hung up on civilian gun violence but they are actively involved with a war on their border that makes them susceptible to military gun violence.
I agree on the sponsorship part. Unless you’re willing to take a hit on your standard of living, immigration within STEM or an information economy field requires moving somewhere that will employ you first. It’s not impossible, but I imagine there’s quite a lot of competition these days.
Unless you’re willing to take a hit on your standard of living,
I would argue that the “hit on your standard of living” is more perceived than real (e.g. considering an urban apartment lifestyle “lesser” than a suburban single-family house one even though it’s actually better). However, I’d agree that immigrating is just flat-out difficult even without considering that aspect of it.

Or all of Europe
Belarus would not be an improvement.
Bullshit. They have healthcare, mandatory 24 days vacation, and stricter gun laws.

If you ask the daily heil, apparently the UK does and gives them a free house.
Hey, the US has been doing that for years too! Love seeing the same playbook in different accents.
