Many people who don't win the H-b lottery, or who do win the H1-b lottery but get turned down for an H1-b for other reasons, end up heading to Canada. Canada has a simple points-based residency system and it is very easy to get enough points if you have a bachelor degree and speak english fluently (already gets you a TON of points).
you realize there are many many affluent immigrants who do not participate in the labor market but pay taxes, invest, and otherwise provide liquidity for the locals holding real estate portfolios?
