Seems to me that from being an immigrant nation the US has become the Western country that is the hardest to immigrate to.

What made you think it is the hardest one? It is not easier to emigrate to UK, Canada or Australia, the systems are just different.

Actually the hardest to legally immigrate to. It is not that difficult to get across the border (and you can properly walk across the Canadian undetected).

Which is a real shame, you have the option of a real boost in the economy if you those who want to work get into the country.

Yes, I'm British and I would love to be able to easily immigrate to the US. I know so many others who would as well - but it requires you to find a US company willing to sponsor you etc which makes it a real hassle
