Yes. The United States.

Despite the whirlwind of media to the contrary, the US is very welcoming to foreigners who follow the laws (that is, don't enter illegally) and make an effort to integrate by learning the language and customs.

Much more than any other country on Earth.

What about Canada?

[zdragnar]

Actually immigrating to Canada is quite a bit harder, from what I've heard.

[sefrost]

Immigrating to Canada was a breeze for decades until the last 2-3 years when they started to reduce immigration numbers in response to citizen concerns.

Have you watched the news in the past couple of years?

[throw-the-towel]

They literally mentioned that they did.

[throwaway27448]

In practice, even the Trump administration is far less hostile to immigration than their rhetoric would betray.

ICE agents are arresting people when they show up for green card interviews.

[rdbl27]

ICE agents arrest _people who committed crimes_ at green card interviews (including "entering the country illegally," which is a crime.)

As I said, the United States is very welcoming to foreigners who are willing to follow the laws.

[throwaway27448]

> people who committed crimes

Or who simply e.g. violate NSPM-7. They aren't exactly operating within the bounds of statute themselves.

Eh it's not as black and white as you make it look. Colleague of mine is in ICE detention, because ICE acted on courts being held up in appeals so they can ignore his ongoing asylum case and deport him back to Russia. He followed the rules, had a work permit and everything, but did not matter in the end.

The green card interview snatching is also messed up, if your existing visa expired, while you were being processed, USCIS was understanding and it did not affect your application. (Processing time is slow, so that can happen). Now it's if your visa ever expires your Freiwild for ICE. They're technically not wrong with this, but they're essentially throwing the book at people getting a visum legally too.

[inigyou]

So you show up to become a legal immigrant and you are arrested for not being a legal immigrant yet?

Remind me how they support legal immigration?

[throwaway27448]

That doesn't contradict what I'm saying. They aren't going to do anything that might depress the economy—it's just a sufficient cruelty to satisfy their base.

[inigyou]

They closed the strait of Hormuz

[throwaway27448]

Sure but that will crash the whole world's economy. Relatively speaking it's not a problem for us.
