  • They could also have phrased that as "Ability to move Permanently to U.S. for those who want to is at New Low"

  • Not just that but the people who change their opinion the most are generally those with excellent education and job opportunities elsewhere.

  • Gallup does this survey regularly, and I think perhaps the most interesting thing on the chart is how few people in south and east asia (around 10%) want to leave even if they had the opportunity to do so. I think that says something about the psychology of people who do leave their countries.

  • I'm trying to get out of the US but every other country is also having their own anti-immigration moment right now.

  • Isn't that what the US wants? I mean, at least this ICE stuff happened doesn't seem very inviting.

  • Yeah I would never ever move there. I had an offer just before Corona but naaah. The only reason I applied is that they advertised it as a local job at first.

    While this administration is in place I don't even want to visit, even for work purposes I refuse. Especially the toxic manosphere culture at the moment.

    I've lived in 4 countries but the US is not one that appeals to me. They pay the most but cost of living is also huge and besides that money isn't the most important to me. I'm making about 60% of what I would make in the same role in my home country. But that's ok because I enjoy living here a lot more.

    What matters to me is quality of life, and a good social welfare system so I don't have to worry.

  • The only proven method of stopping immigration to your country: make your country such a shit hole nobody wants to move to it.

  • The sub-headline adds important context:

    > U.S. still top destination as desire to migrate falls worldwide

    So the US is still the top destination by a wide margin. Part of the decline is attributable to a global drop in desire to migrate at all.

    Recent politics is undoubtedly part of it, but if you assumed the US had fallen behind other countries you should probably read the article.
