#23 of them were not born in the United States and one was born to an immigrant escaping Yugoslavia. A good reminder that the country attracts a lot of people because its great and the people in turn continue to contribute towards its greatness.

It's more than the climate, it's the culture and ecosystem of innovation and creative expression

The US is far more welcoming to immigrants than any of those places.

As someone who immigrated to the US, I'm not sure how one quantifies "far more", and I'm even less sure it's true.

So the country that brought you "No dogs, no blacks, no Irish" and has the strictest work visa process in the world, then kicks you out the moment you loose your job or ICE needs to fulfill their quota, calls itself "far more welcoming to immigrants"?
But yes, I agree to the spirit of your comment that foreigners have an easier time integrating into the US, which happens because unlike European or Asian countries, the US is run less like a homogenous nation of people sharing the same ethnicity, religion, culture and values, and more like an economic zone where everyone, barring the indigenous Indian tribes, is a foreigner and has no obligations of conforming to any social norms or values and is free to pursue individualism and making money, which has the upshot of making the US incredibly wealthy, but also the downside of being more socially divided and unsafe.
