Who is still choosing to move to the US for work or study in this climate? The benefits do not outweigh the negatives in any industry.

Pay in some professions is still way better than in their home countries.

Almost all my friends in Canada want to move here. 5 times more Canadians move to the US than Americans move to Canada. That's a damning statistic given that Canada's population is 10% of the US population - so on a per capita basis, it's a ratio of 50x.

I don't get it, as an American living happily in Scandinavia, but a lot of my euro tech coworkers idolize the US for the income potential and "freedoms".

They can't ever articulate the freedoms, I think we just have good propaganda, but the desire is certainly there.

A lot of immigrants have green cards and never go for citizenship for various reasons (e.g. their home country doesn't allow dual citizenship).
