There is plenty of palce between the heaven and the hell. The US, e.g., is a flawed democracy, but one doesn't see many Americans running to Europe or Canada (even though some do). | |

People get routinely tortured in Russian prisons. Article 7: protection against discrimination. Gay propaganda is banned. Article 15: No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality. Oleg Sentsov was issued a Russian passport against his will. 18, freedom of religion: Jehova Witnesses are banned. 19, freedom of opinion: people go to prison for expressing opinions. 20, freedom of assembly: rallies get dispersed, participants arrested. | |

It would make USA richer and create jobs, since a huge proportion of immigrants become entrepreneurs; 3. It would make the immigrants themselves richer and give them access to basic human rights... US visa policies never treated all foreigners equally in the first place, e.g. there is a Visa Waiver Program for some countries but not others, and the Jay Treaty gives some people a special advantage based on their race. Anyway, my question is how to achieve this, not whether you approve of it. | |
| Mar 2, 2022 at 13:16 | comment | added | Wag the mainstream media dog | @seed The point is that by now there is not much left to drain: all those who wanted to leave Russia, but couldn't do so previously, have done so in the last three decades, whereas the newly minted degree owners are not more valuable than those coming from elsewhere - there is no reason to give them special advantage. Note also that Universities are exempt from the H1B quotas, and student F-1 visa has rather favorable conditions for further staying in the US. | |
| Mar 2, 2022 at 13:10 | comment | added | seed | I don't think this answers my question. Entrance to USA is not currently free, one needs a visa. An H1B visa takes half a year to get, and there are quotas. An O1 visa can take years to obtain mobile.twitter.com/alexeyguzey/status/1498051043925581826 Many USA companies require permission to work in USA before you can apply for a job. | |
