If you look at it from "most resourceful" it's fairly easy and as far as I remember to have read also how it's normally seen.

I.e. the US get 80% of the most resourceful immigrants while ex Europe get 80% of the least resourceful.

Will see if I can dig up the report.

Which doesn't mean immigration policies have anything to do with that.

That depends on your criteria.

In Europe once you are allowed in you get access to more or less the whole European welfare system where as in the US you have to pay for everything yourself more or less.
