I like a lot of things about the USA, but I'm not sure it's the best destination for a Turkish person.
The first reason is practicality. As Trump cracks down on H1B visas, immigrating will become even more difficult than it currently is.
The second reason is safety. Of course NYC/SF/LA are fine... But elsewhere in the country there is a rising tide of hate against Middle Easterns. In February, two Indian engineers working at Garmin were murdered in a Kansas bar [1] because a man mistook them for Iranians.
