If you walked into a household in a poor country and just offered them zero-friction citizenship to the US/UK/CA/Europe for their whole family, with the promise of a decent job etc. - no strings attached ... the number would be extremely high.

There is a difference between “people who want to move to the US” and “people who want to move to another richer country”.

I’ve asked people on HN why don’t they move from thier country in the EU with less opportunity to a country with more opportunity and they cited extended family and cultural differences as a reason.

Heck, it’s hard to get people in the US to move to different cities and states for the same reasons.

It's not like there are large camps of illegal migrants in France (an EU member) trying to smuggle themselves into the UK (an EU member for the moment).
