As American living abroad, I assure you that the US has an almost absurdly burdensome immigration system.

As someone whoo immigrated to the US, most of the difficulty is due to demand - i.e. H1B lottery, visa country caps, etc. Otherwise it's not that different than other countries.

I studied mathematics. It wasn't hard to get there at all. The only problem was there were seventeen applicants for every single one that got in, otherwise it wasn't more difficult than if I wanted to get admitted to geology.
