You say that like moving to the US is as easy as pie. Emigration to the US is incredibly difficult.

It depends. A friend of mine has been working for Microsoft in Ireland for a few years, and immigration to the US (green card track, two years if employed, I think) for him was practically a formality.

It goes both ways. Emigration _from_ the US to another western country is also incredibly difficult.
