The problem is not the "global immigration system". The EU has extremely liberal policies with other EU countries, for example. It's the U.S. immigration system. It sucks balls.

The EU (or at least the Schengen countries) are getting there, but there are plenty of other countries that are problematic as well as the US. I'm British, so the EU is easy (still need a physical passport though), the US isn't too bad for tourism, but was painful to get a work visa for. I live in the Middle East, and love travelling to India which means a mountain of paperwork and a 3-month freeze-out each time I go. I could visit east Africa for a weekend on a whim, but I never do because of the visa lead-times. It strikes me that the best thing some countries could do for development is streamline their visa processes.
