As much as I think the America has lot of things it needs to fix, there is no other country on earth this would be possible. That's just a fact.

I don’t think this the case. If anything the US makes life very hard for even high-skilled work-based immigrants. Many countries have a higher % of foreign born residents than the US (Singapore, Australia, Germany, Canada)

I myself used to work at Google UK and my own team was 100% foreign born engineers from every continent.

I agree. As someone who has lived or worked in Asia, Europe, and the US, I always had the most diverse group of colleagues in the US.
