Recently, James Surowiechki (James Surowiechki) raised a controversy in the "New Yorker" magazine, which caused many Americans to think about what is the different strategy of the United States in handling immigration policies compared with other developed countries in the world?

The answer is simple. Most of the immigrant population in the United States are family members of foreign-born citizens living in the United States. In contrast, in other developed countries, immigration policies focus on bringing in highly skilled workers.

2010 data on immigrant population in the United States: Family members of citizens abroad: 66.3% Skilled workers: 14.2% Refugees: 13.1% Other: 6.4% Data on immigrant population in developed countries around the world:

“Open Borders” means that no visa is required and movement from one country to another is possible. For example, citizens of Germany can move to the UK to work without a visa, as both countries are within the EU system.

According to a spokesman for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, most people move from countries with "open borders" to work in another country, and many Europeans also move to the south to live a retired life.
