America's immigration system is in desperate need of reform. The green card "diversity" lottery is stupid and outright discriminatory. I've considered emigrating from the US to some EU members, and while it isn't easy for any of these countries, it certainly is nowhere near as difficult as if I were doing the reverse. Will it ever be fixed in my lifetime? I'm 22. I have my doubts.



If America really wanted to reform its immigration system, it would have by now. Half the people in America want much less immigration; they said so loud and clear when they elected Trump. These voters don't want people with masters degrees in STEM, or anyone else really; they think people with masters degrees are going to take their jobs at Walmart.
