Good idea! More nails and maybe even a weld bead to be sure that vile monster never escapes
So, I collected data from the DHS
Persons Obtaining Lawful Permanent Resident Status by Region and Country of Birth: Fiscal Years 2015 to 2017 dhs.gov/immigration-statist … 017/table3
And
Net migration: the total number of immigrants less the annual number of emigrants data.worldbank.org/indicator/SM … desc=false
The same list of countries I presented before arranged according to the World Bank Migration stat as a percent of population, in order of most-negative migration to most-positive migration is as follows:
Syria
Latvia
Lebanon
Sri Lanka
Kyrgyzstan
Bangladesh
Albania
Georgia
Paraguay

Well, well, everyone wants to go to Singapore
Once again this illustrates my point: people are fleeing the countries with the least government spending and seeking refuge in countries with the most government spending.
Exceptions:
Countries with more than 60% private consumption as a % of gdp that also have positive migration are: US, UK, Cyprus, Italy, Hong Kong, Chile, Greece, Argentina, Brazil
Countries with less than 60% private consumption as a % of gdp that also have negative migration are: Morocco, Mongolia, Iran, Indonesia, India, Algeria, China
Otherwise the correlation holds: the countries with negative migration have less government spending than countries with positive migration.
Now, according to the DHS data, the same countries arranged according to increasing immigration, as a % of population of home country, into the US are as follows:
Nigeria
United States (Not sure how US people immigrate to the US, but they have a stat for it)
Czech Republic
Indonesia
Malawi
Oman
Japan
Austria
India
Tunisia
Botswana
China
South Africa
Algeria

Switzerland
Slovakia

France
Kazakhstan
Mauritius
Sri Lanka

Pakistan
Bangladesh
Croatia
Azerbaijan
Chile
Portugal
Thailand
Sweden
Cyprus
Laos
Hungary
Egypt
Greece
Kyrgyzstan
Morocco
Australia
Poland
Malaysia
Estonia
Bolivia
United Arab Emirates
Kenya
Singapore
Romania
Serbia
United Kingdom
New Zealand

Once again, the correlation holds: the countries with the least government spending are seeing residents flee to the US.
Ireland is a bit of an oddball with only 32.4% private consumption, but a relatively high 0.0312% of residents moving to the US, however Ireland also saw a net positive migration of 23,497, so it’s not like the Irish are fleeing for their lives, but actually gaining population.
Singapore lost 0.0143% of its population to the US, but overall gained 298,448 residents.
It doesn’t matter how you slice it, people flee lack of government spending.
The US is not successful because of capitalism, but in spite of it, because the US has the largest military. People aren’t coming to the US because of capitalism since the most capitalistic places are where the immigrants are coming from.
