What attracts immigrants to the USA ?

@Anniedlr I think alot of that is because American media is everywhere. I remember reading somewhere that Friends was a popular show in the Gaza Strip a few years ago.

The only reason why I bring this up is because even in some of the worst places on earth people grow up being shown a USA where you can live in Manhattan and drink coffee all day.

@Anniedlr Would Brits be better off there?

@Nimbus no. I know personally several Brits who have lived in the US and Canada and it seems like the only real perk is on this side of the pond the government gets a smaller cut of your estate when you eventually kick the bucket.
