Why do Brits and Americans have a special term instead of just using Immigrant?

    To be fair, they are pretty bad, unless you do like America and only allow people with certain skills and intelligence. Allowing refugees from war torn countries is very nice, but ultimately brings that war to the country itself and changes the culture into something very different.

      Bro skilled people wanting to become US residents or citizens have to wait an absurd amount of time to even have a chance

          No, it’s because there’s a lottery system that has been backlogged for decades. US immigration is such a bad process that skilled people go to Canada instead because the government there actually values those people.

            Ah ok. Yeah I guess they don’t make it a priority for some reason.
