America needs more immigrants

[Tintrlvr]

I feel like it'd make sense to open free migration between the USA and the EU, given that there would be likely equal amounts of immigration in each direction in that case.

I think this would be a huge positive, too, but seeing how controversial free migration between the EU and Britain, which are much more similar, has been, this would clearly not be possible in practice, at least right now.

One might consider free migration between the US and Canada as a starting point.

Migration between the US and Canada is already almost free. Canadian citizen can apply to TN visa, and work freely in US. There is no cap for TN and very easy to obtain.

I have no direct experience on this, but Canadian friends speak of a quite difficult process, and all of the Canadian-American couples I know (only three, but still) have said that it's much easier for the American to work in Canada than the reverse.

In any case, "apply for a visa" automatically means we're not talking about free migration.
