What country does better than the U.S. in immigration law?
myelin: If you speak good English (either as a native speaker, or have good scores in TOEFL or equivalent), and have qualifications and work experience in an field which has a short supply of qualified workers (engineering, medicine, software, social work, and plenty of others), New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the UK have fairly easy paths to permanent residence.  (Prove qualifications and experience, fill out forms, pay fees, wait for approval, get permanent resident visa, move.)Getting a tech job fresh off the plane is pretty unrealistic, but shouldn't be any harder than getting one in the US.  (White, native English speaking) immigrants I've met in NZ have done the interview circuit and picked up jobs over the process of a few weeks.(I'm a New Zealand citizen, currently in the middle of the H-1B process.)
