According to a comprehensive report from Worldway Group: Since the United States implemented the EB-5 investment immigration act, the wave of investment immigration has been rising. Why does the United States have such appeal, drawing numerous elites and high-net-worth individuals to relocate there? Worldway Group immigration experts have summarized nine reasons for immigrating to the United States:
1. High-quality and diverse education system
In the United States, every child can attend college if they wish. Admission standards for ordinary universities are very low, making it almost impossible to turn anyone away; only private universities and tuition for foreign students are relatively expensive. If attending a state university, it is affordable for everyone, and there are various types of student loans and financial aid available. Furthermore, many prestigious universities like Harvard and Yale provide tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants annually to impoverished students with excellent grades and special talents to attract talent. In the United States, there are only those who do not want to go to college, not those who cannot afford it.
2. Sound and comprehensive social welfare
The social welfare system in the United States is quite comprehensive. Although it is not a universal welfare system like some European countries, the care provided to citizens and immigrants in all aspects is very thorough. Those who have lost the ability to work and the poor can always receive government relief, ensuring basic living standards, which gives everyone a sense of security.
3. Freedom of travel to at least 160 countries without the hassle of visas
Many new immigrants from mainland China who move to the United States only to hold a green card for the convenience of traveling between the U.S. and China, naturally hope to apply for U.S. citizenship after a few years. One important reason is the highest global privilege enjoyed by a U.S. passport—visa-free travel to more than 160 countries worldwide.
4. Good and complete protection system
The United States has a good security protection system, where everyone's safety, life, and property are guaranteed—auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, fire insurance, flood insurance, etc., are often mandatory for beneficiaries. These can prevent personal bankruptcy and also protect the interests of victims in accidents.
5. World-leading knowledge management
From the earliest scientific management to today's knowledge management, the United States has become the country with the most accumulated management concepts, knowledge, and techniques, and the widest range of applications in the world. Management level is not only the foundation of enterprise development but also an intangible magic weapon for the entire country. In recent years, the greatest driving force for improving management levels in the United States has been the development and application of information technology.
6. The world's number one economic power
The United States is not only the world's largest industrialized nation but also the world's largest developed agricultural nation. The national competitiveness of the United States has ranked first in the world for many consecutive years. Under a highly developed modern market economy and a sound national economic macro-control system, its labor productivity, gross domestic product, and foreign trade volume all rank first in the world. The U.S. dollar is the most powerful currency in the world, equivalent to gold. At the same time, the United States is also a resource-rich country, with abundant land and mineral resources, providing a strong material foundation for U.S. economic development. Anyone who has been to the United States cannot help but admire and envy its fertile land, abundant materials, and prosperous people.
7. Ideal and superior entrepreneurial environment
Entrepreneurship is a channel for many immigrants to realize the American Dream, and the United States is the country with the most perfect conditions for various business activities, the location of global corporate centers, and one of the most ideal places for small companies to grow. To improve global competitiveness, the United States has adopted many investment incentive policies, such as providing long-term low-interest or interest-free loans, and providing labor, investment, and training services. For companies investing in non-central areas, remote areas, and economic development zones, the U.S. government also provides special preferential policies. At the same time, the United States also has high-quality labor resources, with high-quality employees from all over the world who speak multiple languages. Various education and training programs sponsored and organized by the government continuously provide sufficient human resources for the emerging economy.
8. A democratic and equal free world
In the United States, the Constitution establishes a democratic system. The first ten amendments to the Constitution, commonly known as the Bill of Rights, guarantee that the most basic rights of every "individual" in the United States are not infringed upon. Americans believe that if a person's most basic rights can be guaranteed, they are free. They can think freely without fear of prohibition and suppression;; they can freely access various knowledge and information without fear of restriction;; they can freely express their opinions without fear of threats;; they can create freely without fear of constraints;; they can live freely on their own land without fear of their homes being invaded or destroyed;; they can do anything freely within the scope of the law without fear of being framed or imprisoned;; and, when all this is threatened, they can request legal protection.
9. Harmonious and diverse racial integration
The United States is the most racially diverse country in the world. The number of immigrants reached 40 million in 2010, an increase of 28% compared to 2000. Immigrants from all over the world live and work here in harmony. In recent years, the proportion of minority populations has continued to rise. Phenomena of "minority-majority" have appeared in places like California. In half of the 100 largest cities in the United States, white people have become a minority, and the minority population tends to be younger. Statistics show that 17.6% of people speak a foreign language at home.
