Immigration is easier said than done for the average person. Emigration out of any democratic country is easy. Putting up with countless hours, weeks, months(scandinavia), years(in the US) for paperwork to immigrate, and still possibly being told no. Sure you maybe able to get H1B or something similar to work temporarily, but then you are basically a hostage to your employer. Don't say marriage either, that should be left for entirely different purpose than legal trickery. I think first and foremost freedom should be freedom of movement and it certainly isn't case in any of these great democracies of ours. Other than that what matters is most money for least work...
