Third, the advantages of American immigrants.

The education in the United States is second to none in the world, and the comprehensive strength of education has topped the list for many years in a row, which is also an internationally recognized view. In particular, the famous Ivy League schools and the top 20 private universities are firmly on the throne of 100 in the world, and have undoubtedly become the leading models of global institutions of higher learning.

No matter whether the American economy is in recession or not, as excellent technical talents, they will have absolute room for development for a long time to come. If middle-and low-end workers are at a disadvantage, the unemployment rate in the United States is the highest among the four major immigrant countries, and the legal minimum income standard is the lowest. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider the immigration of middle-and low-end skilled workers to the United States.

The United States has a temperate continental climate, and the climate varies greatly from place to place, that is, there are areas where the seasons are like spring, and there are also areas where it is cold and hot all the year round.

The welfare system in the United States is perfect, which is one of the important reasons why more and more people immigrate to the United States in recent years. American social security fund has the function of life insurance, and the source of social security fund comes from the payroll tax paid by wage earners during their work, so as long as they have worked full-time 10 years or more, they can receive social security fund after retirement. Full-time wage earners in the United States can say that everyone is paying payroll tax, and every day they work, they have to pay one day, so almost everyone can receive social security payments every month after retirement.
