It's definitely not the USA- Mexico is a lot tougher than us. I think it is Japan. (Because of the amount of people and the size of their country).

USA has a strong immigration system. Ironically, a certain number of illegal immigrants is required to sustain the U.S economy. There are certain segments where it is very difficult or expensive to find local workers like farming, cleaning and construction work.\n\nYes you are right some of the immigration policies are obsolete and needs to be revised.  For example the U.S government is running a visa lottery program intended to benefit the countries who have immigration less than the annual per country limit. This lottery program is a little absurd because there is no hard rules even a very low qualified person can get a green card because he has won in the draw. Instead of this the Government can revise to introduce a point system where points are awarded based upon the qualification and expertise needed in the U.S. If one scores the minimum points required, he can file for immigration.  In this way, U.S will get only those persons who are required or are in shortage in U.S.  Many countries like U.K. Canada, Newzealand and Australia are running such programs.

The United States, hands down.  China's zillion man army is drafted, so they are not motivated or highly trained.  The U.S. has the most advanced weapons and the brightest military minds in the world.

CANADA!  The United Nations seems to agree. So too do all the prospective immigrants who can't wait to get into the country.  They even come illegally.  Yes we're a wonderfully even-tempered people who like to mind our own business, let others live as they believe appropriate and just try to "get along".  What more could you want in a place to live?  Our family has been here since 1780 - province of New York previous to that since 1623 - so we can claim loyalty to this grand Dominion.  G-d save the Queen!

the closest systems you will find are Sweden and I think Switzerland as these two countries hold a lot of referendums where people vote on major issues, which is the purest form of liberal democracy.

Canada is way more immigrant-friendly than the USA.

I think this is more an opinionated question.  But the least corrupted country i have been to is Iceland.  People there do not carry guns or lock their doors, no one has murdered anyone in the last 20 years.

Each country has its own immigration laws.  Most require anyone, American or not, to have a valid reason for moving to their country.  Usually, a job is the biggest reason.  Line up a job and you will surely be able to move to that country.

go to their website on immigration.  I think their rules are quite strict.
