Without hesitation, the EU. I wouldn't want to live in the US.

Have you ever obtained a residency visa to live somewhere? Ever gone through the processes of getting a work visa? It is an extremely difficult and complicated process even for someone doing it at their leisure from the US- which is a desirable country to come from, with a well run state department to assist you. For a one year residency permit with the possibility of getting a work visa in Turkey I needed to produce evidence of $3,600 in a Turkish and account in my name or a recordorg $3,600 in exchanged cash. For my work permit I needed to get authorized copies of my teaching certification, college, and high school diplomas as well as the long form copy of my birth certificate and a passport. All of the names had to match exactly, which ended up being a hassle because for some ungodly reason my mother gave me two middle names but only one us on my high school diploma. Now imagine trying to do that in a stricter system without linguistic help, money, resources, or the willingness of your home country and institutions.

Oh dear, it's difficult..guess that gives us the right to ignore the law of the country we wish to immigrate to.

Yep.....that's why I have tons of sympathy for those who do....It's not "criminal " to desire to be able to have a safe and healthy life.

I imagine, at the very least, it would cross my mind.
