People don't generally leave economically sound and prosperous ones. Hence the majority come from shitty ones.

People don't generally leave economically sound and prosperous ones.

I have to kind of disagree with you there. Having worked in game engine dev for over a decade, I'd estimate anywhere between 25%-75% of my team members were immigrants from prosperous countries. Of those, well over half were from Northern or Western Europe (UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, NL, Sweden....), Canada, Korea, China (arguable to include in this list, but most upper class), Russia and Japan in order of number.

Basically, at different companies, 1/3 to 1/2 of my team had lived most of their lives in economically sound of prosperous countries.

I've been on teams where I was the only American, living in America at an American country. My larger team at Mega-Corp is over half immigrant, mostly from prosperous nations and higher class from them, but the smaller team I'm on is the first only American born team I've ever worked on....of 5 people.

Yeah, because the industry jobs for game development are here in America, which plays a huge part in them coming here in the first place. Outside of specialized fields where all the action is in America, most don't come from developed nations. Bankers, bookkeepers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc... all tend to stay in there country of origin.

doctors

I what? Most medical docs I've seen and used can barely speak good English in California. I had to go for non board approved doctors to get a white girl for my primary care provider. It's so fluxed with Indians and Chinese

That's only sort of a partial response to the question. I'm not asking why are these immigrants from shitty nations.I am asking why it seems the USA is so keen on taking these people in.

That's the way of America, it's literally a country built from and out of immigrants. It was less than 250 years ago that most everyone was an immigrant, it just takes time for things to evolve and change.

Immigrants from European nations with similar values. The population influx these days are from countries that do not share values let alone ancestry.
