I find America's immigration to be similarly opaque and exclusionary, even with highly sought skills. I can understand why some people would break the law to enter a country, the legal methods are nearly impossible. And then, ironically, US citizens think they can easily get citizenship elsewhere, only to come face to face the difficulties that "illegals" have overcome.
Closed immigration policies lead to very negative effects, people who are easily exploited, have no incentive to invest in their surroundings (because its inherently a temporary place for them) and little incentive to become "legal" after the fact (due to taxes etc).
Its sad we cannot just be citizens of planet earth, instead of jailed inmates of small plots.
