If the US resettled refugees in the same proportions as New Zealand, we'd admit 107,000 every year. The actual number in FY 2021 was 6,250, lower even than under Trump.

NZ also v anti nuclear (Rainbow Warrior cough cough), so wouldn’t support nuclear subs.

I think you may be confusing nuclear propulsion with nuclear weapons here?

5 eyes has never made public like this. Not sure this comparison makes sense.

i would describe australia as ‘enthusiastic’ in our highly nativist and punitive immigration policy

One could say in a sarcastic way that this is a WASP alliance... Underlying centuries of White Anglo Saxon Protestant elitism, bigotry, colonisation and racism as common values... The last 3 WASP supremacists. Ain't seen nothing like this since the 100 years war

FWIW: the point system in New Zealand is significantly harder to get into (isn’t that more punitive). I ended up migrating to Australia and liking it. IIRC, some resident visas in Canada and NZ don’t let new migrants settle in established cities like Auckland or Toronto

I’m not saying Australia is not punitive. Every country has its own way of making immigration difficult for some sect of people. Anecdotally, for me, Australia was easier than the other two.

As a dual US-Canada citizen, my general sense was always that Canada was friendlier to skilled immigration (through the points system), and US friendlier to unskilled (through the lottery). Am I wrong?
