Sure, I'll elaborate. It is my understanding that a legal immigrant or visa holder in France cannot gain access to certain jobs and benefits. There are certain jobs and positions in France that are reserved for natural-born French-folk, I am told. I did not know this until recently, and was surprised by it.
A colleague of mine works for a client of mine in France, and her work contract is up. She has explained that she cannot get anything EXCEPT contract work there because of these rules, and, accordingly she is seeking employment in the USA. She wants a job that is more than a year-to-year contract basis, but cannot get it in France. Oh, just FYI, she's an attorney.
Anyway, that's just my understanding. My point was that the USA is not the only country where an immigrant can "live the dream." My secondary point was that I am not willing to go as far as to say all first-world countries are places of such opportunity, either, because to my (limited) knowledge, some first-world countries still have rules barring immigrants from certain jobs -- France being the example I used.
Of course, if I'm wrong, I'd like to know about it.
