All Americans know that America was founded by immigrants that would come into Ellis Island – greeted by the iconic Statue of Liberty. However, although the U.S. is a country founded by immigrants, it’s surprisingly pretty difficult to get citizenship. So if it’s hard for people to emigrate here, you won’t believe how much more difficult it is in countries around the world. According to Cracked.com, “Immigration to Canada, Australia and New Zealand works by giving “points” to immigrants who have skills or other things that the country needs.” So if you happen to have a valuable skill, then give it a try – otherwise you might just get the boot.
