These essays certainly give many good reasons why people would not flock to [[China]] and [[Russia]] and they also provide plenty of evidence that the countries are corrupt, authoritarian countries.

=== 12 reasons why people are flocking to the USA ===
 +
[[File:United States flag in the wind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The flag of the [[United States]] ]]
 +
The article [https://www.visaplace.com/blog-immigration-law/10-reasons-to-move-to-the-us/ Top 10 Reasons Why People Move to the US] certainly gives some legitimate reasons why people are moving to the USA.
 +
 +
But I would give two more which I mention below:
 +
 +
* There is still a lot of [[religious liberty]] in the USA.
 +
 +
* When compared to many countries, there is still a lot of political freedom in the USA.
 +
 +
=== China and Russia and the issue of religious liberty ===
 +
 +
China has [[state atheism]] (See: [[China and atheism]]).
 +
 +
Russia has less religious liberty in the USA in various respects (See: [[Restrictions on religious activity and/or religious persecution in Czarist, Soviet, and contemporary Russia]]).
