So there's a pragmatic question of how to avoid putting yourself at a disadvantage by being comparatively overgenerous that you don't have to be a "paleoconservative" or Trump supporter, or even Republican, to be concerned about.
>if you make more than a certain amount not if you invest over a certain amount.
I don't know any developed countries with that system. Do you?
There might have technically been other minimal requirements like knowing English or the local language, but most people who fulfill the pay requirements will fulfill the minor requirements too if applicable.
If so that's not the same as an income requirement at all.
If not, I'd like a list of them because that's very interesting.
I'm sure lots of countries have similar rules.
They have to demonstrate that they can't find a citizen to do the job etc...?
But: - tech salaries aren't US competitive - people often speak Danish (sometimes it's a requirement)
And while you'll probably do fine with English in Denmark in general. Long term you would need to learn the language. And to be fair, it's a useless language, there is only 5M speakers, why would anyone spend time learning that? :)
And yes, you would experience racism too. Just because it's a borderline social-libertarian paradise doesn't mean all the people are angels.
A disadvantage or an advantage? It's always seemed to me that people from other countries and cultures contributed very positively to what the US is today.
One thing that gets somewhat ignored for political reasons is assimilation/integration. Of course there was never a purely smooth, even, perfect melting pot, and there's a large history of enclaves in America, but today there are parties taking that to a prescriptive rule of "don't culturally appropriate" that feels self-defeating (and just dumb, frankly).
There's also room for a discussion of what good qualities to explicitly promote adoption of for shared values, etc.

You might like to ruminate on teh fact that while Trump demonizes immigrants out of one side of his mouth, the resort he owns at Mar-A-Lago- was able to get 70 H1-B visas to hire hotel staff, despite the availability of some 5000 such people in Florida's state employment opportunities database and a whole lot of US citizens in Puerto Rico that are in search of economic opportunity right about now. Not that you were making a partisan point, but this is a great example of how the rhetorical divisions in American politics do not line up with the business practices.
