The US isn't the best baseline here, what with their infamous attitude that anywhere and everywhere else is unworthy of them.
There's a ton of other reasons why the US is a bad baseline.
A) They let in far fewer immigrants per capita in the first place
B) The US collects incoming taxes on foreign income for it's citizens, even if you lived outside the US while you earned it.
C) In some cases it's harder for US citizens to work or live abroad. For example working holiday visas are only available to Americans in a handful of countries, where Canada has agreements with more than a dozen countries.
And let's not forget their famous ignorance of world geography, and their inability to find the USA on an unlabelled map. "Who wants to do a road trip to Europe?" "Which country is Africa again?"
