Yes better but not haven
I agree that this country is more open to immigrants than any other -- although it is slowly changing. Also think INS (or USCIS ) has LOT of problems. But disagree that Europeans are opening arms to forgieners -- really do not have stats to back it up -- but have anecdotal expreince (e.g. the problem the Turkish people had in Germany long before 9/11 )and reading which tells me that this country is more welcoming to foreginers.
I still believe that this country behaved better to the foreginers/minorities after 9/11 than many in the subcontinent (think the riots around Aodiya mosque issue)
