If you are a 1st or 2nd generation American citizen and have parents/grandparents who held citizenship from an EU Country, there is a strong possibility you could qualify for that country's citizenship.

A family member recently received Polish Citizenship through a Grandparent that held it in 1938 and immigrated to Canada after WWII. Worth checking out, giving you the option of living and working on both continents.

After some research, mostly in /r/GermanCitizenship, I recently applied for and received my German passport, based on my mother being German at the time I was born.

There are a lot of subreddits with a lot of useful information. Search for "citizenship by descent" (not just on reddit and not just about Germany) and you'll be overflowing with stuff.

Wish there was a similar US visa for Europeans, but it would probably get swamped with applications

The recent surge of migration into the US came from many places, but Europe was low on the list.

The desire to move to the states is proportional to how shitty is back home. People in Europe have little motivation other than making some money and moving back

Why no DCFT visa for canadians. I thought you liked us

Daft is an unfortunate choice of name.

This is almost as good as Eric Raymond having a disambiguation for a cartoon villain.
