This comparison will never make any sense. Countries such as Canada, Australia, UK, Ireland, and New Zealand will never overtake the USA in numbers. Their populations are far too small to absorb that number of immigrants.
Canada is about a tenth of the size of the USA in terms of population but takes in about 1/4 of the number of immigrants that the USA does per year. So from a per capita perspective, Canada accepts far more immigrants than the USA. In pure numbers, the USA accepts more. But again, you really can't compare.
Immigration policies change with each term. Most countries with low birth rates need people to immigrate so unless the Mormons take over the US the US will need immigrants. US still attracts immigrants based on their top schools, hospitals and research institutions. Still a much easier place to do business versus other places in the world where the government may seize your assets and put you in jail.
then what youre telling me is that the u.s. will continue to be the chief receiving nation for the foreseeable future for immigrants the world over with lady liberty looking overhead then? rsvp
will the u.s. attract more immigrants from the world over than any other country in the world then? rsvp.
In terms of number of immigrants likely yes because it is a large country. Per capita there are many other countries that take in more imigrants but are smaller countries spa smaller number. Everything is policy driven and policy can change. With automation countries may need less immigrants.
