My understanding is that a player that holds a green card -permanent resident card does not count against the eight international slots.
I can think of three reasons to make the jump. 1) MLS players have a higher salary scale overall than USL players. 2) They would have the chance to play in better stadiums, stay overnight in better hotels on away games, and usually fly to away games instead of taking a bus. 3) They would have the opportunity to test thenslves against the best professional competition in North America on games that not only be televised locally but cable cast nationally and internationally (in the U.K. no less).
