I don’t understand why Americans that hate their own country but wont leave for a better place.
Too poor, and immigration is a bitch either direction.
But immigrants in the same situation travel to your country and that doesn’t stop them?
You been paying attention the last several decades?
Even if they leave, they still have to pay a percentage of their earnings to the US government in taxes each year. Regardless of the country they're in, or if they ever plan on returning.
Only way out is to rescind citizenship I think
If you can find somewhere I can go, and take my mother who is a full time wheelchair user, I'll do it. I'll pack my shit and move today. It's just not feasible. The American education system means I wasn't able to go to college until my 30s, and I'm only half way through a bachelor's. Don't nobody want us.
money, family ties.
Thats just mainly the terminally online. Most don't hate America. A few issues to be sure, but those can be fixed.
