Working a shit job with no way to retire or to stop having to work 60 hours a week when your body is killing you, when you could move somewhere where you could afford to buy a small place and stop paying rent so you could work less or retire makes you a fucking refugee.
The difference is that expats go home. They work their year or two or three contracts and then leave. Usually with gratitude and a great sense of relief that their time in another country is over.
I have friends who moved elsewhere and they started or joined families and integrated into the communities. Most are much happier than they were when I knew them here and are surrounded with people who love them. Sure if you just go act like an obnoxious horny drunk like a lot of Americans do then you won't be welcome anywhere except maybe Brooklyn.
Lol is this a joke
Not all of us live lives of privilege. Surprise!

The power of the dollar should be destroyed.
But while its not happening, the american working class that get ground into dust deserve a chance at dignity as much as anyone else.

how is it at the expense of their citizens for an American to move there.
we aren't talking about tourists here American emmigrants aren't harmful to the places they go
you must not have met the American 'expats' I've met, in that case.
I'll concede that point but individual immigrants being obnoxious isn't a systemic problem

Immigrants stay. For life.
This is nativism

thats just relocating a problem elsewhere. And those places would usually rather have the americans fuck off.
