    Not all of us live lives of privilege. Surprise!

    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.

      Still kind of sounds like it's based on the overinflated buying power of the US dollar

          Wrong or right I'm not too concerned about but I also don't think it's xenophobia too tame the dollar and it's consequences.

            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.

              Yeah, but that responsibility for actually creating that dignity of the American working class is not the concern of a state likely being exploited too especially when that comes into play within their borders and at the expense of their already extra exploited citizens.

                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.

                    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.

                    Immigrants stay. For life.

                This is nativism

        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.
