I didn't have to leave the US, I chose to leave the US and, after living in a few countries, I decided to to remain permanently in Australia. I love this place.

Canada because three of my good friends live there and have heard only good things, but that would be a visit.

Other than that, my choice would be Russia. I have always wanted to visit there and have been learning Russian on my own for a while now off and on.

Canada.

Because it's like a colder, emptier and friendlier America.
That and the women tend to be hot.

Japan

Not only do I have family in Japan, I am also a citizen, so I wouldn't have to worry about visas or anything like that.

What Country is Americans welcome to emmigate to???

Many Countries like Mexico has laws on the books that Americans are prohibited from getting jobs.

My god, you talk such sh!t:

?In brief, the Mexican Constitution states that:

* Immigrants and foreign visitors are banned from public political discourse.
* Immigrants and foreigners are denied certain basic property rights.
* Immigrants are denied equal employment rights.
* Immigrants and naturalized citizens will never be treated as real Mexican citizens.
* Immigrants and naturalized citizens are not to be trusted in public service.
* Immigrants and naturalized citizens may never become members of the clergy.
* Private citizens may make citizens arrests of lawbreakers (i.e., illegal immigrants) and hand them to the authorities.
* Immigrants may be expelled from Mexico for any reason and without due process."
Link.

Says right after that:

Most of this is true.

Employment ?rights??

Why do Americans think they have a right to work in Mexico?

As in most countries you need to get a work permit, and here they tend not to be issued if you are going to take work away from a Mexican.

Now, Americans will say, ?But Fred, all these Mexicans come into the US and get welfare, school for their kids, driver?s licenses and medical care, and don?t pay taxes, and who knows what all. It isn?t fair.?

To which I respond: ?All true. But why is it Mexico?s fault? You practically invite them. Mexico has no obligation to keep its citizens in, though the United States has the right to keep them out. If you folks up north choose to let in poor Mexicans, don?t be surprised when you have poor Mexicans.?

Note that the immigration problem is entirely of America?s making.

Laws, decisions in the courts, amnesties, interpretation of the Constitution, and policy all encourage illegal immigration.

What the US does is to say to impoverished and desperate people, ?See this river? Don?t cross it. If you do, we?ll give you all sorts of privileges, and jobs, and a chance to advance in life and give your kids a good future. Now, don?t cross it, you hear??

So where's the sh!t???

For beer, it's Belgium or Germany (would probably move to Germany since there would only be one language to learn). For living, I'd have to say Canada, UK, or Australia, just because of the language thing.

Austrailia. I'd go hang out and drink with dug and then we'd play some (real) football with a team of wallabies. It'd be pretty awesome. :cool:
