If that's correct, I can't think events in 2009 will do anything to diminish the flow. What I wonder is: Where did those 2 million go? Britons, Canadians, Europeans, etc, who seek "greener pastures" generally wind up in the U.S. For most of us immigrants, this is the last stop on the tour: There's nowhere else to go. So where on the planet do a couple of million Americans go to find somewhere "greener"?

I think those are illegals that left. Our stupid government counts them as citizens.
A steady paycheck, for one. A friend of mine from a former life actually started an agency to get American pilots for foreign airlines. The foreign airlines loved them because they were polite, efficient and saftey oriented. The American military trains our guys like that. Too many foreign locales train theirs to be hot dogs-- very handy when they are sent on suicide missions; not so handy when you are expected to convey a planeload of paying passengers safely from Point A to Point B.
These folks are fools and here’s why:
They are only safe where they’re going because they carried AMERICAN PASSPORTS and in the past, if they got in trouble, there was SOME expectation that the U.S. would move to assist them up to and including sending in the Marines with enough firepower to bail them out. Under the idiots now infesting Washington, that is no longer a safe assumption.
They would be better advised to stay home and do the hard work of turning out the idiot socialists in 2010 and 2012. If the American Constitution fails, the rest of the world will follow — INCLUDING where these LAZY COWARDS are heading!

There are lots of good options for retirees or if one has a business in the US that can be operated remotely via internet. There is probably a wide range of business friendliness in central america though. I was amazed at the number of people from the US that I ran into who run bed and breakfasts in Costa Rica. (Though there are supposedly weak property rights in CR.) Also hear that Panama and Belize are somewhat business friendly.
It’s growing.
Not nearly enough of them.
The whole world is headed into a place that few would wish to contemplate, it doesn’t matter where one might try to immigrate(hide) too...
Sort of like it was in the USSR?
Just be sure you eat in a good resturant...
The fence is going up folks, no doubt about it. Congress is already getting dangerously close to these kinds of Berlin Wall regulations, the White House will only be all too happy to go along with it to fence in the Tax Base they simply cannot have outside of the System to fund their whole government largesse Socialism.
Sounds like a piece of heaven. The Bahamas are wonderful
Bravo!!!!
The video you posted explains that quite clearly.
Be well, be vigilant.
I know of several HUNDRED who have left taking all of their treasure with them. I would not characterize most of them as libs or having BDS.
Where are they going?
“Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it,”
“Australia is a gun-grabber’s socialist heaven. I wouldn’t move there for anything. Also, the unions have really trashed that country. Somebody is always on strike wanting more tax dollars to line their pockets.”
Good, keep believing that and don’t come here.
My nieces and nephews in CA have dual citizenship with Ireland. They did this within the past year or so.
Watch out for the hurricanes.
It's going to take a while to erect an effective "wall" to keep in the rich. There are always "ways" to effectively circumvent those foolish (and usually ineffective) efforts. Let's also say that on the other end, there are usually folks that want to 'help' them quite eagerly.
Whether that help is good or bad is another matter.
The Libs/Progressives are doing a great job of pushing the 'Evil Rich' out of our country. Now if we could only get them Taxed just as they tax "the Rich", since they get away without so many taxes, being in government.
Hold their feet to the fire, and keep asking why they feel they shouldn't pay taxes and have the health care they keep promoting to us poor Americans.
