It's one thing to talk about changing allegiance to another country when a new president is elected. It's another thing to go ahead and do it. But that's exactly what seems to be happening, on a small scale, in at least in one distant corner of the world. In New Zealand, the number of Americans who applied for a grant of citizenship rose to 170 in the 12 weeks following the election of President Donald Trump from 100 in the same period a year earlier, immigration records obtained by The Associated Press show.

Ping!

If true? Good!

GTFO before the Trump Train runs you down. Losers. ;)

[immadashell]

I hope the Kiwis like libtards.

[Mr. Douglas]

Kinda makes me feel just a bit sorry for NZ though. :(

[Pietro]

Illegals and liberals leaving.

Win, Win!

[cdcdawg]

Why New Zealand? Why not Mexico?

[dforest]

Is this supposed to make us feeeeellll bad? It makes me gloriously happy.

New Zealand can have our mentally ill perverts and lefties.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

I actually considered moving to NZ during the 0vomit years. But they seemed more socialist than the USA and I still had hopes that we could elect someone who was not a communist/islamist/traitor who could turn us around. We did!

Super-rich and well-to-do prepers.

In three months 170 out of 315,000,000 - not worth mentioning. We need to get rid of about 62,000,000

LOL!

They have to live in caves with the Dwarves or Smaug, or in Hobbit Holes with the Hobbits!

Apparently their logic is:

Trump is a rich white Christian racist, so those who really despise him feel the need to move to rich white Christian nations.

Those immigrants should remember what happened to a Pittsburgh religious broadcaster named Tom Green, who emigrated to New Zealand some thirty years ago to work in New Zealand religious broadcasting. The healthcare system was less than ideal over there and Tom developed a serious disease and died while waiting on a list for treatment. Tom had a show in Pittsburgh called Lightmusic on religious station Channel 40 with a young Rose Tennant who has been on Sean Hannity’s TV show a number of times.

Unfortunately (due to what will be involved), you are exactly right. Somehow, we need to start over. If they could ever realize the hell they have put me and others who think like I do through, then they would just suffer for a while like we have. They don't think like that. They can sure dish it out, but they can't take it is all that comes to mind.

[SandRat]

I hope, that the KiWis, refuse them all.

I’d like to send every Democrat party voter on a one way trip to Venezuela. Let them live the way they want us to live.

[Right Brother]

Since they are so good at it, perhaps the Chinese can build a giant artificial island for liberals to live on. Call it ‘Insania’

[silverleaf]

I wonder how many of them New Zealand wants
