Eleanor Pelta has secured Polish passports for herself and her two sons. Stephanie Schwab is planning an escape route via Spain. Elie Jacobs has begun to keep enough cash on hand to buy last-minute plane tickets to Israel for his family. Alex and Aussa Lorens are applying for work visas in Australia, while Josh Lewin is aiming for New Zealand.
And Kami Lewis Levin already has her bags packed and tickets purchased. She leaves next week, with her husband, three children and a dog, for a new home in Costa Rica.
Americans are not flocking to the exits, but some of them are thinking about it, and some are talking about it, and at least a few are acting on the idea. Google searches for terms like how to move out of America spiked this past weekend to levels not seen since November 2016, right after the presidential election, and last seen a decade ago during the Great Recession.

And it would be wonderful if they’d renounce their citizenship and hand over their US passport, Never to Return.

More beer for the rest of us.
This is getting #$#$ing insane, the media.
I feel like I am in the USSR reading TASS every day lately.
How long before conservative site start getting shut down?
I thought we WON the Presidency and the senate.
RBG needs to go so things can start heading towards the SCOTUs.
Like antitrust cases again social and regular media.
It’d be wonderful if all the Trump-hating liberals really did get the hell out of this country. Nonetheless, this phenomenon is a drop in the ocean. It won’t move the needle on anything. In the grand scheme of things, the number of people who are seeking greener pastures outside the U.S. is far too small to have any meaningful impact.
Hope they take Hollywood with them. We need a program to pull their citizenship. Also a gofundme place to help more of them to get the f$$k out.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. What can we do to further expedite their departure?
Good! Now if all the Communists in Hollywood who promised to leave would do so.
Interesting. Spain is a country the pansy left has done a good job on wrecking.
Good
Liberals fleeing to avoid prosecution.
Venezuela sounds nice.
If only all the Mexican and Central American illegals would “vote with their feet” not to come to the U.S.
Took ya 3 years to find 5 peeps out of 330 million, big whoop, Yahoo.
Many countries, like Canada and Australia, won't take you unless you have a skill or profession they need or bring enough money to support yourself. A fact lost on those who think America is so evil for even having a border.
Lisa Belkin, You are fake news.
And they say this like it’s a bad thing!?!?!
Hasta La Vista, Baby!
