Wealthy Americans aren’t just fleeing big cities for rural communities amid the virus pandemic, social unrest, and surge in violent crime; some of these folks are leaving the country until the dust settles. Citizenship advisers, government agencies, and real estate developers are pointing out a surge in inbound migration flow of Americans to countries in the Caribbean Sea ahead of the US presidential election.
Forbes spoke with Mohammed Asaria, whose Range Developments is constructing six new Senses resorts in Grenada, said Americans are flocking to the Caribbean as a means to ‘hideout’ from the socio-economic implosion stateside.
“You’ve got the election coming. That’s number one. You’ve had Covid and certain places in the U.S. have been challenged through that, and more working remotely,” Asaria said.
Requests for long-term stays at Secret Bay in Dominica have soared 66% this year as Americans seek isolation in the mountainous Caribbean island nation.
“It’s the first time the U.S. has gone through a period like this and it’s not just the Covid-19 situation,” Gregor Nassief, its owner, told Forbes. “It is the fear of what an extreme outcome on the left or right may look like after the presidential election.”
Petra Roach, head of Global Markets for Visit Barbados, said Barbados recently unveiled a new 12-month “Welcome Stamp” program that is intended to target Americans who want to escape the chaos in the US and work remotely in a peaceful country for an extended period. Since the launch, more than 1,100 applications have been seen, nearly half of the applicants are from the US, UK, and Canada.
To accommodate the increasing demand for long-term stays, hotels in Barbados, such as Hilton and Marriott, are now offering long-term packages for wealthy Americans.

So it IS that serious....
Locust flying to the next field.
For some reason I’ve always been attracted to the Virgin Islands.
Cowards. You guys stirred it all up for you benefit. If you get burned out, you deserve it, not the rest of us.
“It is the fear of what an extreme outcome on the left or right may look like after the presidential election.”
What might an “extreme outcome” on the right look like? On the left, we know it means more mob violence and burning cities. I guess the right means Law and Order. People don’t flee from that; they flock to it.
During hurricane season? Yeah, riiiiight.
55 days before the election!?
Reminds me of the marine who takes a guest to the local VFW.
Where did these guys serve? she asked.
He said, you see the old guys back there playing dominos? they were in Korea, the old guys shooting pool were in Vietnam, and that guy over there drinking the appletini was in Grenada.
Kokomo ~ The Beach Boys
Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don’t we go?
Off the Florida Keys, there’s a place called Kokomo
That’s where you want to go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo
Martinique, that Montserrat mystique
We’ll put out to sea and we’ll perfect our chemistry
And by and by we’ll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye, give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo
Port au Prince, I want to catch a glimpse
Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you want to go and get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo
“...and that guy over there drinking the appletini was in Grenada.”
LOL!
Since her father was Jamaican on a student visa when she was born, Kamala is a Jamaican Citizen and should flee to Jamaica as soon as possible! (Has she renounced that citizenship???
One of her Indian grandfathers was a Brahmin and a government Civil Servant. Bet she could live cheaply in India too! (Since she was born here she has dual citizenship with the U.S.)

Dual Citizenship – India & USA?
India does not support dual citizenship at this time.
“Note that even though US-born kids can get US passport, they also get an option to choose either Indian or US citizenship as and when they turn 18.”
:)
Yup, when the wealthy are abandoning ship, you know what’s coming is bad.
“extreme outcome on the left or right “
Extreme outcome on the right?
What would that entail?
A few lawsuits filed, some really rough Fox news shows decrying the stolen election?
What garbage. There is NO “right wing” violence, it has ALL been on the Left.
Good map
...but, but, but...
...weren’t all the lefties threatening to move to Canada, if Trump won the election? I guess it was GRENADA, not Canada.
Oh, well. Perhaps they could convince True-dope to leave Canada for Granada. One can only hope!
Is there some way we can fly BLM and Antifa to the Carribean so they can spread their peaceful protests there too?
You forgot Pedo Island.
