In its 250th year, is America, land of immigration, becoming a country of emigration?
Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in. The Trump administration has hailed the exodus—negative net migration—as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas. Beneath the stormy optics of that immigration crackdown, however, lies a less-noticed reversal: America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves and their families in lands they find more affordable and safe.
Since the Eisenhower administration, the U.S. hasn’t collected comprehensive statistics on the number of citizens leaving. Yet data on residence permits, foreign home purchases, student enrollments and other metrics from more than 50 countries show that Americans are voting with their feet to an unprecedented degree. A millions-strong diaspora is studying, telecommuting and retiring overseas.
The new American dream, for some of its citizens, is to no longer live there.

Well...bye.
Thanks. I asked that this thread be deleted.
See ya! And I bet by “Americans”, they mean illegals.
Not all of us. Some of us left because America was too expensive and we wanted a different style of life. The Caribbean isn’t bad at all
Leaving from cities because they can work remotely anywhere in the world.
They immediately conflate people leaving with citizens leaving. That’s where I stopped reading.
Goodbye
Great news!
So funny, when you finally read through all the angst and get to the end they give the actual estimate of people who left in 2025: “The U.S. experienced net negative migration—an estimated loss of some 150,000 people—in 2025, and the outflow will likely increase in 2026.”
