... but is this the voluntary deportation he wants?

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.

They need to stay and fight the tyranny.

I don't know what country you are from, PucksFool,

But here in America, we don't keep citizens from leaving if they want to.

You seem rather confused.

Preventing illegal immigration by non-citizens (i.e. preventing non-citizens from illegally entering into, or illegally remaining, in our country) is not the same as, nor does it imply, that we would also want to prevent citizens from legally emigrating to any other country they want to.

Logic was never the left's strong suit.
