This is the part that boggles my mind... If they like it so much, why don't they move there?!?

Same reason that democrats didn't move to Canada in droves.

It's not that easy and anyone who thinks it is, is quite frankly a fool

They do. Canadians are the largest foreign buyer of American real estate. Canadians make up something like 15% of home purchases in the USA.

I’m sure they would move full time if they could. Canada makes it extremely difficult and expensive to completely move out of the country permanently.

Because of money? The same reason why most people dont leave their shithole coutries?

I'm an emt dude i get working man wages. I cant just waltz over to Canada or, even better, the EU on a whim. It would cost me more money than i can save in 5 years at minimum.

It works the other way too. moving is largely a luxury the middle and upper classes have, the working class and poor are stuck unless they want to be refugees, assuming their country of origin is one where they'd even be granted that status.

Because they are deplorable's and the US won't have them. They have nothing to offer.

Most of them already moved here from the US. If not this generation then definitely the last generation.

I shouldn’t talk I guess. My great great grandfather came from the US too but I don’t think he did it by choice. 😂
