@ScribblersEmporium @Strandjunker I don't know if you've ever made an international move, but it is exorbitantly expensive. I have done it three times as an adult. Daily, I want to leave this country. But I can't afford another international move, and I am an only child with elderly parents who are my responsibility.

That's just one woman's personal anecdotes. For the other innumerable Americans who also want to get out, there are further innumerable reasons why they can't.
