Maybe they're all emigrating to Hollywood. It's not just another country, it's another planet.
We know for sure that Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin never left like they promised they would. But 2,000,000 other Americans did pack up and hightailed it for other countries in the last twelve months.
In 2008, over two million US citizens fled the United States for greener pastures, and while this figure still represents less than 1% of the total US population, the trend is astounding. Between 2006-2008, the average number of US permanent resident filings stood at roughly 1.1 million/year, placing the legal inflow at negative 900,000 people. In a country of immigrants, the trend is emigration, not immigration.
So the pace American emigration is increasing. More people are leaving than arriving. And based on events of the last eight months, it will probably continue increasing.
On the other hand, now that Barack Obama is president they’re sure to return. It’s no problem even if they up their citizenship.
All they need to do is cross over the border from Mexico and apply for welfare. Before long, Obama will get immigration reformed passed and they’ll have a pathway to citizenship.
Or even re-citizenship.
God bless Barack Obama.

If I didn’t love this country so much, and want to try and save it, I’d be heading for a new country right now.
