While I get what you are saying I would argue that the Americans that are leaving and becoming immigrants aren't the shitty Americans that would never think of such a thing.

    Two ways you get to leave this country “easily”:

    1. unattached with little to lose. Go work abroad and establish residency. Cost of the plane ticket to get there.

    2. lots of money. Buy a golden visa.

    For the rest of us it’s a major undertaking with lots of sacrifice, upheaval, risk, and difficulty.

    (Yes, this is a simplification and there are exceptions, but for the most part this is true)
