Just wondering...
Actually, I am generalizing here, but the basic requirements are completely different from ours. I think they have it right. There's is basically what you can you do for us immigration policy. Most have a point system. You get points based on a number of factors. You get points for being younger and you get negative points for being older. You get points for having a skill that is in demand and no points for a skill that is not. You can also qualify if you invest and start a business that employs 10 or more people.

Yeah, that's what worries me. What country is going to want Black Americans who are descendants of American slaves and have no other homeland that they know of? I won't want to stay here either and I think Black people are going to be persona non grata. Rats.

Don't think countries are gonna accept white Americans with open arms either. People are generally not happy with invaders into their country of any kind.

Besides, any conflict that would create problems big enough for a mass exodus would probably spill over into Canada. I doubt conditions would be much better up there.

Ha ha! You libs said that if Bush became president, then you would move to Canada. Then, you all said that if he got voted in again, you all would definately leave. Y'all are still here. And your man, is making it worse! Wish you would have left when you promised to!
We have been trying to leave since Obama was voted in. It is very hard to move. 2 years and we are still here and still trying to leave. It would be easier to get rid of the problem by voting him out, then it would be for us "righties" to get the heck out.
If it were as easy as giving up my SS#, then we would have left years ago. Nice try, though.
