I would go to Hungary. For 10000 Euros you can buy a residency there. And with their president adamant about keeping refugees out it does have some appeal.
I totally understand folks wanting to flee Donald J. Trump's Redneck America, by the way. I'm not sure America is ever going to get any smarter unless it is forced to, and Republicans will continue to work hard to keep America stupid.
By being "forced", it usually involves an involuntary approach and is a forced reaction to events. Say, for example, Americans remain ignorant of their bombing of foreign lands. When a terrorist blows himself up on the subway and chants he is doing it for revenge of America killing civilians in (insert country ______) , Americans are forced to acknowledge that we are killing lots of people in _____, and most casualties are usually civilian.
Take climate change. When coastal cities are swamped and inundated with water in their downtown streets, Americans are forced to acknowledge that, yes, science is real, no matter what Trump, Hannity or Limbaugh say.
How funny you want to move to an island because you don't like living with people with differing views....but want to bring millions of people to this country that would chop your head off because of your views.
Dothetwist, how do you live full time in Mexico? Do you have dual citizenship? What about your insurance? Is it accepted there?
Just asking because I know Canadians must leave USA at certain time intervals to maintain citizenship and insurance.
When we lived in Mexico 2008-2012, our insurance (through my ex employer) covered us for emergencies outside US anytime. We went back to the US once a year for 5 weeks, to do our routine medical and dental stuff (we were then, in our late 50s with no health issues). We paid out of pocket in Mexico for doctor visits for things like colds, flushots, pulled muscle, stitches. Office visits were between 150 and 200 pesos; house calls (yes, still done there) were 200-250 pesos. Now office visits are 250 pesos, I've been told, or 14 bucks.
Fast FWD to now....we are 64 and 65, on (or soon to be on) Medicare, which can't be used outside US. We have a Medigap policy (thru ex employer) which covers us for emergencies outside US, but only for first 60 days of each trip. For the time being, we'll keep our house in FL and go there twice a year for routine care. We will join either IMSS or Seguro Popula in Mexico (IMSS is better, more hospitals in system, and costs about USD equivilant of $250 a YEAR at our ages). Seguro Popular is almost free but clinics/hospitals are crowded.
We have permanent resident visas in Mexico (like a US green card).

That's not true. I know dozens of US citizens who are hold dual citizenship in MX. None were born in MX.
You heard wrong or they are not telling the whole truth. Mexico does not allow foreigners dual citizenship unless one of their parents are Mexican by birth, and I believe the children as well.

Mexico is among the many nations that allow dual citizenship. It does not, however, allow multiple nationalities beyond the initial two. Once you have your permanent residency, it is fairly easy to obtain Mexican citizenship.
While there are options to become a Mexican citizen through birth abroad to Mexican parents, Mexican descent back two generations (although there has been talk of extending it to three generations), or through marriage or having Mexican children, most foreigners will qualify for citizenship through naturalization.
Naturalization in Mexico requires five years of residency prior to the application date, which can include all years of residency, whether temporary or permanent.
