Are you under the impression that the UAE allows free immigration? I think you are mistaken.
Did you even read my post? All I said was that Dubai was much more conservative than Germany. If someone considers the USA to be too liberal and Communist, Western Europe is probably not a good match for them.
Doesn't surprise me. I know people who have left the country soon after graduating from college. I know are few who are in Korea teaching English. Doesn't surprise me.

I apologize, I thought you were suggesting Dubai as a place to emigrate to.
Mmm, maybe I have to rethink my plans. I was under the impression that there was no Central Bank in The Caymans. Are they under control of the British Central Bank?
Does anyone know of any countries in the Carribean that have no Central Bank?
The Cayman Islands has a Monetary Authority. Just did a quick search, but did not read through it. It may help you (or not?)
When I was a teenager(around 2001), I thought about moving to Canada, The Netherlands, the UK, and France. A big part of it came from reading books about those places and getting jealous because I was seeing things that I felt like we didn't have. I also didn't feel like I fit in anywhere(even though I am an American). I felt like I needed to travel more.
I read this article as sort of an anti-Obama piece. Some of the wording in it gives me that impression. The USA is a very diverse country and I think many young people have been returning to their native land or the native land of their parents. And the economic situation in Europe is better than the USA at the moment. That might be a hard sell. And USA citizens are being granted permission by these other, foreign governments to work abroad when nationals of those countries are searching for the same work? That might be a hard sell, also. I'd like to see some stats on how this supposed outflow of people from the USA stacks up against the experience in other countries. In Mexico, probably 20% of the nation has left there. And we know why. Interesting discussion, though.

You're right. Nations naturally want to provide the available jobs to their own citizens first. I read posts by so many here saying they might just go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada , Switzerland or Japan, etc. to live, not aware, apparently, that most countries have restrictive immigration policies. Even third world nations have restrictive policies. Try getting permission to live in India. Try getting a visa to even visit Saudi Arabia. It's not as easy as people think. If it was, I'd be living in Canada right now.
Maybe retire in Cuba after the death of the Castros and/or Communism.
Now there are some possibilities. Equador is very affordable right now. The better areas of Costa Rica are already so full of expatriates that property prices are equal to or more than stateside. Nicaragua and Belize are still affordable.

I can speak from my own experience: the local population is 10% of the entire population. Dubai just celebrated it's 40 anniversary. It is 40 years young, so it didn't have a large pool of educated locals to draw from for many years, and still doesn't. The only jobs locals want are government jobs. On top of which, there is no incentive for locals to work as the government gives them everything. A few years ago you had boys coming out of college who were put in government companies as CEOs. There was also an expat as the COO because someone had to run the company. Private companies don't want to hire them for a host of reasons. They are spoiled, pampered people who don't have a strong education. There are those who went to college in the US and UK, who hold high positions. Even if every local was employed, the need for expats will always been there.
