I could criticise a lot here... I am focussing on the above two sections. Moving within one's own country is not in any way comparable to being a foreigner inside of EE/elsewhere at all, where you do get discriminated against even if you're white looking. I have seen it with so many friends. There is also the language barrier as well as culture. Having lived stateside you can't compare movement within the US to moving outside of it.
Also:
Almost 40% of American adults wouldn’t be able to cover an $400 emergency with cash, savings or a credit-card charge that they could quickly pay it off, a Federal Reserve

The above article is about how 40% of US citizens dont even have 400$ to spare. Not everyone who is poor is worthless, they sometimes have had their parents/themselves screwed by the system owned by the banker, hence WHY they are poor. Putting up a shelf company for residency purposes isn't as easy as you think, depending on the country, and sometimes not at all.
I do agree people should not be discouraged from leaving the States/Anglosphere/etc and moving elsewhere. I think more people would if they could. But you do need money to check different places out before deciding a country to settle in and at least some savings, which some worthwhile people dont have. There are many other difficulties too. Its just a reality for many people. We already live in a period of economic 'elitism' where only a few people can afford to do this, outside of the psychopathic 'elites', and the countries the remainder would have a choice of moving to aren't always that great, Ive known many expats, it gets harder year by year and its a lifestyle for a guy who is older who has a lot of savings and not younger guys necessarily who want to move and are stating out in life/older guys who have been screwed by the 'system'/etc.
Well, some people grew up in the 1st world....they have doors open for them everywhere, visas, wilkommen. They got their 1st world money, their whatever right ethnicity that gets them good gringo treatment. They'll never see the other side.
That's exactly where the uncrossable barrier is. It's not possible to understand their thinking and they won't fully understand others views and predicament either.
They won't understand why so many live as illegals in US, EU, South America and even Africa. Why people die trying to get into US. While people struggle for years just to get a visa somewhere.
I knew someone who was murdered over causing someone else to get denied US visa. You can't explain it to these fundamentally 1st world people because they think it's all easy-peasy, because it's easy for them personally.
Anyway, the stress, learning of yet another language, dealing with constant discrimination (apparently some think that being ripped off because of not being a local isn't discrimination, but I disagree), missing home country and what and who was left behind there - just isn't worth it in my opinion, unless one is running from the war.
There's nothing like your homeland, like all the familiar sounds, sights and even smells there... music of your native language, instant connection with your countrymen based on subtle things an outsider will never comprehend. There'll never be a real connection with people overseas no matter how many years are spent there. Those who think there's delude themselves.
Nope, adults don't assimilate. This is a notorious fact and a source of much grief for many locals, as those pesky immigrants are unable to assimilate.
Only children/teens assimilate.
Over decades of life elsewhere, these things become more clear, sometimes it takes over 20 years to really understand them.
Beware that a lot of immigrants/emigrants live in denial of the above, they pretend they don't miss their home country, that all is fine, deny all major problems with relocations, but the truth is very different... they usually will get defensive at any suggestion of something being problematic with overseas relocations, because this might mean admitting wasted years.
And really, does one think the "others" will be so happy if they get lots of gringos living there? Not everywhere. Gringos drive prices up a lot. The more gringos are encouraged to go to these countries, the more pushback will be there eventually. And then you see the dreaded "development" and signs of "progress". Most countries are waking up to the fact that they don't want mass migrations and more doors will be shut soon. Already this virus hoax is a tool to put everyone into their place and control intrepid globe-trotting, among other htings. Hopefully there'll be some cultural revivals instead of globalist gringo-isation and locals being hit with dollar-throwing 1st world people pricing them out. Hey, it happened to many Americans and Canadians on the West coast, revolving door region, only it was Asians who pushed many out.
