Nope, that's just a simple lie. AI: Americans are leaving the U.S. in numbers not seen since the Great Depression, resulting in a negative net migration. Driven by high living costs, divisive politics, and safety concerns, ordinary citizens, students, and retirees are moving to more affordable and peaceful countries, including Mexico, Thailand, and nations across Europe. A sharp rise in citizens seeking new lives abroad is backed by several shifting trends: Negative Net Migration: For the first time in over 50 years, more people moved out of the U.S. than moved in. Brookings Institution data estimated a net loss of up to 295,000 voluntary emigrants. Surging Renunciations: The number of Americans renouncing their U.S. citizenship has grown significantly, jumping to around 5,000 annually. Polls and Interest: A Gallup poll found that roughly 20% of Americans—about one in five—expressed a desire to permanently move to another country.
