Although the US apparently does not keep official data on out-migration, it has been claimed the the current emmigration is at an all-time high. It is also clear that in-migration from India and China is dropping dramatically. In the past, folks would come to the US for higher education and stay, and now they are either returning to their home countries or not coming at all because of increased opportunities at home, educationally and economically. If we look at the ex-pat community, it is clear that it is the higher educated and more wealthy that are leaving this country. The great majority of in-migration is of poor and lower education folks, and who can blame them?? This country has virtually no controls on immigration and it provides vast services for immigrants, legal or illegal - so who is smarter here? I would also forecast to Anon that there will be a continual increase in out-migration, to places where there is not a culture of anti-intellectualism and divisiveness, and where there is less emphasis on making war and more on living along side the other.DEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535087176533944091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-10879698192014661102011-03-27T13:48:47.256-06:002011-03-27T13:48:47.256-06:00Karl couldn't have put it better himself.Karl couldn't have put it better himself.Bizzy Brainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-18579396035957338692011-03-27T12:54:45.694-06:002011-03-27T12:54:45.694-06:00VOTE!!!!VOTE!!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128857411912929824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-8689852401886990892011-03-27T12:19:41.446-06:002011-03-27T12:19:41.446-06:00This is upsetting and I wish I knew what to do abo...This is upsetting and I wish I knew what to do about it.
