Point taken, but mine still stands just as well. No matter who might be leaving the US the percentages are waaaaay heavier on the side of whom IS emigrating, making such a question of whom might be leaving of little realistic relevance.

Hell yeah, any time someone takes a whack with a comment like the OPs which was clearly meant to make some snide inference regarding de-emigration stats about MY HOME I will damned well step up to the plate in defense of my country.

I don't begin to envision Americans as any type of master race, which would be in itself a pretty inane thought as the question would then arise "Which race within our multicultural makeup would that be conferred upon?", nor that we have any right to claim a superior society either, so this is no part of what was said, nor in the realm of the un-said by my statements. I try diligently to be quite succinct in what I say with no need for ancillary interpretation afterwards winking smiley

America, Americans and the American society all have their shortcomings, as does any other place(s) or group(s) on this ol spinnin orb. With that having been said I know I'm right where I want to be, and what seems pretty obvious from the constant streams of those trying to get here is that, as bad as many folks seem to want to make America out to be, there are still plenty of places others are prepared to leave to be here instead, which can not be said of many other places in the world grinning smiley
