I could actually live abroad under my dual citizenship with France if I wanted to. My mother even owns property there - a nice apartment in a nice district of Paris - of which I will become part owner when she passes. But I have no desire to live there.........visit...maybe, once in a while, but live? No. I like Texas. Texas bin beddy beddy goo' to me.

Another other thing is, this whole refusal to enforce border security and immigration laws is going to hurt American ex-pats as much as anybody. If it doesn't get turned around soon, either the nation will cease to exist as we know it and there will be nothing left for an ex-pat to return to, OR the eventual anti-immigration backlash will be so severe as to make it nearly impossible for an ex-pat to get back in either. Either way, there is a distinct possibility that if you choose to leave, you may not be able to get back into the country in the future. For me, that makes it not worth leaving. Because no matter how sybaritic and easy a life lived in a French socialist utopia might be, there is no oxygen there for lungs that want to breathe free. Not to mention that a lot of foreign countries - France included - are about to be overrun by their own immigrant problems. And then there's the who crypto-nazi jew-hating thing. I'm not having any of that. So no matter how bad it gets here, it is still better than pretty much anywhere else, and it will continue to be better for the fact that pockets of free thinking people will continue to exist - no matter what happens.
