There is an American exceptionalism embedded in the idea that y'all think you can just pick up and leave and go wherever you want. It's cute you think you'd be welcomed. Americans aren't exactly popular in the world.

My friends moved after W got reelected. She was a lawyer in her 30s, and she had to 1) have a job lined up, 2) go to more school to practice law, 3) have enough savings to support them both while she did that, 4) become a citizen, before 5) her husband could get a spousal visa to work. So yeah.
