Hmm, I have to think that if things got bad here in this country, they'd be downright appalling most other places, especially those nearby. Anything big enough to make the US a tough place to live would almost certainly spill over globally, and not in a small way. I gotta think that for most cases, staying and resisting would be better than fleeing.
