Makes sense, considering how many more people there are now than there were 20 years ago. Also, the opportunities the American economy presents for people overseas have promoted relocation overseas.

Very weak logic, Davo. The only thing proven by the large crowds immigrating to America is that there are lots of poor people in other places, and those people feel (correctly) they would be better off here.


Why wouldn't they go where the standard of living is better, like Australia and Japan?

My point is that America is still the best place in the world to live, regardless of what the American left says.
