“If you don’t like America, you can’t get out!” Okay.
As Donald Trump and his ilk boast building a giant wall to keep immigrants out of the United States, more Americans than ever before are fleeing.
According to a new analysis, the number of American citizens turning their backs on the United States has skyrocketed in the last decade, breaking records each year.
Since 2008, the number of Americans renouncing their citizenship has increased 18 fold, making 2015 the third record-breaking year in a row.
As the US government continues to spread war across the globe and pass legislation granting tax breaks to mega-corporations while squeezing small businesses for every last dime, people are saying ‘enough is enough.’
