RW, what a bulls--t article. > It isn't all rosy back home. Indians complained of traffic and congestion, lack of infrastructure, excessive bureaucracy, and pollution. Chinese complained of pollution, reverse culture shock, inferior education for children, frustration with government bureaucracy, and the quality of health care. Returnees said they were generally making less money in absolute terms, but they also said they enjoyed a higher quality of life. I work with many, many immigrants, and hardly any of them want to return back to their country of birth. Some have, of course, but that's almost always due to family reasons than anything else. I'd sure like to know who's enjoying a "higher quality of life" in India and China, for instance. What a crock. Tenchusatsu

So Obama has caused high value imigrants to choose other places. The destruction he is causing to America is being felt at every level.

They found life in the U.S. had many drawbacks. Returnees cited language barriers, missing their family and friends at home, difficulty with cultural assimilation, and care of parents and children as key issues. About a third of the Indians and a fifth of the Chinese said that visas were a strong factor in their decision to return home, but others left for opportunity and to be close to family and friends. And it wasn't just new immigrants who were returning. In fact, 30% of respondents held permanent resident status or were U.S. citizens. Now you've done it. Suggesting to the wingers that America is not the land of milk and honey it once was is just asking for trouble. Soon, they will be calling you an America hater.
