Why are many australians leaving australia to come to america

2 weeks ago

lately i've ran into alot of mates here in my home state of minneapolis, united states that have moved here from say melbourne or perth and can never wonder why the hell they would leave australia to come here. why do they come here??and it seems that alot of kiwis are coming here too!!!are they tired of water restrictions and the heat? Or are they coming over for the better living prospects cars houses? i dont get it..,.,,<

.................................................................................................

The grass is always greener on the other side and they probably wanted to live in a different country.
I do know some younger ones that have gone over to work in summer camps but most young Aussies go to Europe as they usually have family descendant's there

If you want come good for you and don't let others put you off because its best to make up your own mind it could be the best decision of your life.

Its not really about having all the you beaut material things over here its about having good way of life which I think we have.

its not just the Aussies - its 2010 we have the fiscal decline of the EU and now once again millions from Italy, Spain, Portugal and all over the EU are trying to go to the USA the SAME WAY investors the world over are once again looking at the US$ or gold as the ultimate safe play. Adding all the Asians, other nationals explains why the US is still the #1 recipient of citizenship applications in the world. There is not much stability anywhere. Singapore still looses a large number of its elites to the USA every year, much to the chagrin of the SG govt. The brain drain continues......

Ash,
Just ignore the trolls. We have a serious situation where Europeans are targeting Asians. Greeks are feeling the heat. Their retirement age has been moved from age 53 to 65 and there is no longer guarantee on their "80% of last drawn pay" pension.

No worries mate, much easier to migrate among first world countries then from Singapore. :wink:

Do you think the trolls were awakened because of my "Escape from America" report?

If so, I better take it down. It could be touching a sensitive spot for the world's favourite country.

Okay, blame me.
I should self censor myself because trolls are sensitive to bad news from America by an American magazine.

Should I sue the magazine for spreading bad news? But it will not stand in the First Amendment of the US Constitution. Aussie court will also throw out my case under the 1992 Supreme court ruling of the same.

But I can sue in Singapore court. So, where does the problems lie?

Hmmm ... remind me of the politics of a country where I escape from ....

kekeke ... i realised that my previous post sound "annoyed", but I am not.
:cool:

Actually, I am more annoyed when reading the Escape from America magazine about this Chinese developer offering FREE WIFE if you purchase his CONDOS.
Some of the free wives are ACTUALLY NOT BAD-LOOKING, but a bit old by China standard, so cannot be a rich sugar daddy's vase.

Aiya, not surprising la.

Australia is a very good place to live in, but living cost has risen quite a lot the last few years. Also, young Aussies and Kiwis want to see the world and America opportunity is endless, make sense to move them for a number of years. American has 50+ states to choose from, Australia only a handful. America is the forefront of technology, science & media, Australia's growth is driven by resources and demand from China. America has the world renowed Ivy league universities and hundreds of good universities to choose from, Australia only has truly 8-10 very good universities. American of course win hands down. However, when it comes to economy stablity, unemployment rate, healthcare , lifestyle and crime rate, rich resources - Australia wins now. Australia or US, is still much better than Sillypore!

Now come on, America is perhaps the most difficult country to emigrate to (legally) while Canada, NZ, etc is dead easy.

Singapore is contuning to loose its better educated and wealthy to the US every year, as does the UK, NZ, and yes even, Australia.

why no one cares the US is getting Singapore's best is something that no one seems to want to talk about..........

Pretty sure the trolls will come in sometime soon blaring their horns about how they made huge profits investing in "affordable" US property during the GFC and selling now. :biggrin::biggrin:

America has its advantages, gained as a only Entrepreneur-friendly country in the early days in the Cold War when Europe and Australia/Nz are socialist havens.
Singapore is nowhere to be found!
But now latecomer Australia decided to dump hairdressers and chefs from its migrant list. hahaha Finally, the pollies get it :biggrin:
