Costa Rico? It’s actually Costa Rica....Rhymes with that other Obanana republic, “Amer Rica”...

There is a birth dearth going on in most of the western world. At a certain point, a lot of those countries are going to need to import people to keep their economies afloat. So. Let’s say that you’re country X. Your population is aging. Your birth rate is in the toilet. Your choices are to import unskilled adherents of the religion of peace, commit demographic suicide, or import well educated Americans and Canadians. Maybe some of those Full Quiver families who think having 20 kids is really cool.

VERY interesting speculation RKBA.

I suspect that if any country relaxed their gun laws you just might see just that, I know that would be a huge hurtle for me. I mean can you name any other more Gun-Friendly Country than the U.S.A.? (no Switzerland doesn't count) I mean walk into Cabela's Buy one and waltz back out, no bother, no waiting.

Like Buying a Snow Blower.

Also Families who have lots of Kids are going to stand out. And if the US goes the way of Red China One Child Policy (the Uber Liberals just salivate at that idea) than you know there WILL be an exodus of Quiverfull Families.

Just for comparison, we naturalize about 680,000 citizens a year.

Yes, but we are naturalizing tax transfer recipients while we are expatriating highest bracket tax payers.

“VERY interesting speculation RKBA.”

Thanks, but it’s not really speculation. There is a growing market in countries selling citizenship. Some time ago, it was extremely expensive if you were, say, a multimillionaire who wanted citizenship in an EU country. The prices are going down and it’s becoming something that the moderately well off can do if they so choose. It’s not much of a leap for those countries to start seeking out business owners, young families, or people with valuable skills.

While that course of action isn’t attractive to me, there are some who would see it otherwise.

“I suspect that if any country relaxed their gun laws you just might see just that, I know that would be a huge hurdle for me. I mean can you name any other more Gun-Friendly Country than the U.S.A.?”

The US has about the best. Switzerland is of course good, other than that you’re talking mideast countries if you want something like the US when it comes to firearms ownership. The Czech republic isn’t too bad, but nothing like the US.

Again, though, RKBA is not big of a deal for a lot of people. And with some pessimism I have to ask: how long will our liberty in that respect continue? We’re probably losing the long term demographic battle when it comes to RKBA in the US.

>>>Spain sounds nice, but do you have children?<<<

Spanish IRS is not less anal. They are broken to a bone, and close to go full communist in no time.
