Well, as you very nicely and very rightly put in a former post, foreign Freepers tend to defend their country through thick and thin. Barring extraordinary circumstances, I favor working hard for your own country over turning your back on it and look for other shores. I gather this must have been a difficult decision to the expat Freepers that come here

Plus, even if such a mass emigration was to take place, I would stay a Frenchie in my heart and in my soul. And so would most of these immigrants. What would you think of people whose love for their country could be discarded so easily ?
But thanks, man, it's nice to be appreciated !

I was mostly joking, but in a half-serious way :)

Hey, we are so proud of ourselves here that we're sure everyone would want to come here and be one of us. Or at least we were. I've given up on that idea by now. I've had too many candid conversations with immigrants and guest workers who pretty much prove that they're here for the money, the fun, and the liberal social values.

We actually appreciate having both of you at home, defending what's politically best for your own countries, and helping Americans build a better image among your own peoples.

But I still wish we had more Americans like you.
