Gated communities and security guards? Just a thought. Could be. Regardless several central American countries besides Mexico have huge American expatriate communities that have risen up and they are not all retirees. Many are people doing their own start up companies through thre internet, etc, or at least run their companies via the internet. If these are such hell hole countries, why are people going there as a permanent residence? Why would they put their families in such danger? The weather and the culture is much of it, as well as low cost of living expenses for moving there. If it is good enough for Americans and Canadians, who are pumping money into the local economy, it cannot be as bad as the migrants claim. Shit, the democrats say the gang activity in America by central American gangs is a made up lie by Trump, so it must not really happen down there. You keep saying that "so many Canadians are moving to places like the Honduras", and refusing to back it up. How many are moving there? I have yet to meet anyone who is interested in moving there. Would you please explain what you meant by it? How many is "so many"? Six? Sixty? Six hundred? Six thousand? Sixty thousand? |

I know a bunch who winter there, just like some of them go to Florida or Arizona. They didn't move there. |

If "so many" thinking and acting in one way makes it true, Hillary would be a better president than Trump because more people voted for her. And since there were "so many" votes for her, we can only assume all those people are right and have the exact same reason for their action. |

Not entirely true. Most of the migrants were within 300 miles of the US border, but over 1000 miles from where they would have to go to apply for asylum in Mexico. Some people did walk back and take the opportunity. People have been told, repeatedly, that the USA is the best country on earth and the best place for a hard worker to make a good life against the odds. Too bad they believe that. it doesn't need to be the best in the world, just the best in the region.
that is also debatable.
It doesn't need to actually be the best at all. It just has to have the reputation of being the best, and we constantly throw our self reported "superiority" into the faces of everyone in the world. And the most desperate people believe it. |

So you're using what is essentially a personal blog site that links to none of the facts it cites as your evidence? |

But the term flocking is pretty funny.

Canadians vacation anywhere where it's warm. Cuba to Guadeloupe, Vietnam to the Jamaica. We have a strong middle class with lots of disposable income.
(Surprise!)
It doesn't mean we are MOVING to these places, as VB claimed.
