Default Do all the people who live in other countries DREAM of traveling to or living in the USA?

NO WAY! I live in Canada and we are similar to the US both culturally and politically, just without all the guns.

ALL the people? No. Some do, but nowhere close to "all."
Americans in general have a much grander image of themselves than most of the rest of the world does. Billions of people are perfectly happy right where they are. Billions more admire or envy some of our freedoms, economic strength, and some other traits -- but would like to have those in their own countries, not live in ours.

You really should travel a little bit -- it'll open your eyes to what the rest of the world really thinks about the US.

Well I'm sure many of the EU countries have a higher standard of living with greater freedom of movement. India and China are on the rise and are suprasing the USA.

NO

I am currently boycotting the USA. I live in Toronto and used to work in Detroit.

The USA has a lot of inner city and rural poverty. In between are some nice pockets, and beautiful countryside.

I am appalled at the racial segregation in Detroit, Boston and other places I've been. I'm glad I don't live USA.


When International law and covenant breaker Bush is no longer
president I'll visit again. Rochester and Buffalo are close but I dream of NOT living in the USA.

I live in the US. But my guess is no. It would be like saying that everyone in the US dreams of travelling to or living in England or some other country. Not everyone likes the US.

No. Some do. Some don't.
I was born in the United States and I immigrated to Canada. I will become a Canadian citizen soon.
I can't imagine any circumstance that would cause me to move back to the United States.

I understand why people want to move to the United States for economic reasons. But culturally, it's a step down.

No. I'm an American living abroad and I know plenty of people, including other Americans, who don't want to live in the US. While many of my students dream about going to America, just as many dream of Canada, England, Australia, France, Germany, and Korea.

I think that's mostly for young people. As you grow older, you discover other dream countries. The USA are great to dream about when you're young, but not that interesting once you have more experience in life and know more.
