Liberal democracy is a cornerstone of “American Exceptionalism.”

It’s why so many people clamor to come here every year, both legally and illegally. It’s why the annual visa lottery is oversubscribed many dozens of times over the annual allotment. [/quote]

People come here for our economy, not our democracy. [/quote]

Dp-… and they are fleeing anti democratic countries. Both. It’s both. [/quote]

Actually only 6 million people apply for green cards each year. That’s not that many people in a world with almost 8 billion people.

About 8 million American citizens live overseas. Apparently many people who could live here choose not to. [/quote]

Misrepresentation - just because people are working abroad for private sector/ non profit sector/ international government sector etc does not mean they are not happy at home or do not plan returning there. Many people from all over the world work as expats. [/quote]

Come on. The vast majority of those 8 million are not expats working overseas. Plenty of Americans choose to live overseas for a myriad of reasons including immigrants who took US citizenship but choose to move back to their home countries. It’s the same in the US - plenty of people come for work but do not intend to stay.
