I don't have any hard facts as to the number of U.S. citizens that have decided to leave. one thing for sure, a heck of a lot of BUSINESS has crossed the borders and are making everything under the sun and then selling it back to US! they kinda get their cake and eat it too, don't they? Cheap labor, maintain high retail pricing in the United States, what a deal!

a few years ago Wrangler Jeans shut down their North Carolina plants and moved to Mexico. people who had worked at the Wrangler plants for over twenty years lost their jobs. their advertisements still show the "All American Cowboy" on his horse wearing his Wrangler Jeans. only now he speaks spanish.

Wal-Mart couldn't exist without China. perhaps those that are leaving are going to run the foreign manufacturing plants so that we can buy up all that foreign made stuff. the system is working.
