Why don't these people move to a place where it is much cheaper to live? Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico all come to mind.
Living in the US is expensive and you can live much cheaper in other countries and have the adventure of living in another country.

- mmagin 11y agoDo the countries you mention want immigrants who are not likely to benefit their economy significantly and who probably don't have fluency in the local language?
- MrMullen 11y agoCosta Rica and Panama happily take America retirees. America retirees have a guarantee income, they don't cause trouble and health care is affordable in those countries. The retirees should learn spanish but there is no reason they could not stay in their own enclaves, if they had too.
