Yeah very few Australian's immigrate to the US. I've heard of several in this area but never met one. Plenty of British, German and Scandinavian recents but no Ozzies or Kiwis.

And it worked. Personally, and you may be surprised at me saying this, I don't think America needs those sort of immigrants anymore.

They are not coming now, are they?

For the last 40+ years, they migrate by the tens of thousands to the USA....especially Florida......every Autumn thru Spring......they are called "Snow-Birds" by the Floridians.....some because of medical shortages in Canada, to go to Florida to get the medical care they can't get in Canada, & to get away for the horrible cold that exists in Canada for 8 to 10 months of the year........https://www.snowbirdadvisor.ca/

Indeed. We have common sense.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Yes, I know all about Snowbirds, polesmoker (I live in Atlanta). The healthcare claim is largely false except for a few MRI clinics along the border. Why would Canadians want to pay many times what they would pay for healthcare in their own country?

Exactly.

What possible reason would an Australian have for moving to the US?

The film industry. The music industry. The ...

Actors to Hollywood, musicians to Nashville.

Sure. I'll go along with that.

What about Fat Steve & Janine though - what would attract them?

We have McDonald's in Australia, everywhere you look.

We have pay TV and online streaming services.

We also have a better healthcare system (by FAR), better wages, less guns, better beaches, more public holidays, a higher life expectancy, etc.

Apart from being with family who might have moved there, I can't see any reason why an average Australian would want to move to the US.
