I can't blame immigrants for seeking a better life, especially when the US government rolls out the red carpet in benefits and doesn't require them to assimilate or even minimally comply with immigration laws. But that's not the immigrants' fault that we're run by clowns.
Expats (and I'm generalizing) are well-off, tend to take advantage of the lower cost of living, but then don't really help out the areas they move to when they could. There are exceptions but there's a reason Americans have such a shitty reputation.
I think both should assimilate into their host countries, learn the language and be productive, but someone coming from a poor country to an industrialized one doesn't exactly have the same resources as a wealthy person moving to a "third world" country.
Does it matter whether they're rich or not? Neither learn the language or assimilate. Can't be a money problem.
Those poor people also don't have to commit tax fraud by working under the table. But they do, with no consideration of how much help they could give their gracious host country by paying their fair share of taxes.
Poor people move here, and Lower the Costs of Labor, mainly due to the fact that they learned how to build houses and such in Their Country, how to do Farm and Ranch Work, Mechanics, and other such Skilled Labor, but they do not require the Employer to Pay the exact same Costs of Labor as an American would....
Effect:: Lowered Skilled Labor Pay....
With U.S. Citizens moving to other Countries, they go there with Full Pockets, many may not be Millionaires here, but there, they can buy up a small, decent Ranch, or what is basically a Mansion, or maybe even a Business, or just a large enough piece of Land where the nearest neighbor isn't 50 feet away, but more like 200 feet, they go into town, and the store employees and owners, knowing that ""It's an America"", will raise the costs of items for those specific Individuals. So when it happens in one town that isn't a Tourist town, the locals just cannot keep up with the costs of Living there....
Effect:: Raised Cost of Living....
Either way, the Locals Lose, and they lose big time, and it doesn't matter where this happens, the Effect on the locals is devastating....
If they're going to ExPatriate, From the States, then they should be Barred from returning for at least 10 Years, and MUST take a new Citizenship in the Nation where they move to, if only so they are Forced to Contribute to their New Nation, but lots are not doing that, they're going there on a Tourist Visa and then staying After it has expired, and that's just wrong and immoral, and WE should pay for their Returns, of course, but then the State that they return to should charge them 10X the cost be being returned....
Honestly, I think a lot of expats are worse.

And yet, the near equivalent in Effects....
