This would solve so many of our country's problems

YEAH then let them vote with their feet! Instead of trying to fundamentally change the country the rest of us love~~
Better yet, give them the airline tickets to GTFO!
This would be a wise use of money I would support
Even finding them another dwelling (in a different country) and paying for their first years rent would be good for America....
But once you leave you lose your citizenship PERMANENTLY!
Yes, absolutely!!!
I took a poll too, 100 percent of patriots would prefer it too.
Provide them a one way coach ticket to the country of their choice and 6 months to renounce their citizenship.
That'd be the best solution - help them GTFO ASAP, with 3 months or less time to renounce their US citizenship. Plus, they'd find out a few things, like:
*most countries' borders are "secure" and few accept immigrants willy-nilly w/o vetting/prior authorization and proof of a means to support themselves,
*English isn't spoken by everyone everywhere,
*many (most) countries have rules that necessitate assimilation (learning the language, history and culture) in order to become citizens (or to even hope to function normally within society [ex. learning the language and rules of the road in order to obtain a driver's license]),
*few countries guarantee or conceive of God-given indivudual rights like free speech (ex. criticizing, disrespecting and advocating to fundamentally change the government and/or its officials), religion, and the bearing of arms,
*most countries tax their citizens as much or more than does the US,
*socialized medicine has its good points but its bad points can make it a (frustrating and, sometimes, deadly) nightmare,
*many governments involve themselves in - and control - people's lives to a much greater extent that does the US,
*Americans are not liked in many countries,
*being a minority can subject one to all kinds of discrimination and many governments are "ok" with it,
*crime and corruption live everywhere,
*many countries operate on the premise that the accused is "guilty until proven innocent",
*"justice"/punishment have different meanings than in the US and most other systems operate much more quickly and with less leniency,
*etc.
In other words, they might find out that life in the US is pretty good compared to many (most) other countries. But, hopefully by the time they find that out, it'd be too late for them to return.
Great synopsis!
