The United States is now ranked among the world's worst places to move to, due to rapidly increasing costs of living, health care and basic education.
A new survey released this week of more than 20,000 expatriates representing 182 nationalities used five overall pillars of criteria, 48 separate factors and 17 subcategories to rank countries. Using a sample size of at least 75 survey participants per location, Quality of Life, Ease of Settling In, Working Abroad, Family Life, and Personal Finance were rated by expats from all over the globe. The sixth annual report from Expat Insider found the U.S. ranked 47th out of 64 countries rated in the survey.

We should be having a huge net outflow to better countries. So really "Trump's Wall" should be operating like the Berlin Wall to keep people in. Finally I understand!

The day I see long lines outside Chinese Consulates in New York, San Francisco, I will feel threatened by China. Not until then.

Really? A survey of expatriates - people who have left the USA voluntarily - is supposed to make us concerned about our country's quality of living ranking? This is as stupid as would be a survey of death row inmates regarding their perception of our justice system - or high school dropouts about the value of a high school diploma. PULEASE!

Well then DEMOCRATS, the only truly humanitarian thing to do then is WALL off our borders to prevent people from accidentally stumbling into this horrible country of ours. We wouldn't want to inflict such hardship and deprivation on any new arrivals. I mean, if we really care about them it's just the right thing to do.

Msm trying to influence the 2020 election with more fake news! The subtle meaning is that only Democrats can get us back to the top with spending trillions for the hoax climate change and billions for healthcare for illegals! Our healthcare and education costs are expensive because about 20-30 million illegals live here! Newsweek is still in business who knew?

Health care was screwed up by Obama and his pals in big insurance and big pharma to the point that the middle class can not afford it. Liberals have been dumbing down and ramping up college prices for so long that you can buy a high quality house cheaper than you can attend five years of liberal indoctrination. Normal paying students pay for the athletes, the affirmative action crowd and a bunch of foreign students. Cost of living is directly related to liberal taxes, Next?

Since so many above have mentioned it, I don't really need to add my If this survey is accurate, why are millions of people every year risking their lives crossing burning deserts or rafts on unforgiving oceans, murder, rape , slavery, sickness, hunger and thirst to escape from their paradises to come here, to such a horrible place?

Oh fer Chrissake. They surveyed a bunch of people who came here from other countries, to live and work. They say it’s such a bad place to live - BUT THEY’RE STILL HERE! How phony is this? If it’s so bad, why don’t they go back to where they came from?

Announce that the ‘gates’ to this country are closing tonight at midnight. Forever. And ever.
Let’s see who wants out and who wants in.

NOTICE to all illegal aliens considering immigration to the United States of America:
This country is not a good country to immigrate to, based on the recent report by the Expat Insider that ranks the US at #47 of 64 countries based on quality of life.
So, please consider the following countries to "immigrate" to: Venezuela, Syria, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, France, Australia, and, of course, MEXICO.
Good luck to all of you.

This "survey" is meaningless. That said, things used to be better here.

This only occurred, according to the graph, after the demise of former President Obama from the White House and the election of President Trump to the White House.
Yes it is really tough living in the USA, and has been why millions of illegal aliens and legal immigrants are constantly trying to gain entry to the USA to live and work, or perpetrate criminal offenses and drug trafficking crimes.

I have to assume this expat is talking about Lib run states/cities...
If it's so bad why are the throngs of illegals flocking to get here?

This survey was taken immediately after the participants watched the Democrat presidential debates.

I think we should have a humanitarian effort to evacuate all non-citizens from this terrible country. I also think we should erect a tall fence around the entire country to prevent anyone outside the country from accidentally straying into this disgusting place filled with people that do not realize how wonderful it would be to have wise Democrat overlords. If we were a truly enlightened country we would have masters that could snap their fingers and decide who should have plastic straws today. Instead we make terrible choices like having an electoral college and checking IDs before voting.

Newsweek, Washington Post's offspring, spouts the same old same old blah blah blah. Hope the ''expat'' stays gone. They can stay wherever and suck up that oxygen, leaving ours a little cleaner.

Oh, please, what countries in Europe are safe to live in?
What countries in the Middle East are safe to live in?
Is Britain a safe country to live in?
Is Africa a safe place in which to live?
I have heard that Israel is safe place to live, but I believe that you have to obey the law if you live there. Once upon a time, people followed the law in the United States and we did not even have to lock our doors. That was a long time ago before God was removed from our schools.
