If you are in the US illegally, there are both income tax and immigration implications. We would also need to buy extended Travel Medical Insurance, but that would be no problem. Believe me, we'd stay longer in the US if the US government would let us!

It's an issue that irks me, because there is no such thing as a Retiree Visa. There should be; it would put more money into the US economy. There are a lot of Canadians and Brits who would stay longer and spend more money. We own a house in TV, pay taxes year round, but can only occupy it for 182 days in a calendar year. We'd love to stay longer, and retirees spend money when they're in the US without placing any drain on schools or any US resources. There is a bill in Congress right now which would allow Canadians to stay longer than 182 days. But there isn't much focus on it, or interest in passing it.
