Red white and blue
 

Nowhere but usa

Yoda, I am curious; did you use the word nation vs country
 

for any specific reason?
Have been a globe trotter my working life I have an excellent basis for vigorously stating, there is no place like the good old USA for me and my family.

I am very hawkish about the protection of it's core values and what it's founders intended.

btk

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA and The USA

There is no place like home but the food in Italy and the wine in France.....

Easy
 

I lived in 20 different countries and am in love with the USA.

One thing tho the beer in England is the best.

North America
 

Preferably the United States of America.:eclipsee_gold_cup:

Huh?
 

I wouldn't rather be anything... I'm already an American!

I would rather be a citizen of the USA. Then I could live in The Villages full time.

Sadly, as a Canadian, (and Brits are the same), the U.S. Government only allows us to stay in the USA 182 days in a calendar year. There is no type of "retirement visa" available to us. Even though we own property and pay real estate taxes in Florida. :cry:

So let me see if I have this straight. You play by the rules and can only stay in USA for 182 days a year. An estimated 12 million illegals do not play by the rules and they stay here 365 days of the year.
If you stayed here longer would they deport you? Seems like there are different set of rules for different people?

Yes Donna, there are definitely different sets of rules for different people. I'm not sure how millions of illegals manage to live and work in the USA. Perhaps by claiming refugee status?

Canadians and Brits are limited to 182 days in a calendar year. And sadly, there is no such thing as a "retiree visa".

I've spoken with Immigration Lawyers because my wish would be to live in The Villages 100% of the time. I would definitely be willing to give up my "free" Canadian health care and purchase health care in the US if I could live in Florida full time.

We limit our stay to 182 days because we don't wish to be in the US illegally. Our passports are scanned at the border. If we were to stay in the US for more than 182 days and then travel, we could be permanently denied re-entry to the US. And of course we don't want to risk that, as we own a home in The Villages.

How Inane
 

Of course (those of us who are American) we love America first. What are we going to require McCarthyite loyalty oaths now? Or did you set up this question for some astro-turf "gotcha."

I don't see your flag pin! Where's your flag pin?! You must be a muslim-commie!
