Have you ever wanted to just move to another country and never look back?

I really want to move to the UK. I am in US right now and things are going from bad to worse. The jobs are scarce, the illgals are taking all of the work I am quailified to do at this point. Don't start slamming me, I am NOT singling out any particular group! My government won't enforce the laws on the books and now is wanting to give away SSI benefits to illegals who only have to work here for 18 months! It took my mother almaost 6 years to get tese benefits and she was born here! She had to prove that she was disabled! On top of that, my government is selling off our highways to the highest bidder!

I live in The UK and I can honestly say I don't think its much better this side of the pond. So called asylum seekers get priority when it comes to housing. They recieve all the benefits they could desire and walk around with flash clothes and the latest mobiles. I think the majority of them just come here because this country is a soft touch.
Also if they commit crimes- do they get thrown out and sent back to their own country? Nope, they get sent to prison where, we, the tax payer have to pay for them to be kept...
As for your government selling off you highways- ours sell off schools playing fields and then wonder why more and more of our children are getting obese. Both our governments are corupt in my opinion.

I know exactly what you are talking about. And I'm only seventeen. It's kind of like running away from your problems, thinking that it will get better. But think if you have all these problems now, how much harder it will be to get adjusted to a completely new life in the UK. And having to leave all of your family and friends and people you love. That would be difficult. But I know what you're talking about; our government is doing things that are wrong. But we can fight to stop this from happening.
