Celebs leaving America question.

One thing I can say is that, between my region and the west coast, over time I've met a number of Americans who had moved up here. Several have been school teachers, one is a very fine woodworker and custom-cabinet maker. Another lives up in the cold-winter Chilcotin region, and is a luthier who builds classical guitars (his wife is a published photographer). One is the best upholsterer in the region.

Another one, once immigrated, was a logger and eventually ran for the provincial legislature, and served notably for more than 10 years. Another one is a paramedic, and also does residential medical visits to elderly people who are housebound. One is a science-educated woman who runs the best, most trusted water-testing lab in our region.

One (passed away about a year ago) opened a very fine bookstore, and in the room next door she sold fine-crafted women's clothing. She employed people, too.

I don't think any of them is "the shallowest of the shallow".

You're missing the back-story....some celebs said they will leave the US if this last election didn't go there way. It didn't.

If they left due to the results of the recent election it doesn’t change my opinion of them as entertainers but it certainly does change my opinion of them as Americans.

It changes my opinion of them as Americans because it's apparent they don't know how our system of gov't works, and I think Americans should know this....Americans over 18, at least. But maybe they've been too busy entertaining and checking in with their managers and financial advisors to think about it.

Some were looking for an excuse to get out of California anyway. The rest is just spin.
Has anyone relocated that wasn't in California? :unsure:

Having been born in France of American parents, I do wish the French government would allow those born there to reside there. If I had the money, I would love to live in Provence.. ...
 
I had to give up my nationality in order to be naturalized here in th USA. I had no problem doing so as I knew I would be living here the rest of my life and wanted to be able to participate fully in my civil duties here.
My mother-in-law was Canadian and married an American. She had a dual nationality.

You mean allegiance to your nation of origin, yes? It's not possible to give up your nationality. I mean, sure, I can identify as a tall Dutchman, but I'll always be a rather short Irish-Italian...technically.

Same here. Now the laws have changed.

I read you and your definition of nationality intrigued me, so I looked it up. The definition of nationality I read is: " where they are a legal citizen, usually in the country where they were born" "the status of belonging to a particular nation".
That is how I interpret nationality as well. What you describe I see it as origin, more of a cultural thing.
