Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in. The Trump administration has hailed the exodus—negative net migration—as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas. Beneath the stormy optics of that immigration crackdown, however, lies a less-noticed reversal: America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves and their families in lands they find more affordable and safe.
Americans are immigrating to other countries, they just like to call themselves X-Pats® because they think immigrant is a dirty word
I’m going to be a pedant and say they are emigrating to other countries.
E.g. Fewer people are immigrating to the US as it speed runs fascism. Many Americans, however, are emigrating to other countries.
Emigrate is to leave ones country to live in another, immigrate is to come to a country to live.
Many said people are moving to avoid this type of narrow minded perspective from others in the US… Educated folks know anti-immigration is a tactic of emotional control by the ruling class.
And yapping on twitter complaining about the locals and missing their life back home. #TakeMeBack

No, no! They are “replanting themselves and their families”.
