@RedOct,
It must be an older article as well because there are close to 4 million American's living abroad now. But, it doesn't go into the fact that many of these are going to school, serving missions, working, etc.
Also, if you notice most of these stories are 15 years old and don't seem to be very well documented.
I just googled and found the article and it was written in 1993.
I look at it with the attitude of - Then why in the heck do we have such a big problem with illegal immigration if it's so darn bad here????
