To defend the US... - Our economy stinks, unemployment is near 10% - English is the most commonly spoken language - Great diversity of IT jobs - If you have very good IT skills, you can probably find a job - Many great universities to complete your education - Larger population of 300M compared to 60M or 21M - Huge national debt. We need your help paying it off - IT concentrated on the coasts. South-West coast good weather. East coast not so good. - High cost of living on the coasts - Probably very strict emigration rules
