Is the New American Dream to Leave?
Why are people leaving the United States
According to the Brookings Institute¹, in the year 2025 more people left the United States then came in for the first time in over 50 years. This is a trend that will continue due to the uncertain conditions many Americans face. Watch their stories here and learn what their motivation was to give up everything they had to pursue a better life.

My name is Nick Petrillo and I am an independent journalist out of Washington D.C. I moved my family to the Netherlands under the DAFT visa. We moved to give our family a better life, and we our not alone. Millions of Americans are facing hard times due to authoritarian control, which has led to over policing, higher prices, and an overall worse quality of life. My passion is to tell stories of expats like myself who decided to make the big move away from the U.S.A.
