Yeah, but what about their kids?

Michael mentioned emigration from the U.S. I discovered when I did my State
of the USA Atlas that exact numbers on this are very hard to come by.
Counting emigrants, a demography librarian told me, is considered
embarrassing. But the best estimates are that 1/3 of the people who come to
the U.S. eventually leave, mostly to return to the home country, and this
has been true for a long time.
