@clacke Nope. When I was in my early twenties, I wanted to work in DE or UK for a few years, but there was never any money to pay for going. Now? I'd love to visit for a couple of weeks, but I have zero desire to live there.
Plus, they've got some racism issues that sound like visiting Mississippi. I can visit MS without going through customs.

Not better at all. But having lived in DE as a child, it is a valid point to make. One need not deal with national customs and immigration authorities because one can get physically attacked for one's ancestry in Mississippi without all that hassle.

@hypolite @clacke True, my experiences and observations in DE 50+ years ago did not involve the police. But even before the current rise of right wing thugs there, physical confrontations happened. And there's history, too.
I have never been to FR, so I have no opinion about their issues.
I'm not saying (as you seem to be interpreting it) that DE is as bad as MS. It does not have to be the equal of Mississippi to be bad enough that it is not worthwhile to go there to live.
