The difference is that people from the US and UK are generally welcommed in other countries. People from Sudan have a much harder time being let into other countries
As tourists, sure. But getting a work visa/residence permit is not as easy as you think.
And second of all, what do you expect? An entire country to up an leave? That's stupid beyond measure. Won't that entire country elect the same government wherever else they end up in?
LOL
1- Its correct that its not easy to get a residence permit, but it is a lot easier if you are entering from the US/UK than if you are coming from Sudan.
2- I don't expect people leaving the US, to want to live like they did in the US. So assuming that they would want to create a similar life outside the US is kind of childish, and not even possible in most countries.
That said, it's a figure of speech. You're taking it too far and too literal
