Why do you consider people from Chicago moving to the South "refugees"? They are moving for better weather, lower taxes, and more jobs. Those are very normal reasons, not "refugee" reasons.

Moving to the South is not a lower-class Chicago specific thing, in fact wealthy Jews are moving from New York to Florida. Are they refugees too?

I don't consider them refugees. You were the one setting the bar at what South American refugees can achieve. Which taken at face value would imply you considered anyone who could not afford to move worse off than a South American refugee.

However I consider your claim that 99.9% of Americans can afford to move to a neighboring state highly suspect. I am awaiting a source for that, even a news article.
