Why did 20 million people over the last 4 years sneak into America? How many Americans left for Yugoslavia?

How many Yugoslavs left for America?

>>saubei+Z
Were they allowed to leave?

Usually the sign of the fairest and most humane systems of government and economy is when people get shot in the back by border guards if they try to escape.

Generally yes. Unlike Soviet occupied Eastern Europe, most regular people in Yugoslavia were able to obtain passports and travel internationally. There were some people barred from leaving or held as political prisoners.

>>carlos+Oz
Yes. The Yugoslav passport was the strongest in the world at the time - the only one you could freely travel both West and East with.

>>Walter+(OP)
Ah yes, taking the last 4 years post pandemic, in the midst of massive climate change, and in a near world war and then comparing it to 60+ years ago in the height of the Cold War and US global dominance.

You should change your name to Walter Dim.

Ever been to Cleveland or Pittsburgh or Chicago or Long Beach?

Google says: "Between 1950 and 1989, approximately 73,000 people immigrated to the United States from Yugoslavia"

I couldn't find any statistics of Americans leaving for Yugoslavia.

That and the fact he’s taking the statistics of the last 4 years when all countries of the former Yugoslavia were capitalist, ironically.
