That'd be really mean. Citizens of Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and the ROC should have the right to live and work anywhere in the EEA+Switzerland, and vice versa.
Officials and employees of the U.S. government don't have a "right to work" outside of U.S. territory unless the respective government agrees to it.
Which is why the German government's reaction is pretty half-assed. I mean, they invited the spies who spy on them into our country in the first place.
German democracy: Of the Germans, For the Germans, By the Allied Forces.
Obviously Germany can take care of itself nowadays but for better or for worse, in the eyes of the American government, you guys are still on parole.
It's rather ironic that the American government considers itself a suitable guardian of freedom and democracy these days.
Good luck trying to point out that particular hypocrisy. Hell, the liberals now are just as delusional and arrogant as the conservatives were under George W.
