Why not widen your job search -- overseas?

In a recent op-ed in Foreign Policy, economist Charles Kenny argued in favor of sending America's unemployed overseas, to countries where jobs are more plentiful.

"Exporting the unemployed may sound radical, even cruel, but the quest for jobs has been a driving force behind global migration — and population growth in the New World — for centuries," he wrote. "More than 55 million Europeans, many desperate and poor, migrated to the Americas between 1846 and 1940, for example — often with a 'good riddance' from their home governments."
