*Nod* It is also the myth of the wide open spaces, where every man can find a place and a patch of land to call his own. America is seen as a place with space, and so that is what people want.
The UK is not - it is a place of rolling hills and small tightly woven hamlets and towns & cities that are older than the USA and have WALLS for safety against the maruaders.
THis is all Mythic-style thinking rather than real reality but that is often what counts far more than simple facts.
