I hear you both re: people's attitudes towards other nations. I really feel sorry for people who don't want to leave behind what they think of as "comforts" of the USA....The world is an amazing place...
I wonder if the process for applying for a passport could be a deterrent at all? I know it was a bit daunting and frustrating when I applied (first, finding a location, and then finding one that could take my application at X time)...The cost associated with it is nothing to sneeze at either...Should it be that expensive?
Just a thought...
