Most of these are not places any American would want to live - Vietnam? Uh, no. Bolivia? That would be a double no.
BUT! Note that in none of these countries can you just decide to go live there. You must show some form of income and means to support yourself, and most have a strict process for temporary or permanent residency. You can pretty much forget becoming a legal citizen (not that you'd want to do that anyway).
So honestly, I don't want to hear about the US immigration policy being so horrible. We are disgustingly lax in enforcing our immigration laws. We don't even require immigrants to be able to read our traffic signs before we give them a driver's license.
