    No offense to Americans, I understand some of you are great people, but I wouldn’t need much of a reason to leave America at this point. If not for my safety, then for my sanity. If not for my sanity, then for eggs.

      Reason, sure. Ability? That’s something else. Most of us don’t have enough money to make the journey. I don’t know of many places that would even accept us as immigrants without a substantial monetary value/donation or work skill, plus the language skills we don’t have because schools don’t teach foreign languages well or at all.

      Who would even have us all?

        I assume they don’t charge you to get deported so there’s a free ticket there and I’m no geographist but there’s a couple countries that also use english as their official language

          They’re deporting us to concentration camps, not countries. They absolutely aren’t determining where you should go. Alligator Auschwitz, CECOT, the one they’re building in Guantanamo… It’s not a free ticket to another country and freedom. It’s a long road to death.

          And those countries won’t accept you if they think you might be a “burden” on their social services budget/infrastructure. Young, in the prime of career, in-demand skills, maybe a job offer, or just filthy rich? OK, maybe you can get in. Maybe. But if you’re older or just a regular schmuck without any family in those countries to depend on, then probably not.
