    Most Americans have absolutely no clue how involved the immigration process actually is. Unless you have specific skills, have immediate family in the country youā€™re going, or are loadedā€¦ 95 times out of 100 youā€™re not going anywhere.

    Although where thereā€™s a will thereā€™s a way. You get a tourist visa, overstay, marry a local.

    Iā€™m glad Iā€™m a dual citizen with money stashed away in both the US and the country I was born. If shit gets too bad in the US, I can lay low elsewhere while things calm down.

      Yepā€¦ and if you managed to pass the initial barriers of immigration, but have elderly parents that youā€™re concerned about, thereā€™s 0 chance theyā€™re getting into the country you were allowed into unless theyā€™re already loaded. Thatā€™s the only way for the elderly.
