  • Yeah, immigration laws in other countries are very difficult. The US’s immigration policies are vastly easier, even with the politics and bureaucratic hurdles, quotas and lotteries, because there are at least legal pathways for people without tens of millions of dollars. If I wanted to become a citizen in any other first world country it basically can’t be done. I could get a permanent visa in some of those countries because of my education and profession - but never citizenship.

    Now some of those countries may be opening up their citizenship process to take advantage of the brain drain. The US is going to lose so much more than just money. It’s truly heart breaking.

  • It literally means freedom from consequences by the government. Not from society. Sure he could’ve been a social pariah and people would’ve been within their rights to ostracize him. But it is unconstitutional for our government to threaten him with legal action as a result of his politics.
