PS - Saying you want to move because of Trump makes one sound crazy. (FTR, I’m a very liberal Democrat.)

What Trump is doing to the country is insane. Who wants to live in the USA now if they don’t have to?

Millions upon millions of illegal immigrants; that’s kinda how he got elected in the first place.

Anyone gone through a similar situation?

Bye!

Meawhile, that Mahmoud Khalil guy is out and continuing to make an a-hole of himself as he rails against this country that he wants to stay in.

I might have an ounce of sympathy for what you wrote if it wasn’t for the fact he is protesting against the genocide in Gaza. It’s a moral travesty and a deep source of shame for the US to enable Israel.

So that is why he is so determined to stay in a country that does not share his politics?
It's not like he is from here. He voluntarily came to a place he disagrees with.
It is as perplexing as emigrating to China if you disagree with the country. Which makes me think he is just a malcontent troublemaker.
He holds Algerian citizenship, claimed to be afraid for his life if he deported to Syria and had no answer when asked if he was afraid while he visited there on a leisure trip just prior to his arrest.

I'd start by not watching the news and doing positive things in your life like taking up a new hobby. Then this crazy ass idea will start to fade.

Stock market up. Inflation down. Border under control. Tariffs bringing in money. Yeah, it’s hell out there.

Just take her and leave. If you are her legal guardian it's unlikely the government will go after her or you, especially if she is a citizen of the same country. I actually worry that my husband will take my kids to England sometimes because sometimes she looks back at that cesspool island with rose colored goggles. That usually when I organize a trip there and the goggles come off. His country has gone downhill faster than ours. For example, one Sunday morning we went for a stroll through town with our kids before the shops opened. My daughter was so disgusted by the pigeon eating last night's vomit as she's never seen that before. Seriously, we live in a bigger city than we were in and I've never had to walk through last night's vomit. Or last summer when we kept getting alerts on our phones to stay out of the city centers due to civil unrest - we don't get that here - we just don't. My husband didn't have that as a child, so he gets a stark reminder the old country has also changed with time.

Ignore this asinine advice. Google Hague Convention.

Your assumptions are all backwards so of course it makes no sense to you.

He came to one of the greatest academic institutions in the world—the kind the US used to treat as the crown jewels they are (including via recognizing the ways that international students and scholars have contributed to that lineage. So no, it’s not the country’s politics he is here for—that used to be allowed. He cared deeply about the institution’s policies with respect to those politics; they were what he was protesting—appropriately, as a full citizen of Columbia University.

At the time when he did it, the US was a liberal democracy and not a state where one’s access to due process varied with one’s political opinions. So no, it was not like emigrating to China.

The conclusion that he is a “malcontent troublemaker” does not follow from
any of this.

Your man has managed to change the terms of the debate rapidly. It does not make false things true retroactively—and over the long term (and there always is one), this movement he leads will lose.

The United States was built by immigrants. It's kinda how we started and became the most powerful country in the world.

I'm one of those and I will stay.

We're optimistic about a regime change after the orange becomes juice. I have zero intent to leave the country my forefathers built and fought for. This is just another low among many in our history where the stong will survive.

Millions of LEGAL immigrants also want to live here - like my British husband.

With all the mass shootings in this country it’s a gamble living here.

If we hadn't let in so many illegals then we wouldn't be in this situation.

Go read actual data about who commits most firearm homicides in the US.

Don’t ask Fix or some bro podcast. Read actual data. You are frighteningly uninformed!!

Most urban cities di not report crime statistics by immigration status.

Whatever are you in about? Plenty of countries offer the same or better opportunities. Denmark, Sweden and Finland all rank higher than the US in the Global Opportunity Index created by the Milken Institute. And I would venture their flaws pale compared to the structural issues plaguing this country.

Denmark, Sweeden and Norway have almost zero diversity.

Denmark, Sweeden and Norway have almost zero diversity. That is a negative.
