Being an immigrant is tough. I’m desperate to leave but nicer places don’t want Americans and getting a visa let alone citizenship is an uphill battle.

Just go and overstay your visa. People here do it all the time and are celebrated. Just go somewhere with a one way ticket. What could go wrong?

One of my friends did this, she was planning on marrying a British citizen. He tried to move to the US but couldn't find a job. They both moved back to England when he found a position there and she was illegally employed in her profession months before they got married.

They've never moved back to the US and don't plan to at this point.

Do that or some of these women should go have some anchor baby somewhere with birthright citizenship.

Yes, you can do that anywhere. Every country just lets people in & lets them stay as long as they want.

And don’t forget to ask for your free housing, medical, & debit card.

And if you go to college, don’t you dare let them charge you anything but the same or less than they charge their citizens.

And the most important thing is to throw a public fit if you don’t get everything you want.

Have lots of kids too and get excited about all the diversity they will be adding to their communities that will be readily welcomed. I'm sure universities will roll out the red carpet and push them to the front of the line too in front of native born citizens.

And if none of that works, scream racism, sexism, or national privilege hoping to guilt and gaslight your way to the goodies you deserve just for being You.

I don't understand why Americans want to move to, particularly Europe so badly given they pay higher taxes for public services and earn a whole lot less overall. All the high-skilled people limited by their market in Europe move to the United States to earn more than they do in the old continent.

Europe doesn't have free speech or freedom of religion.

people who say 'all talk no action' are so so so so so so dumb.

THIS is why america is going to fail. Not because of all the things 'wrong' with it (although those too) but because americans biggest achilles heel by far is a complete inability to accept and process feedback and constructive criticism.

As someone who moved abroad learned a ton about other cultures and gained a new perspective on the USA - both the bad and the good - definitely just go. Stop talking about it and not doing a damn thing about it walk your talk. You can always come back. Trust me. The grass is NOT greener.

I have enough money and privilege that it doesn't matter for me at 40.

I've also lived in many western and non-western countries that are much worse for women. So I don't believe the grass is greener in another country you just don't understand the depths of systemic oppression of women.

I absolutely hate thinking about all of the women in the US that are trapped with no resources.

Which country do they plan to move to? Make sure they will pass out working visas.

I’ve lived in many places - father is an immigrant. Dh also an immigrant (dual citizenship and 2 passports). I have no desire to live anywhere else and neither does DH. There are so many issues and problems in other parts of the world. The DMV works for us.

You were heard and your feedback was rejected as useless. Can’t always get what you want.

Have you been in a coma for the last decade?

New poster here. I lived in the UK for years and also worked in Germany for a brief period, plus many work trips to offices in Germany. Europeans make substantially less than Americans, especially at professional roles. Salaries are lower. Cost of living is still pretty high, especially in cities where the good jobs are. Many aspects of QoL is lower, such as housing and material comforts. There are some things they do well, such as national health (which still come with plenty of restrictions) and vacation policies. And I do love the cities. But European economies are more moribund and career growth is more limited. You'd be surprised by how many high performing Europeans have actually moved to the US for careers. Dubai is also hugely popular due to jobs and tax free incomes.

Europe also has significant cultural and political challenges. Some economic related, others over mass migration. The latter is an enormous tension point. And, guess what, European countries have stricter abortion laws than blue America (shocker, eh?). The grass is definitely not greener on the other side of the fence and spending a week in a fancy European city center isn't a taste of real life for the typical European. I've seen a particular hysteria and that is totally clueless among young progressive American women who have no idea what life is really like outside the US.

This. I have several European friends, and they all say both Europe and the US have their pros and cons. Careers and entrepreneurship are much more difficult in Europe, and there is tremendous pressure to conform and not do better than everyone else. I’ve even heard stories where someone will start to do well, buys themselves an expensive car, and people will trash it just to keep them in line.

Interestingly many of my American and European friends have moved to Mexico and love it. So Mexico could be an option.

Life is better in Europe. No regrets about leaving the US.
