Americans Race for Europe to Escape Trump

More Americans are exploring emigration to escape the Trump administration, but those looking to Europe are seeing their options narrow by the day. Restrictions on skilled worker visas, tougher rules on citizenship-by-ancestry programs, and pressure on the once widespread Golden Visa program are all eroding the legal avenues Americans, and other migrants, can take to live in Europe. Popular nations such as Italy, which once offered flexible rights to those who could show ties to the country, are making the move more difficult. One American said: "We want to exit. I'm at my maximum capacity of witnessing this." Archived source: Link One

Academics, scientists, physicians, and researchers will have less problems finding ways to the EU or Canada as some governments have already expressed interest in accepting them, resulting in a brain drain for the US. Jan to Apr 2024 saw a 16% increase in the number of Americans hired by European companies. I am personally aware of one aerospace engineer and his family who made their way to Ontario, Canada.

"Get out while you can! Remember, never come back."

Come back to what? When you are done with the place Somalia will look like a better option.

People with money, education, and no other ties will leave. What exactly do you have to offer but cruelty and a low standard of living?

No, just weak and angry liberals. See ya! How ironic though that the countries they want to go to won't accept them.

Weakness is surrendering democracy to a con man just because you think he'll give you a tax cut.

Have fun over in Europe when you learn how much 1A really protected you.

I am happy to see these losers go - unfortunately, Europe wants them to move there like they want the Palestinians to move there. These losers are finding out that gender studies degrees are not considered skilled workers in Europe and therefore don't qualify. When they say they want to leave because of free national healthcare and better welfare programs, Europe slams the door on them.
