    I would take american refugees.

    Of course they would have to answers questions from the police regarding their complicity in the Gaza genocide, especially around their vote in a specific elections where both candidates supported genocide.

    But don’t worry after a few month in jail you’ll be able to walk freely

    Costa Rica 🇨🇷

    Our country attracts a lot of American tourists, they mainly go to the beaches and national parks but I have seen them on my city sometimes

    I’m fine with it, I highly suggest you learn Spanish since we are a Spanish-speaking country, and you can only see English on the tourist areas

    Also if you want to become a citizen you need to do some sort of exam that for most foreign people is hard. Just so y’all know

    I think I’d like to move to Canada. However, I have no money, and do not have a degree or anything like that. I think the plant I work at has operations in Canada, so there might be the possibility of transferring there. Even if the opportunity presented itself, I refuse to leave my son, so I am stuck here.

      I moved US -> CA, so AMA

      My experience so far: I instantly made a bunch of friends and the locals seem happy to have me here. Many are curious about the US, many also understand what’s going on. I don’t experience the same level of elitism I’m used to back in the states as an immigrant (even after 2+ decades). There is also SIGNIFICANTLY less catcalling, I somehow get way more compliments??? Oh and did you know ketchup was actually supposed to taste good? (Hint: it’s all the corn syrup)

      Canada is a lovely country ❤️🇨🇦

    Non-murican - strongly feel preference should be given to genuine refugees fleeing war, famine etc where they have absolutely no ability to influence their fate other than escape. The US is a failed democracy but the people there have barely begun to challenge their government compared to what we have seen elsewhere in the world. And there is still refuge available in blue states. US citizens need to stand up and fight and then if they fail and only then do they get to go in the queue with the genuine humanitarian refugees. I don’t like queue jumpers and sorry but you can’t compare impingement on your civil liberties to families in war torn parts of the world living in fear fear of having their limbs blown off every night.

    Ofcourse business around the world would like to cherry pick talent for in demand jobs and prefers not to invest in developing local people when they can import experienced talent for less so people with in demand skills will get in that way, not as refugees.

    For anyone who’s thinking UK, I’d advise not - we’re about 4-5 years behind you in terms of imminent fascism and whilst there’s still technically a chance to avert it, its very unlikely - especially since Starmer is being even more awful than the Tories.

    Canada if possible. My family only speaks English, but willing to “do the thing” to fit in even if that’s learning a new language.

    I’d also be ok with UK, Australia, New Zealand.

    last places would be Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Japan. I know living in these places would be an extreme challenge for my family so that’s why they’re bottom of my list.

    I’d be in Aukland now if I hadn’t met my partner between deciding in 2021 and the election. She is a refugee and can’t leave or she’ll lose status. She is a political enemy of her government for advocating for democracy there. Did a phone interview and everything.
