Man, probably don't be crossing borders in these uncertain times.

You got 2 options:

  1. Remain in the US until the situation is fixed (new president who isn't a fucking fascist, is sworn in, and reverse the damages)

or

  1. Emigrate with the plan being to leave the US permanently

I’m calling it now, the next Democrat President or Congress majority will be in zero hurry to reverse any of the recent hard right moves.

But also won't use them to further anything because that might be effective.

I did #2 four years ago. It took a minute for my family to see why. Now it's damn near too late and they're stuck hoping #1 is viable.

You can technically still leave, the odd of them stopping you when leaving is much less likely than when entering (although, there's still a non-zero chance)

The bigger problem is not the US border agents, but finding a country that would even accept you.

Not many countries desperate for Americans

Yeah nah I'm lucky enough to be a dual citizen, you're stuck with me.

Unless you're white and well-educated
