i haven’t traveled a lot but i can tell you in the little bit that i have and the massive amount of people that i know and work with from other countries. the US is a police state however there are still financial opportunities like no other place on earth.
from the people that i know from European countries and Slavic countries they do not want to go to stay in the US for the most part they are happy with getting their work visa and being a contractor on a US project.
the people that i know from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the Philippines and others in that same socioeconomic bracket they would give their left nut to go the US to live and work. some would take whole family some would just send $$ home as they do from here.
freedom isn’t free. most people do not realize that it isn’t really a right to be free it is earned through vigilance and sometimes through violence
