I appreciate the optimism and recognize that people going through shit need to hear that kind of thing, but the fact is that immigrating anywhere is way way tougher than it needs to be, and lots of people won't be able to at all because they were born in the wrong country, or just don't have the money or connections required.
I'm not saying that anyone who's trying to make the journey should give up, I'm saying that all of the rest of us should be demanding our rulers make this less of a struggle
First off, I'm not talking about immigrating.
I'm talking about joining a volunteer program where the government pays for a person to be somewhere outside the US, get trained, improve skills, and do work to help other people. Clever people can use that as an opportunity to be out for as long as you want. Grad school in the UK could be next, or some other job. It's a lot easier to get a job outside the US when you're already out.
