It's hilarious how Americans think they can simply move to any other country at the drop of a hat. It's easy for us to VISIT most other nations, but permanently moving is a time consuming process in which you have to prove to have some sort of value to their economy. The only shortcuts are marriage or dual citizenship from birth. Or shitloads of cash to bribe your way in. The majority of people who vowed to move to Canada when Trump took office would be rejected, and that's one of the easier nations to emigrate to.
If an American wants to move to where I live they need to have a job here in advance that either pays USD 70.000 a year or that is on a list of jobs with a labour shortage. Applying alone will cost a USD 1000 fee and they will also need to pay a deposit for mandatory language lessons that they will lose of they don't pass the exam. On top of that comes the significant expenses that comes with moving to another country.
Just moving somewhere else is only an option for those Americans who would be unaffected or benefit from a more authoritarian regime.
Australia is pretty easy, just need to spend $100k on a 3 year degree here and spend another year as a permanent resident
Then you can hop on a plane to NZ without needing a visa, stuff around for a few years and pick an NZ citizenship while you're at it
I've noticed an increase in Americans around Melbourne lately tbh. Several with the same person always talking like they barely know each other and are trying to get to know each other. Maybe sham marriages are up?
