People outside the US, how do you feel US expats or exiles would do in your country or region? (lemmy.world)

NGL, not asking for a friend. Given the current trends in US politics, it seems prudent to at least look into it.

Most of the online content on the topic seems to be by immigration attorneys hustling ultra rich people. I'm not ultra rich. I have a job in tech, could work remotely, also have enough assets to not desperately need money if the cost of living were low enough.

I am a native English speaker, fluent enough in Spanish to survive in a Spanish speaking country. I am old, male, cis, hetero, basically asexual at this point. I am outgoing, comfortable among strangers.

What's good and bad about where you live? Would it be OK for a outsider, newcomer?

Why would I want people from a less privileged country coming here and stealing our jobs, putting a burden on our healthcare system and making housing even more expensive?

Congratulations America, you're now the english language Mexico... with worse Tacos.

Hey not cool don't diss Mexico like that

This is what so many don't understand. Other countries don't want us. Why would they?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If you have some skill that they are short on. That is the main reason. In that way you aren’t just some filthy American, your a skilled worker.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

That excludes most of us. For example I'm a pricing analyst. Doubt they'd even need me, let alone all the people working retail or customer service positions.

Yeah most of the auto mechanics probably voted for Trump, but a lot didn't. We have a ton of people working in restaurants, driving for Lyft, etc.

Most people are fucked.
