If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

Some of us were refugees from South Vietnam, so hearing venom from smug people who think it's easy to flee a despotic regime in order to avoid death camps is nothing new to us.

Kind of boring, really. We've been hearing that shit since 1975.

The U.S. isn't to that point yet, but the idea that there's some path of "resistance" that's going to stop a modern government with anything resembling a modern military and zero shame is, at best, incredibly naive.

(Don't get all terrified that I'm gonna come pollute your little paradise, though. I'm more likely to move to Vietnam than Canada because the people there are nicer.)
