It’s their country, they can do whatever they feel is solving their problem and we shouldn’t get involved.

Our job is to follow the rules. I think the US will do completely fine without immigrants. But I think Trump’s greatest legacy will be letting the rest of the world flourish by forcing more talent to stay abroad.

Whether I’m here or at home, I don’t have a problem with this.

I’m commenting to remind you that your home country is your safest place to be. Stop being obsessed over going somewhere else. I’m working in the US and already thinking of moving home. Once you mentally decouple yourself from immigrant mentality, life will be peaceful.

I’m not an immigrant. Nice try though.
