        Plenty of options, but you’ll be hard-pressed to target something specific without both skills and money.

        The easiest option available to many Americans is to see if you can prove ancestry from a country with jus sanguinis citizenship that you have a direct link to. Some countries need it to be within a generation or two, other countries don’t have a specific cutoff point. But anticipate a long, bureaucratic process and costs to have documents translated.

        The other easiest option is to marry a citizen of another country and move there together. But good luck with that.

        But if either of those aren’t options, you’re going to have a hard time if you don’t have a college degree and don’t have experience working in a desired field.

          It has to be a real marriage tho, like you have to be actually in love and not just doing it for the sole purpose of immigration benefits (otherwise it could be considered fraud).

      It’s been the US for me for over a decade. Never going back there, most likely. And I was only visiting.

      Keeps going? I’ve been avoiding it for decades and I can see it from my porch.

      Last time I visited the customs office emptied out into a literal ghetto. Like, an entire 4 blocks of ought-to-be-condemned housing with rusted out patchwork wrecks abandoned in yards and on the street (or worse following behind you). The corner gas station had more security features than most prisons in Canada, and every street sign had numerous bullet holes. That was their welcome mat 2 decades ago. F that shithole country.

      I was thinking they were all fine enough, but actually you’re right. At least in the short term it doesn’t seem remotely worth it.
