    Asylum? Not a lawyer either but I suppose that travelers should prove(!) that staying in the US is dangerous personally(!) to them. You can’t get asylum just because you don’t like the government. At least I think that is how it works :)

      I think pointing at the anti-trans sentiment and legislation that is being pushed should be enough, but I am a lefty, so I have no power.

        Doubt that “sentiments” are enough. I would expect the need of proved fact of being prosecuted in the process. Or something like that.

        I heard a piece on the Dutch news of gay Americans and parents of trans kids already applied for asylum. Will take a while before we’ll hear if they’re actually granted asylum but there are already people trying. They are personally affected though, and felt unsafe enough to leave their country behind so I’m not sure this is valuable information for someone who just dislikes their government.

        Also in my life I’ve met a bunch of people who moved here, they didn’t come across as all being from a single economic class but didn’t check their payslips.
