I appreciate that Americans who are anti-Trump threaten to leave the country and set their eyes north to Canada, like the world is their oyster and they can move wherever they want. But when another group of people are actually escaping real turmoil and want to move to the U.S. then it becomes a sensitive issue. Such entitlement even in jest.

I am willing to bet the overlap between those wanting to leave the US if Trump becomes president and those who want to keep refuges out of the US is rather small.

^^^^ uh yes, that^^^^ like idk if you realize this but the people not letting other people into our country ARE the Trump supporters and the people who are desperately afraid and/or wanting to leave are the anti-trump people, often Democrats who WANT to take in refugees and immigrants in need. Also, people escaping “real turmoil” sure is a bit of a backhand to the immigrants and immigrants-children in this country facing the very REAL threat of an insane hitler-esque racist running this country who is already threatening to have us all deported immediately. <p>tl;dr: wow stay in your lane there buddy
