    Losing social standing is implied. The options are:

    • Shallow grave
    • Being hunted
    • Jail
    • Undocumented
    • Asylum <– better than / worse than
    • Working abroad
    • Vacation
    • Large amounts of money

    Maybe you think “asylum = jail”, I don’t think that. Based on historical precedent, jail is more likely to lead to a shallow grave than asylum.

      You are right about jail being likely to lead to a shallow grave but would you share more about what you think Asylum is like? I have lots of 1st hand experience around jails but none around asylum, I just know asylum seekers who have compared it to jail.

            As I said:

            At some point, some countries will start granting asylum to US refugees.

            I’m a EU citizen. Some people want to copy the US, but we’re still at the “trying to stop them” phase, not at the “impending doom” phase.
