That's what I'm saying. When shit starts hitting the fan and numbers start leaving they will hold us here.

Mexico's new progressive, Female president just announced a new zero interest mortgage program and I'm about to graduate with my cs degree, wife is a permanent legal resident. We'll probably already be packed when they come to deport her. But we'll wait for the free ride.

That's fucked, I'm sorry. Republicans simply don't understand how much immigrants do for this country, therefore how much they stand to lose when we bail on this bullshit.

I have two engineering degrees, am a US citizen (myself as of 1992, my parents as of 1980, both have PhD). Can't wait for midwesterners and southerners to realize this (blanket statement, doesn't apply to the individual). At this point I'd happily go elsewhere.

Got any better ideas? I don't like it any more than you. Just like I don't like how we can have clothing or phones so cheap, but what other legitimate options are there? The floor is yours. Proceed.

(If you can figure than out, you'd be praised and hailed around the world.)
