I think contingency plans are good for everyone, so why not. I have property and bank account in several countries in case the one I'm a citizen of craps out (which I expected might happen with Hildabest).
This means that he not only takes issue with poor immigrants, but also rich immigrants-what about rich minorities as a whole?
Are we the next to be blamed for the plight of Whites in the Rust Belt?
I work in a management position in SV and this has me thinking that perhaps we should at least think about ways to keep our families safe.
It is possible they will try to find someone to blame. We don't know who, and we don't know if the public will buy it. Now conservatives are in control of the 3 branches of government, it's gonna be very hard to find someone to blame if things don't "work out"
Just be careful if you(or anybody else reading this thread) decides to buy property in another country. A lot of scam artists out there just like we have here in the US. Also pay attention to whatever laws this new conservative government decides to pass. No one knows what the future holds, not even them. Many things can happen that can change their plans.

This makes sense.
I have a entire life in 2 other countries( that I love) but I always considered the US to be home-Ive always been an American first regardless as to how integrated I became overseas. Ironically for a while I only kept my house here in case the crap hit the fan in Brazil, but now Im considering sending important items down there.
The Commission speculated that those of German and Italian descent weren't interned en masse because there were too many of them to make it practical. Contextually, 'impractical' meant that they didn't believe that the rural areas would tolerate mass internment of millions of people. Internment of our 3.3 million Muslims or 10+ million illegals would be impractical by virtue of similar scale.
On the other hand, the Japanese may have been safer interned than the German/Italian-Americans who endured what the Commission referred to as 'patriotic harassment.' Many of them fled to Canada as refugees. Also, and there's a sense in which it may be worse than internment, foreign language news outlets were required to publish in English and have their materials approved by the post office. That effectively isolated the non-English speaking population in place.
In any case, mass internments are unlikely. Smaller scale actions are less farfetched.

Jesse Jackson also said, Tech diversity is next civil rights step. Tech industry is too Asian.
What can Jackson and Bannon do? Force tech companies to lay off Asian CEOs? I really doubt it.
Throughout the years, people have predicted the country will come to ruin if a particular candidate was elected. And in every case the country has moved on with little interruption.
We've always had OLD.WHITE.RICH.MALE as presidents, what makes everybody think this time is particularly scary? Give him a chance and it is not that bad.
I am a legal immigrant from India & I voted for Trump. Being 'legal', I had to keep my status by working harder than others at my education & work because thats how the existing system works here. Before your employer applies for your green card, they have to advertise your position for a year & try to find an American citizen to replace you. Only when they cant find one, my petition moves ahead. That means I have to develop more skillsets & work experience than Americans in my profession. If not, I will be easily replaced.
We dont enjoy the privileges & perks that illegal immigrants get here. If your gpa drops or you lose your job, your visa is cancelled & you get deported within 40days. The backlog to get green card for Indians is about 15-20 yrs because there are so many illegals blocking the line. I think it would be great if they get deported. It will clear a lot of backlog. Your country, your rules. If I have a problem with it I should pack my bags & leave the country rather than forming coalitions of ignorants & throwing childish tantrums. Any naturalized citizen is an American so when you say American, you are talking about me whereas an immigrant means who is still on some visa or here illegally. Being a visitor here doesnt give you any rights that citizens enjoy. Work hard & become a citizen like us to claim your rights & benefits.
