I received mine in 2020 and have decided to move back home. The uncertainty in general just keeps me up at night. Feels like the goalposts could move at any moment. I know I'm likely overreacting but it is what it is.

If anything everyone else is under reacting.

You have ICE officers randomly abducting people off appearance alone and then detaining them for days if not weeks. If you were a citizen the whole time, cool who cares.

No one in America has any rights.

That aside, even as someone who's been in this country for generations, I've been exploring options to leave.

America is behind most of the developed world in terms of standards of living. I was in Asia for a while and I felt a fraction of the fear I constantly do at home.

It's not getting better.

Gave back my green card the moment I left the US. No longer wanted the hassle and ties to an unpredictable regime. Haven’t looked back.

I don't think you're overreacting. Received mine in 2020 and decided to move as well.

Not just uncertainty, but the apparent speedrunning of making the US an undesirable place to live compared to other countries.

Where did you move to and what are you doing now? (I'd love to hear from anyone else who's left too)
