A lot of the #immigration conversation is also people who have never emigrated hearing about visas for the first time.
‘You can only work for one employer? You have to leave if you lose your job? You have to have money to get a visa?’
Yes, that’s how visas work. Not saying I agree: it causes a lot of stress, but that is how visas work, generally. Everywhere.
@skinnylatte In the US, we're so accustomed to our passports just being taken everywhere, i think lots of ppl (most of the US doesn't travel internationally but a lot that do as well) don't realize the work that goes into not needing visas for travel.
@cam that’s only for tourist travel. Trying to live somewhere else as an American is also arduous. Less than other passports sometimes, but still work.
@cam my passport is more powerful than the American one and I’d never assume I can just live somewhere Visa-free!
@skinnylatte oh ya, that's true, and tbh i think american exceptionalism and western chauvinism do a lot of work to get people to literally never think of leaving the us permanently
