Leaving the US is too expensive for most of us to even consider.

it costs thousands and thousands of dollars to leave the country. meanwhile, many Americans couldn’t afford a 400$ surprise bill. I don’t blame people for leaving but the costs are usually upwards of 25k/person.

It does not cost thousands. It does cost a few hundred dollars.

Legally emigrating to a new country takes a lot of effort, but even doing it illegally (by buying a ticket and overstaying your tourist visa) would take at least a few thousand dollars, for the flight plus expenses for a few months while you find some income

There are loads of countries in South America where you can get a visa in a few months.

It coated me a couple hundred dollars. I didn’t even speak Spanish, and I didn’t need to hire an immigration lawyer. People who pay thousands do it because they want a lawyer to do all the work for them.
