Most Americans don’t realize that the U.S. is by far the easiest developed country to immigrate to, by a country mile. It’s still an incredibly difficult feat, but our standards are really, really low. For most developed countries, you’ll need to have a specialized, useful education, a significant amount of capital on-hand, a clean bill of health, and you’ll need to learn a new language.

My “plan” for a Trump election is to try and get a student visa to complete my PhD in neuroscience, and then I’ll overstay and escape to the European wilderness as an illegal immigrant. I wouldn’t hold my breath for a promise of asylum.

Most European countries offer PhDs in English and have a rule where if you actually graduate in that country and get a job in the same field, you can stay.

If you can afford to pay for the school. Even the nations that have free universities only offer it for courses taught in the native tongue.

Of course, educational cost is so absurd in America right now that can still be cheaper. US federal education grants can even be received in some of those countries.
