Gregory's Server@mcnknopp @JoanGrey @cstross when it reaches that point, it's already too late. Even people who saw the Nazis coming and applied for refugee status, e.g. Otto Frank, father of Anne Frank, who moved to the Netherlands and tried to emigrate to the US in 1938 and 1941 (he was rejected both times, with the consequences we know).

My husband is a British citizen, we live four hours from the Canadian border, I figure if things go bad, I won't be (as awful as this sounds) in the first wave.
I know *exactly* why people were rejected by the US (it's not like we've really *changed* as a country, in some ways), but I fall, extremely luckily, into a slightly less at-risk group.
I'm also willing to walk away from everything, if push comes to shove. I have read history.
