Are you certain of that? If so, it's very comforting to know. It didn't seem to be the case in 2016 and 2017 when we looked into it. America simply was not on any possible asylum lists.

In any event now, we're kind of locked in. My son has begun his path to becoming a doctor. He will be a qualified EMT in June of this year and will be in an apprenticeship program which will pay for his college to become a paramedic; he wil then be able to work as a paramedic through medical school, thus graduating with little to no school debt. If we had to flee, he would likely lose all that opportunity to follow his calling to be an emergency medicine doctor.
