What a boneheaded reply. Don’t be a fuckwit. Cut the ableism, lack of awareness, personal privilege, and national differences. What are people with disabilities supposed to do? People who don’t or can’t drive? People talking care of their infirmed family? People without the thousands of dollars needed to enter a country and live there without a job until they find one that will sponsor them?
According to you, they should take the risk on being sent back to the US poorer than when they started, end up homeless in a strange place, and/or let their family members die alone without support.
I say this as a US citizen trying to get out and having done a TON of digging into what it takes to leave here specifically and go to a European country. There’s more involved than you seem to know. And a boatload of risks.
True family would support you leaving them to find a better life. They’d be sad but happy for you. Happens every day all over the world in all families.
Is it ableist, yep probably. And it sucks, but if you have the means, use it. Don’t waste the opportunity. Build the networks, make a life elsewhere and then get your family out to join you. Why do you think families pool their resources to send their fittest, youngest and most economically likely to succeed across borders or on boats to Europe, or walking to the US for example. The “where are the families of this isn’t an invasion” crowd are either stupid or purposely dog whistling when they say this btw.

Not everyone lives where and how you do.
