As we look here in town and elsewhere for jobs the possibility of going to a new country crops up. Temp or permanent? What do we do with our stuff? Our dog has been quarantined for EU countries for over four years – will anyone allow her to come with us?
What language do we need to learn? Is it safe to live there? Do I need to cover my face and hair and be banned from buying groceries without my husband present? There will be no brothers or uncles present to guarantee my safety.
Americans are considering going overseas for employment. Think about that Mr. President and Congress. All our Senator can provide is to require anyone with a home computer to keep everyone’s data on it for two years to give to law enforcement officials. That means anyone who emails, or talks to us on the phone, in order to keep children safe.
I think Mr. Cornyn has bigger fish to fry. His people are out of work and other countries don’t want to let US citizens in on a work visa. Yes, US citizens are considering going to other countries to find work.
Please let the market fix this. Giving money to these weasels doesn’t help anyone but the top 10%, The guys who broke it aren’t about to fix it. They’ll just take the money and go. Or not go, which is worse?
As a US citizen for fifty years I plead for you to not pressure us to go to another country for work. You, our elected representatives, can do better than that. Fitfully, Dee
