    Are they actually taking anyone though? Everywhere I’ve looked has been like “the us isn’t actively killing LGBT people, so we don’t count it as refugee.”

    I also just simply do not have the liquid resources. I can sell some stuff - but what then? Sleep on the streets in a country I’ve never lived in before? I guess people cross the Darien gap, but I’m also just physiologically broken now. My nervous system doesn’t work correctly - I have experienced actual torture. I can’t organize a plan to finish my graduate degree, much less get across a National border.

      Well, by your own words the alternative is death. So if you truly believe that you won’t survive this administration then yeah, hop across the border as a tourist and just don’t leave.

      Wait it out for as long as possible, there’s a non- zero chance that you will be accepted for asylum in the future if things keep going the way they are.
