    I had a girlfriend with a PhD working at a national lab, who also had a family with tens of millions of dollars (Euros, I guess actually). She was worried if she didn’t get a job after her residency or whatever was done, she’d have to leave the country. If she doesn’t feel secure I can only imagine for people without advanced education and wealth.

      Yeah pretty much that. A lot of people think getting a job and work permit = immigration. It’s not. I’m not uprooting my life to move to a country only to get kicked out 2 presidents later.
