When I think about the immigrants coming to Ellis Island, lots of those people had nothing. They sold everything to afford the trip to the US and risked everything. Same thing today with immigrants coming to America literally on foot carrying their only worldly possessions, risking everything on a trip through the desert for the chance at a better life.

So when people say, “it’s not a practical solution,” yeah, I get it’s not ideal, but it’s possible to be poor and relocate. And if you’re in fear for your life, that means it’s something you need to do, regardless of how difficult it is.
