Not explicitly planning on it currently, but it is something that's in the back of my head. If denaturalizations do start happening, we would have a frank conversation about what to do. I don't know that we would stay in America. The tail risks would simply be too high.

I don't know, its frightening to think about. I don't think its LIKELY, yet. but i cant say its UNTHINKABLE anymore.

"If denaturalizations do start happening" sounds much too late to start talking about it. Best to be prepared sooner than later with how quickly everything is regressing.

I agree. I really hope it doesn't get that bad, but there are still 3.5 years left...

They very very obviously at this point aren’t going to voluntarily leave office.

You should make a plan now. If they start rounding people up, you are already on that list. I guarantee you that they will grab you faster than you can plan and execute an international move that uproots your entire life.

You don't need to act, but talk with your wife. Make a plan of where you would go, check all the requirements and start ticking the boxes, know how to apply, keep a list of what will need to come with you, etc.

Consider talking to an immigration lawyer about how you can prepare for if the worst happens.

Like maybe you can have a playbook ready or something. Or have her documents all collected in one place.

(I don't have any expertise here, just spitballing ideas that may be useful.)
