    Don’t BS people with this. Asylum sucks like jail and countries within reach aren’t going to offer it.

    The actual “only options” involve large amounts of money and/ or abandoning your social standing. These are more realistic than asylum.

      Losing social standing is implied. The options are:

      • Shallow grave
      • Being hunted
      • Jail
      • Undocumented
      • Asylum <– better than / worse than
      • Working abroad
      • Vacation
      • Large amounts of money

      Maybe you think “asylum = jail”, I don’t think that. Based on historical precedent, jail is more likely to lead to a shallow grave than asylum.

        You are right about jail being likely to lead to a shallow grave but would you share more about what you think Asylum is like? I have lots of 1st hand experience around jails but none around asylum, I just know asylum seekers who have compared it to jail.
