Would you rather...

Pay $100,000 to gamble on the opportunity to live in a hostile fascist country where any day you can be kidnapped and trafficked to the worst country the USA can find, or
Get a job in some other country?

It's a tough choice. I'm sure this will do wonders for American industry.
