When President Trump won the election in 2016, many liberals and celebrities said they would leave the US. They called the country a dictatorship and pronounced the death of democracy because their preferred candidate did not win. Of course, very few of them left, and millions of migrants tried to enter, because America is the greatest country on earth. Now Queers for Palestine, pink-hairs for Iran, and the “I stand with Maduro… Afghanistan or Yemen” crowd have the option of teaching the Trump administration a lesson by renouncing their citizenship and going to live under those wonderful regimes. People who believe they would be freer in Iran, richer in the People’s Republic of Canada, or safer in migrant-infested Western Europe can leave for just $450. Trump has made it easier for them, but if they did leave, they would be in for a rude awakening. The first problem one would encounter if they renounced their citizenship is that they would become stateless, and they would have no right of residency in the US. They would have to find some other country willing to take them. But if they entered another country and were rejected, that country would likely deport them to the United States as the country of their former citizenship and last legal origin. So not only would they be stuck in the US, but they would be a stateless alien with no legal status, subject to detention or deportation. If Canada refuses to accept them, the list of such countries is bleak, beginning with El Salvador and followed by Guatemala, Honduras, Uganda, Belize, and Paraguay. For those planning to “flee” the United States without renouncing their citizenship, they will discover that no country on earth has open borders. All require visas, residency permits, and work permits for foreigners to live and work there. The socialist utopias of Cuba, Canada, and Scandinavia provide socialized or free medical care only to citizens and legal long-term residents, and many other countries extend those benefits only to citizens. The same liberals who call Republicans Nazis for not extending welfare benefits to illegal aliens will find that other countries apply the same restrictions to foreigners who arrive without legal status. Overstaying a visa or working without authorization can result in detention and deportation. Immigration is also not simply a matter of showing up. More than half of the world’s countries naturalize only a few hundred people per year. Nearly all countries require voter ID, 176 countries and jurisdictions as of 2021, including 46 of 47 European nations, along with visas, residency permits, and work permits for foreigners. By the standard American liberals apply to the United States, democracy is dead everywhere. Protesting those laws would be restricted or illegal in more than 100 countries, and noncitizens in those countries have even fewer protections than citizens. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/liberals-claiming-they-are-fleeing-trumps-america-rude/ Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is turning up the heat on Senate leadership after his resolution to withhold senators’ pay during government shutdowns sailed through committee unanimously only to stall at the hands of Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). The resolution, S.Res.526, sailed through the Senate Rules and Administration Committee with a unanimous vote late last year, proving that even some of the most entrenched politicians recognize the basic fairness of this common-sense measure. As Kennedy himself put it, when federal employees, troops, and border agents go without paychecks because Congress can’t do its job, why should senators keep cashing in? Elon Musk is offering to cover the salaries of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel during the ongoing partial government shutdown. “I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country,” Musk said in an X post on Saturday morning. “This is incredibly generous,” Sen, John Fetterman (D-PA) responded on X. “TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations to get by. I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid”. The Pennsylvania senator added, “It should never come to this point.” It remains unclear how Musk’s pay proposal would work or whether it would be legally possible for a private individual to fund federal workers. The announcement comes amid a partial DHS shutdown, which is now stretching into its sixth week. In a post to Truth Social, the clearly fed-up president wrote: If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/checkmate-schumer-trump-announces-he-will-deploy-ice/ 
Liberals Claiming They Are “Fleeing Trump’s America” in for a Rude Awakening:
Sen. John Kennedy Introduces Resolution to Withhold Senators’ Pay During Shutdowns — Measure Passes Committee UNANIMOUSLY, But Thune Still Dragging His Feet...
Sen. Kennedy:
Well, my bill came out of the Rules Committee unanimously. The only thing stopping it from passing—I’m not saying everybody will vote for it, but I think most senators will—is that Senator Thune has got to bring it to the floor. And because it’s in the form of a resolution, you can’t really—it’s difficult to put it on another bill.
Elon Musk Offers to Cover Pay For TSA Agents as Shutdown Drags On:
Trump Announces He Will Deploy ICE to Airports for Security and Immediate Arrests of Illegals if Democrats Refuse to Fund DHS:
President Donald Trump issued a direct warning to Congressional Democrats on Saturday, vowing to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in airports to handle security duties and begin immediate arrests of illegal immigrants if they continue blocking funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
