Any discussion of brain drain has the assumption baked in that only affluent people will be able to get in. "You're not educated? Back to burgerland with you!"
Can uneducated US citizens get an EU work permission?
I don't know. Couldn't you technically fly to the EU on a tourist visa and claim asylum? If the EU has travel advisory for trans people, it seems like it should be a thing, but I am probably way too hopeful there.
Sadly so far claiming asylum in an EU country hasnโt worked yet for US trans people as far as I am aware. Also if an asylum claim is denied you will be sent back and barred from re-entry and work visas for a while. Itโs not an application anyone should make lightly. Wish it were different. Maybe give it another few months and maybe theyโll stop being so worried about annoying the Cheeto and they will let beurocracy catch up with reality.
Asylum? Not a lawyer either but I suppose that travelers should prove(!) that staying in the US is dangerous personally(!) to them. You can't get asylum just because you don't like the government. At least I think that is how it works :)
I think pointing at the anti-trans sentiment and legislation that is being pushed should be enough, but I am a lefty, so I have no power.
I heard a piece on the Dutch news of gay Americans and parents of trans kids already applied for asylum. Will take a while before we'll hear if they're actually granted asylum but there are already people trying. They are personally affected though, and felt unsafe enough to leave their country behind so I'm not sure this is valuable information for someone who just dislikes their government.
Also in my life I've met a bunch of people who moved here, they didn't come across as all being from a single economic class but didn't check their payslips.
Doubt that "sentiments" are enough. I would expect the need of proved fact of being prosecuted in the process. Or something like that.
Probably not. Let's not pretend that European leaders aren't fantasizing about doing some of the stuff trump is doing. They only care about trans people in this context because it allows them to point at the US and say, aren't you glad you aren't over there, now give us all your money so we can buy missiles and tanks
If you manage to convince a company to hire you and help with the visa I think it's possible.
Why would anyone want to hire an uneducated American? I am sure Europe has enough uneducated locals... Of course that might be the chance but too rare chance to be important on a big scale.
Uneducated doesn't mean unskilled or inexperienced. If they can convince some company I guess they have some skill and that could be enough for a visa.
It is also very different with a brain drain in developing countries. But I do think it's fair to say there is a lot of people who cannot afford to move, and in that way this is more like a wealth drain.
