The problem is that after fleeing to a new place, it’s hard to rebuild back to what you could have been. Especially when that new place is also xenophobic/exclusionary.

Unfortunately, the world has become very insular and hostile to newcomers trying to build a better life. Even ivy league NY liberals will destroy you for having a mildly different background than them, let alone the Putins and Trumps and their supporters.
