During the 12 months leading up to March, more than 6,000 US citizens have applied to either become British subjects or to live and work in the country indefinitely – the highest number since comparable records began in 2004, according to data released on Thursday by the UK’s Home Office.
Over the period, 6,618 Americans applied for British citizenship – with more than 1,900 of the applications received between January and March, most of which has been during the beginning of Donald Trump’s second US presidency.
The surge in US applications for UK residency comes as American immigration lawyers say they are receiving an increasing number of inquiries. Some are pointing to the polarized political climate in the Trump-led country, which itself is mounting an aggressive immigration-related crackdown.
Nobody is standing up and people know what’s going on. This has played out before with the Nazis. Theyre the smart ones. I’m jealous I can’t afford to move from this shit show country. Cant believe im saying that. Never thought I would be one of those.
Leaving is easier than fighting to fix things. I’m sure you can guess which is more necessary.

I know why some people are trying to leave. I also know that for every person who does, the fight gets harder for those who stay.
Buying a gun is cheaper. Finding the will to fight is the hard part. That’s why fleeing is the first option
