    Not sure if this is a jest, but it isn’t true.

    People move to other countries sometimes with little more than the clothes on their backs - just look at historical immigration to the US.

    If you have the luxury of doing it the proper way - getting a job offer, a place to live, etc - then that’s perfect, but desperate people will do desperate things to survive.

      if you can’t afford to live, then you certainly can’t afford to move to another country
