It may be wise to plan ahead before, for example:

* Political speech starts getting monitored and targeted for detention/arrest

* Immigration into other countries gets backlogged

* Other countries stop letting Americans in entirely as a sanction

* Border controls become a lot more restrictive

Is any of this actually going to happen in the next few years? Who the fuck knows. But the likelihood just increased substantially.

Would any amount of planning offset these risks though?

Preparation is a good idea: talking to immigration lawyers, researching immigration requirements in depth, taking any necessary English/skill assessment tests, etc.
