I'm not a lawyer by any means, but I don't see how it wouldn't be. But realistically, how worth it would it be for this graphic designer to battle a narcissistic, petty billionaire in court? US civil court is truly fucked. Criminal as well, for that matter. Ok, the entire judicial branch really. And the executive branch, and legislative, law enforcement, public health, education.... As an aside, what's the easiest country in the EU for immigration?

> easiest country in the EU for immigration? Since the Mediterranean crisis and the Ukraine crisis: none. Although Ireland won't impose a language requirement so you might start there.

Netherlands if you qualify as a knowledge worker, which is super easy for anyone with a university degree. This could change since the new government isn't very enthusiastic about it, but for now it's a straight "Welcome and here is a 30% tax break for your first 5 years" as long as you meet a quite low minimum income number. And even lower if you come in on a student visum first, they recognise that a starter job is lower paid.

(While Germany may be tempting especially with all the English used in tourist areas, be aware it's not for nothing that native German speakers use in real life a phrase which translates as "The German language is difficult"). Most of the EU, but not Denmark or Ireland, also theoretically have the Blue Card scheme; but I say "theoretically" because that's a bureaucratic streamlining, the actual granting is still done at national level and from what I've heard different countries grant them at different rates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Card_(European_Union) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Card_(European_Union)

  Actually had to think about what phrase you meant here. For other readers' benefit, it is "Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache", which is indeed a known phrase (with the obvious direct translation)

Russia is easy to immigrate to for anyone sharing traditional values. Rich culture, English-friendly, big opportunities for specialists. Weather is not perfect, but the Global Warming is working on it. One of the last islands of sanity in those wild times. I've seen another American Village project near Moscow a few days ago, they do most of the hard work for you and help with the formalities. Houses are nice too. Not my cup of tea personally — I'm more of a city dweller — but the people there looked happy.
