Mexico and Canada are both pretty close.
The Americas are not the E.U. You have to be approved to immigrate to Canada & Mexico unless you want to over stay a visa. In spite of my love pre-contact indigenous history of Meso-america my Spanish is garbage. I don't qualify for refugee status.
The US is a fascist country that is kidnapping people. You might, indeed, qualify for refugee status.
There's a lot of politics that go into who recohnises a country as bad enough to flee from. With what a giant threat the US is, other countries won't risk taking its citizens as refugees any time soon.
That's not how it works. Under international law, the country can't eject someone who is seeking asylum
That doesn't have anything to do with what I said. People fleeing the US will not be granted asylum in any country of the world due to what I said. They can apply for it alright, just won't do them any good and they'll be sent right back.
The qualifying part is just factually wrong. The other part is up to a new host country to decide. I haven't heard any opening the door to throngs of Americans.
Under international law, no. That is not how it works.
