Permission to remain in the United States. While I support being able to move to other countries and live in them, I understand the reasons why there are requirements for non-citizens to go through a process for long term residency, or even have a visa for a tourist visit.
I bet that surprised you.
On the other hand, it shouldn't since international law only gives a free right to enter and exit a nation of the citizens of that nation. It's a privilege for anyone else. Although that can be interesting in other countries since I should technically qualify for Polish citizenship. I probably could have gotten it had I applied after the Iron Curtain dropped, but Brexit created a real run on people applying for EU Citizenship using extenuated circumstances. Toss in the War in Ukraine for good measure. I could get into citizenship by ancestry, but I do not have a heritage in either Ireland or Italy (post unification). Germany sucks for that one since, unlike Italy, it only passes through the father (I guess it really is the Fatherland...).
Anyway, we are seeing poor enforcement of the laws on the books and the effects of crappy laws with crappy enforcement.
Sort of like another issue.
