Here’s an email script summarizing this article. I wrote it in ~5 minutes to send to my US Congressional representative, so it’s not very polished, but I think it’s good enough.
Hi! I’d like to encourage Rep. ___ to advocate for opening borders to Russians as much as possible. Any simplification of the visa process will help. This will weaken Russia and its onslaught on Ukraine while also strengthening our economy.
First, Russian men who don’t want to fight would avoid conscription or desert the army by immigrating to the US with their families. Second, the Russian economy would weaken: emigrants would stop paying taxes, and the Russian military would experience brain drain. Third, a kind welcome from the US would weaken Putin’s propaganda that everyone hates Russian people.
As for us, we’d get the best kind of immigrants: people willing to change their lives to avoid supporting a corrupt government. These people are the most likely to have savings, higher education, in-demand skills, English skills, and generally a good grip on reality.
In conclusion, let’s welcome Russian people to take a stand against the Russian government!
Thanks for the great idea!
