Even if you get a second passport, everyone you know and love is still left behind. Will new life abroad be that rosy with this knowledge?

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do to survive. Think of the South Vietnamese desperately fleeing from the coming onslaught of social justice warriors in Saigon Ho Chi Minh City.

Maybe they will need a place to go to as well. Even if they can't get a second passport quickly, they might be able to visit and ride out some of the disruption in a safer location.

Exactly. And I'm sure you recall what they took with them as money to begin a new life abroad...
