Wealthy Americans Planning to Move Abroad Amid Election Fears A growing number of affluent Americans are making plans to leave the country as Tuesday’s election approaches, driven by concerns over potential political and social unrest regardless of the outcome, according to immigration attorneys. Advisors to family offices and high-net-worth individuals report an unprecedented surge in demand for second passports and long-term residency programs abroad. While discussions of moving overseas during election years are common, experts say this time, many are taking concrete steps. “We’ve never seen demand like this,” said Dominic Volek, group head of private clients at Henley & Partners, a firm specializing in global migration for the wealthy. He noted that for the first time, Americans have become the company’s largest client base, accounting for 20% of its business. The number of U.S. clients planning to move abroad has increased by at least 30% compared to last year. The trend underscores growing uncertainty and the lengths to which some wealthy individuals will go to secure stability and flexibility in a turbulent political climate.

Asian American organizations are expressing concern but not shock over President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign pledge for mass deportations. Reports suggest that undocumented Chinese immigrants of military age could be among the first targeted, citing potential national security risks, according to sources familiar with the campaign. While many advocacy groups have been preparing for such policies since Trump’s immigration rhetoric gained traction, this specific targeting has intensified efforts. Organizations are now ramping up the creation and distribution of immigration resources in multiple Asian languages. Additionally, they are coordinating with other nonprofits to address the anticipated increase in families affected by deportations, emphasizing both legal aid and community support. This proactive approach reflects the broader anxiety and mobilization among immigrant communities in the face of policy shifts.

Decorated floats and enormous character balloons filled the streets of New York City on Thursday for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a cherished holiday tradition. Highlights: 100-Year Milestone: The parade celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, having first brought Thanksgiving cheer to the city in 1924. However, due to pauses during World War II (1942-1944), this is the 98th actual parade. Spectacular Lineup: This year’s event features 17 giant character balloons, 22 colorful floats, and performances from 11 marching bands. Broadway casts, rapper T-Pain, and legendary group The Temptations are also part of the lineup. Cultural Impact: In 2023, the parade was one of the few non-sporting events to rank among the top 100 most-watched broadcasts in the U.S., showcasing its enduring appeal. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade remains a symbol of holiday joy, blending tradition with vibrant modern performances.

Happy Thanksgiving Football Fans! Three games highlight Thursday’s Thanksgiving slate, so let’s dive in without too much preamble. First, though, a quick thanks: to all football lovers who make this job enjoyable, even those Eagles and Steelers fans who never miss a chance to remind me when I’ve doubted their teams. Eagles fans, I stand by my 9-8 preseason prediction—it’s not an insult! It’s a playoff-worthy record. Steelers fans, I see you too. This miracle season has been incredible, and I’m here for it. Now, grab your turkey legs and settle in for some football. Best Bets for Week 13 Lions (-9.5) vs. Bears This line dipped below 10 on Wednesday, making the Lions a great pick for their Thanksgiving showdown. Detroit, under Dan Campbell, has transformed from perennial underdogs into a legitimate powerhouse. With an electric offense and a fired-up roster led by David Montgomery facing his former team, expect the Lions to take full advantage of their holiday home crowd. The Bears might stay competitive early, but Detroit’s depth and firepower will be too much. Prediction: Lions cover the spread with a commanding win. Player Props: CeeDee Lamb 60+ Yards/Malik Nabers 60+ Yards (+138) In the Cowboys-Giants matchup, there’s value in offense despite a low total of 37.5 points. Tommy DeVito’s status puts the Giants’ quarterback position in flux, which could lead to a gutsy game plan involving Drew Lock. Nabers, who was underutilized last week, is poised to make an early impact, while Lamb remains Dallas’s primary offensive weapon. Both clearing 60 yards is well within reach—and the payout is sweet. Pro Tip: This bet could cash early, especially if the quarterbacks exploit weak coverage. Enjoy the games, your family, and all the pie you can handle. Happy Thanksgiving!
