I'm second-generation American. Emigration doesn't seem out of the question to me because I know a lot of people who have done it, including immediate family members.
But it is a huge undertaking. My childhood was shaped by being in an immigrant family. I was culturally out of step with other American children, I spoke a different language at home, and instead of going to Disney World on summer break, we flew back to our first "home."
LW's daughter is justified to consider emigrating in response to Supreme Court decision, but she's not entitled to demand her parents do the same. If her parents want to remain in the US, the daughter can emigrate when she is an adult.
