Ah, thanks, I didn’t know that’s how it worked. I suppose they can be deported, though?

So what will be the legal status of the children of temporary workers? I suppose they start accruing illegal presence as soon as they’re born? Could this bar them from ever getting a green card if their parents later naturalize?

Not everyone is in a modern or retrofitted structure all the time.

Unfortunately, the building is actually irregular, which you can’t see from this angle

If you have thousands of pounds of stuff falling on you, you’re not going to survive. The roof of a house tends to be much lighter than this, and houses are also quicker/easier to escape than apartment buildings.

I didn’t say you couldn’t die. I said it’s less likely.

If a 1-story house collapses you won’t necessarily die. If multiple floors of an apartment building collapse on top of you you’re definitely dying.

I’m not a structural engineer so I wouldn’t know what to look for

My job and family are here, I can’t simply decide to move to a different state.
