It is worse than we are willing to admit...

Muman I don't mean any disrespect but what are you doing still living in America?
Your Brothers & Sisters need you in Israel, they face a great danger.
Gd gave you The Land of Israel for you to live in, he commands to live there. What happens if one day the Israeli government limits Aliyah & all of a sudden you're not allowed in? Think about that for a moment. Think about what you could miss. If I were you (I'm not) but if I were, I'd tell my boss I'm quitting, pack my bags, say my goodbyes & go home.
Anyways I hope you do go back to your Land soon. There is no future for Jews outside of Israel.

Irish Zionist... I hear you and I truly would love to be able to pick up and go. But I still have family which will not make the move, my mother and step-father will be needing me as their health is declining. I have made a sort of an oath that after my parents do not require my assistance then I will begin making plans to make Aliyah.
I have looked into the cost of making the move. I get regular updates on job opportunities in the Holy Land (and there are many for people with my skills). The thought of making the move is almost always on my mind.
May Hashem give me the strength to make the move.

Muman I love my parents very much & the very idea of leaving them can be heartbreaking especially when they may need you. But there may not be enough time to go to Israel, job opportunities could dry up, wars can start, events can change just like that.
Are you 100% sure that you're not making the biggest mistake of your life? I'm saying this because I really do fear for The Jewish People outside of Israel and especially America.

I appreciate your concern and must say I don't know if I am making a mistake. If my family (parents) were with me on making Aliyah I believe there would be no question in my mind about it. And if, G-d Forbid, the laws of return of Jews to Israel is changed, we all will be held accountable for not making the effort to return to the land.
My only recourse at this time to is pray to Hashem that Israel will remain open to aliyah.

Did you speak to your parents about this? What excuses do they have for not going?
Is it possible you could convince them? Maybe you could say to them I have to go to Israel with or without you, maybe that will be the wake up call they need.

The second I can afford to, I'm going.

I knew that freaking name sounded familiar, we have one here. Those sand rats were looking at a big storage warehouse to rent I was at one day, I knew something was up. I also wonder if those cars showing up in NY from here have anything to do with them...
