Who are those 15%?
And why aren't they pushed into the ocean?

9% are undecided. The other 6% are edgelords.

The ocean is solid. F***ers keep walking back to land.

I'm smack dab in the middle of the US and I don't want to be part of it, currently.

Given your username, are you planning on exiting the country?

The thought often crosses my mind, but it is far too difficult.

Why so? Genuinely curious. The US passport is the most reputable passport out there. And if you're under 26, many countries will just accept you staying there for a year or two until you find a job.

Is that all just for a work visa? Or are you trying to become Portuguese too? Sounds like a lot for a visa.
What's this for?
That's for a work visa? I live in Europe and worked with a few US Americans - none could speak the local language - not even a bit. If passing a language test were a requirement, they never would've gotten the work visa.
I hope it won't be the same for me when I move outside of the EU. If everything you're describing is necessary for a work visa, goddamn, I don't know how our parents put up with it.

Nobody has ever wanted to join the USA. They've all had their land stolen, natives genocided/enslaved, etc.

That should put an end to the conversation.
If it doesn't, we can with certainty dismiss all pretense of "inviting Greenland to be a state" and recognize that Trump is just undeterred in threatening invasion and exploitation of NATO territory. Likely with a dash of tyranny to keep the locals in line.
