You may not be able to vote, but as a resident you can write (on paper!) to your representatives to express your concerns.
You can get in touch with grassroots movements that are doing things (not just protesting!) to resist the rise of fascism.
You can look at ways to harness your clearly exceptional business/technical talents. Improve communications privacy for the public? Crowdsource information about ICE/CBP movements and activities? Expose people or corporations who are collaborating with undemocratic practices?
From your vantage point, you would have a much better idea what options are available.
Yes, there are personal risks and costs, but you have chosen to live in a society that has been creeping slowly but visibly towards authoritarianism. You have benefitted handsomely from your position, maybe it's time to pay back the people who clean your offices and pick your produce for (often less than) minimum wage.
