    Would you qualify as a refugee in Mexico or Canada? Looks like an easy enough border to cross if you would.

      I don’t know about Mexico but Canada won’t recognize refugee claims from people in the US due to safe harbour rules. It’s still considered a safe country so you can’t be a refugee from there.

      I’m thinking of hiring some American illegals to clean up my lawn, they have those cute traditional outfits of khaki shorts and New Balances. Exotic!

        They are also used to low minimum wages and no worker protections. Don’t even need to provide them with healthcare!

      I could definitely look into the refugee status, but crossing with no money, no friends or family abroad, and no plan, sounds like a bad idea.

        Few years ago I was stood in line behind a Ukrainian. Had nothing other than clothes and 20 quid.

        If the conditions are really that bad, you can find a way out without much money.
