    Political or not, many of them will end up in the mega carrier trucks. So there's that.

    Fast forward 20 years later, a lifetime criminal from a third world country is brought here by the US government, nothing is needed from him and the US government pays everything he needs. 2 weeks later he has a SSN and a CDL and starts terrorizing the domestic roads. I've met one today on the road unfortunately and it was unreal.

    Right and this cycle repeats every single election. We haven't had a real crackdown since the 50s. Over 7 million have crossed since 2020.

    They don't get anything free or any kind of government support here, by "all that stuff" I meant paperwork .
    Ukrainians under the age of 60 are not allowed to leave their country. Majority of the Ukrainians you see were either already here, or came from Europe, where they were working before the war started.
    Sure some people still escape the country illegally through forests, river or whatever, but it's not a huge number

    Thanks for the reply, this is very interesting. I want to ask you something - What specifically do you mean when you say Eastern Europeans?

    Are you talking about Central European countries like Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary that are located in Central Europe and in the EU, but are still commonly referred to as "Eastern" Europe by Americans?

    Or are you talking about countries in Eastern Europe that are outside of the EU and if so, are you just talking about Russians and Ukrainians?

    Just wondering, because that's pretty wild if people from the EU bloc are coming to Mexico and willing to spend a couple of weeks in jail, before applying for asylum.

    When I talk about Eastern European I mean people from old Soviet countries, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and even not European Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

    European Union people don't have to come here through Mexico, their passports allow them to come to US visa free and stay up to 90 days.
    Rarely any of them decide to overstay, but I did meet few young Brits who decided to not go home.
    Funny fact but when I came here summer of 2004, tons of illegal Polish people were still here, but by the end of 2005 majority of them left, because Poland joined EU and they could start working anywhere they wanted and not be far from home.

    I believe within next two years Romanian and Bulgarian (part of EU, but cant come to US visa free yet) citizens will be also allowed to visit without Visa. After that happens you will start seeing Romanian Gypsies at every intersection asking for money. Look them up on Google, not very pleasant people, don't want to work whatsoever. I already have seen some in Detroit, probably also came through Mexico.
