I am in a discussion w my brother and need help

[Chuuku Davis]

Are there other country that allow "unregistered" people to cross their borders.
I think the EU countries do.
Others?

1. EU countries allow citizens of participatory countries free movement within the zone

They are not "unregistered" they are residents within the Eurozone.

What does your brother mean by "unregistered"? No country allows people without the proper documentation to move freely across their borders. It isn't something that can be stopped and likely every country has some method of dealing with people who are seeking asylum.

What is the topic and point of this discussion?

2. EU - Shengen Agreement

Here's a link on Shengen: https://www.axa-schengen.com/en/countries-schengen-area

Define unregistered.

There may be many agreements that allow, for example, visa-free entry - US/Canada, US/UK - but you still need a passport, which is scanned, I think.

There may be comparable agreements among the Southeast Asian countries or Russia and the former Soviet republics. But, again, while visas may not be required, their entries and departures will be captures.

6. "GTFO of here with that Xenophobic BS, Bro".

One surmises this is a "Crisis at the Southern Border" discussion.

Illegal Border Crossings are exactly that. Illegal. No one "Registers".
Asylum Seekers are claiming asylum, which is legal.
Mexicans with valid identification are allowed to cross into the US legally, and thousands do every day.
With a valid passport, I can go to Mexico or Canada without "Registering".

7. You must be thinking about cars, not people.

Driver's I.D., proof of insurance and legal registration required for cars.

People use passports.......

8. I'm registered to vote in a blue state...

don't know if I can cross the border into a red state. I share your brothers concerns. What would the EU countries do?

9. Pretty sure Canada has allowed unfettered immigration until covid.

10. We don't really "allow" it

We just cannot seem to enforce it. The border is long. But officially we don't allow it. To enter the US, one needs a passport with a visa or a green card. I take it he thinks entries without inspection are the same as "unregistered."

I would think there is no country that "allows" anyone to cross the border without documents. Most countries are not places people from other countries will be willing to try to sneak into. Either they can easily get a visa, or if they can't, they just don't go there.

People want to come the US badly enough that they are willing to sneak in if they cannot get a visa. A few other countries could have this problem too - Australia, New Zealand, the EU, Canada. First World Countries.

Australia and New Zealand have the advantage of being big islands, so entry may be easier to monitor, but I would be fairly sure they have unregistered people who sneaked in. Canada is cold. The EU countries have boats that arrive with people in them, but they are not just "allowing" them in - they must be doing something with them. The EU border on land doesn't seem to motivate Russians or others who could sneak across it uncaught. But there might be people who do that.

11. If the Republican Party gets its way the United States will disintegrate.

Eventually Canada and Mexico will annex whichever states remain governable.

The Canada-Mexico border will be relatively soft. The border with the ungovernable red states will be a wall. Refugees from those sorry places will have to prove they are not gun loving xenophobic racist assholes before they are allowed entry to the civilized world.

Okay, I'm being sarcastic.

My usual response to these questions Trump Maggots ask is, "Fuck off."

13. Where are you from?

That's a bit of a misinformed question you're asking.

[róisín_dubh]

14. The EU does to some extent.

If you’re a citizen of the Schengen zone, you can cross borders without being checked. But if I, a US citizen and UK resident, enter the schengen zone, I am checked at the first point of entry. I can move freely from that point, but only until my visa expires. On exit, overstaying is punishable (depending on the country, they are more or less strict…the Netherlands and Germany carefully checked). If you overstayed, it is nigh on impossible to do ANYTHING that would allow one to have a normal life.
I don’t get what your brother is hinting at.

Everyone has their own country cedula (ID).
Mercosur citizens can legally work in other countries.

Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Columbia, Peru (others)
