All other countries would expect their laws be respected and even might ban someone from legal reentry if they illegally entered or overstayed a visa.
Good grief.

You may get a better response in the "illegal" section.

Alot of Nazi guys slunk off to Brazil after the war to go into hiding.
Momar Ghadafi was pretty hated but I'm sure he could have found a home somewhere in the middle east. We have terrorists detained in Gitmo that no one wants to take. Didn't Obama pledge to close that place in 2008? But no one wants them. It was even floated that they come here either to jail or into the public. Yeah that makes sense.
If truly no country will have you , just walk over the border from Mexico in the US where we will take care of you better than our own. Heard on the radio this morning a woman in Texas on the border has multiple groups of 10-20 illegals run through her yard nightly. A neighbor sleeps with her TV on as white noise so the illegals don't wake her when they go through her yard. They are OK with the flood of people coming in who actually need help but it is the drugs that some bring with them.
If you chose to live at an airport at least your booze would be duty free.

Yes it is now. Illegals are being promised at the very least legal status as their reward for coming here or being here illegally. Felony document fraud -- including the use of stolen identification and names is not being counted against them. Some politicians are promising they'll get them on the fast track for US citizenship.

While I appreciate the sentiment and agree with you on some level, it just goes to show you how alive and well the American Dream still is and how we're lucky to have been born here without a struggle to get here.
