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

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!

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.

As far as I know USicans do not qualify for refugee status anywhere.

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.
