    I love Americans freaking out about being subjected to the same shit they force all others to go through.

    Americans have no idea how border checks work. Remember that next time they share opinions about immigration.

      I know how boarder checks work. And I know that the schengen area has the best border crossings.

      I want more schengen. The US and Canada should make their own north american schengen area, it will cut down on so much unnecessary government expenditure.

        Why not world wide shengen? Why shouldn’t all human beings have freedom of movement on the entire globe? Why do you have to ask permission before being able to move freely?

          Because they haven’t paid taxes to run the services they want to consume.

          Because we can’t all live in the same place and people shouldn’t be forcibly evicted from their homes by violent people.

          Because it ruin the lives of people who don’t live on the absolutely lowest rung of quality of life.

            Actually we can: “Standing shoulder-to-shoulder, the entire world’s population could fit within the 500 square miles (1,300 square kilometers) of Los Angeles.”. I assume your other claims to be just as easily disproved, but cannot be bothered, people can use search engines themselves.

              You can’t live your whole life literally standing shoulder to shoulder with people can you! How are you going to eat or sleep or work? You going to spend your life living like a penguin? Except it’s also billion penguins deep.

              I don’t think you’ve started disproving anything yet. You’re a complete idiot.

      The people complaining didn’t force this on us. They probably never knew about it. So I can understand their dismay over this.
