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.

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