    Fucking right. I'm so glad I'm nowhere near that area. I looked at my six months old son and it just breaks my heart all the kids that are terrified right now bcz of power hungry assholes.

    To be fair, they've been killing each other for thousands of years and aren't about to stop doing so now. Hard to feel sorry for them in that context.

    And still we could travel there without passing through any other country.

    Explain how France, UK share a border with the Middle East?

    If you say "airport" then New Zealand and Greenland go on your list too.

    To Gaza specifically? Because it would be wildly unpopular in states already struggling with severe islamophobia problems.

    Otherwise, can't speak for europe and asia, but the US actually would be actively dooming mexico if it opened the borders. Anyone who could possibly help Mexico improve itself would suddenly have easy access to just getting up and leaving instead, initiating a vicious cycle of brain drain that would set Mexico back decades in terms of developing an educated professional core.
