    >they think they can escape a repressive political climate and bleak economic prospects in the US

    This is what happens when you watch too much TV.

      There’s a really tragic documentary where a similar thing happens to young kids from Central America so they do the trek up alone because they are essentially just believing Hollywood propaganda lies about the US.

      Which Way Home. I really recommend it.

        From US television, duh.

        Do you think China is a hermit kingdom and no one there watches anything that isn’t approved by the state? Get real lol that shit is unenforceable in a developed country like China
