This is usually what it is... That or they just tell their annoying wife that is the plan and once they get here they are like "Married? Nope, never been married". Hahaha 1 Link to comment

For obvious reasons it's easier to make landfall in Central/South America and then travel overland to the US southern border (even Cuban immigrants do this now). If you come up from South America you have to cross the Darien gap (Southern Panama/Northern Colombia). Considered to be the most dangerous place on earth because there are no roads, no law, cartels, native tribes, extreme terrain, and unpredictable weather as it's the rainiest place on earth.

No idea why they would want to bypass those countries and enter the US. There go those conservatives hating America again! Link to comment
ZRod Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 5 hours ago, DevoHusker said: Simply due to the fact they end up in the US. Lots of "western" nations much closer and easier to get to. What western nations? I'm assuming Europe? Think about why you might want to hop on a boat or plane to the Americas and go over land from there, rather than trek expansive mountain ranges, cross vast deserts, and go through literal war zones. 2 Link to comment

Locally, there are hundreds of single Somalian and Syrian men. One apartment complex in GI is nothing but Muslim men. A couple of parks in town had to put up cctv to monitor the drinking/drugs/fights. Anecdotal I know. 1 Link to comment

There isn't really a significant (like, less than 200) Syrian immigrant population in this state. There are at least as many Sudanese and Somali women in Nebraska. But if you're talking about these communities, you aren't talking about illegal immigrants. 2 Link to comment

Not sure if not Syrian, but that's what we've heard. Regardless, they are virtually all single men living together. 1 Link to comment
