The American mind cannot even comprehend a border between 3 countries being so open.

Isn't that between 4 states though? Rather than 4 countries lol still super cool though

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

Don't worry I'm sure they'll come up with tight immigration between states eventually

Just speed run getting a felony, grab a kid and run around 4 corners to get the kidnapping over state lines achievement.

Have you seen the difference in laws between US states!?

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but relatively large states with a combined population of nearly 20m.

It's the Google map travel distance thing all over again

Which is on an indian reservation, and requires an entrance fee to go look at it.

Is that new? I definitely didn't pay to go to it- a little over 10 years ago

[-] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I went through there last summer. It was a total tourist trap.

Yeah honestly. I know we (USA), do any number of things In a screwed up way, but it's also what I'm used to. There's NO border control anywhere around there? Seems weird to me.

When I was in Germany in 2022, I traveled freely around Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Czechia. I only got asked for my Passport in Switzerland, and then at the airports. Otherwise, no, you'd just be driving or on a train and the signs would change to French suddenly.

I loved it. I wish we fucking would relax our shit in the US. It was hella neat.

Do you have border control between states? It's basically the same thing with schengen. No control between countries on the "inside", but rigorous control to get in.

[-] BakedGoods@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Why would there be? All three countries are in the Schengen area.
