Several generations from now people are going to tell their kids stories of how there used to be people that traveled between countries.
I don't see how technology can prevent this outcome, if anything it will make it worse.
Governments are just too paranoid and criminals/terrorist too eager to make them punish everyone for their crimes.
Vaguely related, did you know Japan has taken in a total of THREE immigrants this year? Japan imprisons applicants and makes life living hell for anyone that wants to migrate there because they are paranoid about outsiders. Tourism is fine as long as you leave.
- keithpeter 10y agoStrange, I know a couple of people who have worked in Japan for periods of a few years - legally I hasten to add - and who have experienced no special difficulties. Those periods of work were pre-2000 and a decade ago more or less. Is this a new phenomenon?
- ck2 10y agoWere they on a work visa with a defined ending date? Probably seen as not a threat like immigration. But I bet overstaying a visa ends very badly there.
- keithpeter 10y agoAh, yes a visa with definite end date would be likely.
