The brother of a friend of mine from Oz went to the States and somehow ended up joining the circus as a carnie where he worked illegally for a couple of years. He was caught when the circus went in to Canada for a while and they checked everyones papers when trying to reenter the US. He was denied entry, got banned from the US for 10 years and the rest of the circus waved goodbye and left him at the border. Totally worth it just for having such an adventure for a couple of years.
