Can you still exit to Mexico via unattended turnstile? That means the US wouldn't always have a record of the exit date.

- grishka 4y agoWhen I visited the US I was surprised that there's no passport control on departure. Like, at all. I even thought we somehow went wrong way when we got to the gates after TSA, but nope. We asked an employee and were told that that's the way it is in the US. UK is also like that.
- zarzavat 4y agoAt least in the UK, it’s for two reasons: 1. Many older terminal buildings were designed without any space for exit controls. By the time they realized they would need exit controls (relatively recently) they realized they could just slurp the data from the airlines’ systems instead. 2. Immigration is chronically understaffed. The government would need to double the number of employees, which is never going to happen.
- grishka 4y agoBut how does it work when one isn't allowed to leave the country for whatever reason?
