I think you probably put your finger on the rational driving force here. If you can't/don't control the borders anyway... It might be more rational to just go

I think you probably put your finger on the rational driving force here. If you can't/don't control the borders anyway... It might be more rational to just go with that and enable official channels and/or rules to work. Insisting on the impossible, or the not-going-to-happen... It's a mistake politics makes regularly. Policies are only as effective as you can make them. Anyway, if Kenya is in then this is a serious thing.
