I mean, say, you want a really nice camera, or a drone, or maybe a gaming laptop, and since those things are made in China, they are too expensive to buy right now in the US, since tariffs are over 100%. So you just go to Canada, buy the thing, unpack it from the packaging, and pretend like its just personal items. Just like a smartphone.

AFIAK, border agents usually don’t ask if you bought your phone in the US or from outside, they shouldn’t ask about other personal electronics, right?

    No because once outside of the US people realise the country is shit and they don’t want to come back anymore, so this will not work sadly enough.

      Well you see, the problem is, you can just say “I want to leave” and go wherever you want. You need visas.

      A work visa is only temporary and you get kicked out as soon as you get fired.

      So only immigration visas are viable for long term emmigration. Those are very hard to get.

      If you go without permission, you will get deported back to the US.
