Agree that my last posts have had nothing to do with TAL, thus moving to this thread:
I don’t see that there are many seafarers jumping ship in the US these days?? Whether that is because the restrictions on shore leave, or because there aren’t that much interest by seafarers in getting illegally into the US is another question.
I don’t think that “everybody” wants to live there anyhow, even if they are invited. Why should they??
