🇸🇮 👮‍♂️ Slovenian border police are still annoyingly funny.

You really don't have to chech each ID document so thoroughly: Slovenia is sourrounded by Schengen countries, nobody would want to live as an illegal immigrant in your country.😑

Please, officer! Stop! Don't bite the passport to see if it is legitimate! It's not a gold coin! 😅

P.s.
And pro-tip: you should check the documents of those entering the country, not of those exiting 🙄

Given the current and ongoing situation ‘down there’, maybe it’s time Carney uses a bit of Agent Orange’s own playbook and has a wall installed, saying - as he did - they’ll pay for it.
But in lieu of us charging them tariffs. Win / win on both sides.
(More people cross illegally into Canada than vice-versa. Ditto guns).
