The experiences of Turks who illegally crossed into the U.S. became a topic: “We came with 15 people, 13 of them returned.”

Oğuzhan Yıldız, on social media “laptoplugezgin” with the username, in the video he shared, he said he had met some Turkish citizens who were illegally traveling from Mexico to the United States. Yıldız reported that one of the people he spoke to told him that of the 15 people who set out together, 13 had returned to Turkey.

In the video, Yıldız said that those heading to the United States had left Turkey with large amounts of debt, paid money to cartels at the border, and continued borrowing after arriving in the country.

According to Yıldız, the person he spoke to said they bought cars in the United States, rented houses, but spent the bulk of their earnings on paying off debts. The same person was said to have struggled to stay in the country because their work permits were not approved and they faced problems in court proceedings.

The video stated that some people could not go outside due to fear and, under those conditions, were considering returning to Turkey rather than staying in the United States. Yıldız also claimed that those who returned left the country without paying their debts to banks in Turkey.

Repeated the 'Do Not Come Unprepared' Warning

Yıldız, while recounting the events, reminded of his earlier warnings and highlighted the risks of traveling to the United States illegally and without preparation. He argued that going abroad on borrowed money, confronting cartels, and experiencing imprisonment during border crossings can leave people in difficult situations.

Yıldız emphasized at the end of the video that no country should be entered illegally.
