Speaking from personal experience, he urged the youth to follow the right procedures when seeking entry into foreign countries, particularly the United States, to avoid the harsh realities associated with illegal migration.

According to him, life as an undocumented immigrant can be extremely difficult, with limited access to stable jobs, healthcare, and other essential services.

He noted that these struggles can take a serious toll on one’s mental health, sometimes pushing individuals into depression.

He further explained that obtaining legal documentation after entering the country illegally can take up to a decade, describing it as a costly mistake that could significantly delay personal progress.

“Ten years without papers can set you back in life,” he said, adding that such a period could feel like making only a year’s worth of progress due to constant limitations and uncertainty.

He therefore advised young people to be patient and use the appropriate channels when planning to travel abroad, stressing that doing things the right way is the safest path to long-term success.
