New Zealand police arrest pair trying to enter Auckland with ‘large amount’ of KFC:
The men were arrested after allegedly trying to flee from police near the Auckland border. When their car was searched, police said they found a large quantity of KFC, as well as the cash and a number of empty ounce bags.
The arrest struck a chord with New Zealanders – especially Aucklanders, who have spent a month in a strict level four lockdown that does not allow restaurants to open or residents to order takeaway food.
[...] After the KFC arrest, a police spokesperson said “officers noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road, and upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off trying to evade police.
[...] A breach of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act can result in imprisonment for up to six months; or a fine of up to $4,000.
The men will appear in court for breaching the health order, and police said further charges were likely.

Try reading harder. I said that the US is perceived by prospective immigrants to be better than where they are, based on the media they see.
To be honest, large parts of the US probably are better than some of the places these people are trying to leave. But don't be so silly as to claim that all of the US must be better than all of Mexico because some Mexicans come to the US.

Mexicans aren't even coming anymore, I'm pretty sure there's more returning than coming here. Central/South America is where the migrants are coming from.
