    Because there will always be bad actors. You cannot design a system on all actors' full cooperation. Ofc they share the blame, but it is not solving the problem. You can say for ex…

    I think it is more for overstays. Years ago when I asked about my stayed days ( I was traveling a lot ) , border guard took passport and tried to count then gave up
