Why do most successful stowaways regret it?

Of course, they will regret it, because they think that as long as they cross the national border, they can live better than before, but without citizenship documents, they will suffer in the smuggling country and even get sick and cannot be reimbursed. Although they may earn a little more money than the original country, their treatment is worse than before. Regret is human nature. Of course, many of them are dissatisfied, because the country where they smuggled is not as good as they directly imagined.

We must first distinguish between refugees and stowaways. Refugees are people who have to take refuge in other countries because of wars or natural disasters in China, and they do not go to other countries out of their own intention. Stowaways are different. They are dissatisfied with the current living standard, and yearn for the life in developed countries after seeing it on the Internet or from the media, but they give up their original rights in their own country and illegally immigrate to other countries. The former, like Syrian refugees now, mostly settled in Turkey, while the latter is a kind of people who are dissatisfied with their living conditions and sneak into European countries.

People without documents are simply struggling in this information age. You need an ID card to ride, and you need a real-name registration system to use your mobile phone or APP. And stowaways never meet such conditions, they can only live in one place like street rats, and it depends on whether anyone is willing to give him a job, and it is very likely that the salary is far below the minimum line stipulated by law. After all, these people are not citizens and are not protected by domestic laws.

Of course, there are also some people who have no regrets because of their lives. These people may have relatives who have official nationality in the smuggling country, but they don't. They find that their life is very different from that of normal people, or it is very inconsistent with the online propaganda, so they are dissatisfied, but they don't consider themselves stowaways. This is selfishness in human nature.
