KEY words from your post: "..with no resources.."
If they stay out of sight much longer- it will be clear they have plenty of resources.
That's exactly right. It's one thing to hop the border to your neighboring country, where you're not really out of place, and your language is spoken to a degree. It's another entirely to fly across the planet, walk out of the airport, and then disappear into your surroundings. Especially when you're 20, and presumably have no money, family, travel papers, language skill or education.
Multiply that problem x 11, set the FBI after your, and then try and stay under the radar. If you're still off the map this time next month, odds are you had the local hookup ready before you ever got on that plane.
