Nice notice I guess, but if I'm crossing illegally then the embassy is not where I'm looking for help.

Not only that, but a visa is needed to cross most borders in the world. Warning people that crossing illegally any border isn’t a good idea seems oxymoronic, especially from an embassy.

Other embassies will be emitting a similar notice to their citizens in 3… 2… 1… oh wait… Don’t expect that not even from the Haitian embassy.
