The annoying thing is when you want to visit the EU accidentally.

Like if you're in Switzerland and you just feel like hopping on a train to Italy on a whim. You used to be able to do that, now you need a pre-approval I suppose.

They're both in Schengen, so you just do that
US passports don't need Shenanigan visa for Switzerland.

The weird thing is that all the bordering countries need a pre-approval now but not Switzerland itself.

Like if you're in Mexico and you just feel like hoping on a train to the US on a whim.
Unironically the US should be pushing very very hard to be best buds with Mexico and help it become a stable state that does a lot of our manufacturing. Want to make illegal immigration less of a problem? Help Mexico become a country you want to live in.
If there were trains I'd totally do that. I absolutely love living on border regions and spending weekends in another country where it's possible and cheap.
