alt Hacker NewsI don't have hard data yet but I'm pretty sure some cities have suburbs outside them, connected via road, that rich people use as tax havens so they can live near a city without being subject to the laws and taxation of the city

Countries are generally big and with cities on both sides of a border so that doesn't seem like it would be a big worry for them.
Right but if you go into a country then you're in the country, not in the outskirts. You still pay taxes (generally...), and, in many countries, don't get any social services.
If anything, many formally-colonial countries are leeching off their illegal immigrants, not the other way around.
