Visit Alberta instead.
US-lite.
Still stupid. Do not enter the US. This is advice.
The US deports, and worse, 👉 people married to a US military spouse, during their green card interviews.👈
They camp out at green card offices.
If youre going to go back into danger because of a family emergency, do everything advised, and dont be slow.
"Bring your documents" is a guess, a hope, possibly a delusion.
Yeah, I was about to say this. They're taking passports from naturalised AND native born Americans now. A piece of paper will not protect you from the Gestapo at the border. Cruelty is the point, and you're not going to evade it by playing by the rules. Once you learn the truth of that, not entering the US just makes sense. Put our economy in a vice grip and stay away. That's the only way to run the Shitgibbon out of office.
Ports of entry to the U.S. have access to a centralized database that collects information on criminal convictions in both Canada and the U.S., Global Affairs Canada says. The database also includes information on previous denials at border crossings.
I mean, our courts publish proceedings. Wouldn't be hard to assemble a database from that info.
The accuracy of such a database (particularly when interpreted by an AI) would be hugely suspect. Also, hard to argue with a database when you're at the border being detained -- the guy detaining you didn't create the database.
Whole thing reeks.
Agreed on all points.
Writing something down has an interesting psycholigical effect. It increases the legitimacy of the words, even if they're exactly the same as spoken. Someone made the effort, did the labour to write that down - wow - must be worth at least that much more than spoken word. Someone wrote down a whole lot of things in a collection - a database. All of a sudden the burden to argue with it jumps through the roof. It's interesting.
On the flip side, I like that our courts publish proceedings. If we're having an open and transparent society, and we want to trust in our institutions, then this transparency is required. An conundrum, to be sure.
Just more data points to justify my Never Visit the United States Again policy.
