    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.
