Some Mothers Do Have Them

[taz666]

In the event I was privy to his actual social media posts I would or wouldn't become agitated at his situation.

My guess however, is that I would not; his own mom's opinion of whether her son should have been granted admittance into this country notwithstanding.

How folks conduct themselves while guests in my home is a deciding factor over whether or not they'll be allowed to re-enter the house in the future.

As long as the "guest" follows the law and not some individuals interpretation of how "guests" should act. This isn't just my house. It belongs to all the "guests" here and should be as inclusive as possible. That's America.

There are two pretty vital pieces of data missing to make a fuller comment:-

1) What did he say in those blogs;

2) What have Border Patrol been told to look for, or have they been told to "use their judgement".

LVSteve hit the nail on the head !!!!

Here are the questions that should be answered before commenting in this thread...IMO.

A house, and by extension our country, doesn't belong to it's "guests", which is why they're defined as guests rather than actual stakeholders.

The dubious benefit of "inclusivity" notwithstanding, our country's "guests" who desire residence within need to bring tangible benefit to the country, and not simply their own "needs".

It still is beyond my understanding as to why so many feel the need to share their thoughts on everything from politics to burritos with the entire world. To paraphrase: "It is better to be thought a fool, than to post on social media and remove all doubt in perpetuity".

But, yet, you shared your thought on others sharing their thoughts.

A google search on a name will bring them all up.

Fortunately I use my full name in my social media accounts, but misspelt my first name by transposing two letters and not noticing. Still, I have googled myself and there are a few things there.

People use the real names??? Why are they then asking for them? I know nothing about "social media" I do not consider these forums a social media
I have seen on some TV show relating to entering other Countries that they can search your phone as well as everything else.

We are all "guests" and stakeholders as you put it. Not one of us can claim ownership of this nations assets that all ""guests" have contributed to these last 2-1/2 centuries. We're all on a journey passing through. I do agree that the people coming here should show that they're intentions are to not be a burden.

Phone, laptop and tablet.

They are all tied into your social media accounts today.

Ever wondered why if you go looking for an item online you get flooded with social media and e-mail ads for that item for days/weeks?

The latest is the requirement to sign into sites via Google. One NZ news site I read requires a login, but it will not allow me to log in using either of my primary e-mail accounts (family and personal). I can only get in via Google.

The fact is that if you intend, or even think you may someday intend, to visit another country, don’t trash them, or their government, online.

But it is not just blogging. Some countries, despite what the arranging agencies claim, consider house/pet sitting employment and refuse entry on the grounds the traveller does not have a work visa.

And there are other grounds to refuse entry that may have been unenforceable but become enforceable again.

Phone, laptop, and tablet are all fair game at the ports of entry in both the US and the UK.

ANY site that says I require to log in via Google is somewhere I do not need to go.

Re pet sitting etc, the US is EXTREMELY sensitive about work permission. When I had my Green Card interview having left my previous employment I got asked if I had been working at least four times. A Welsh girl spent 10 days in Border Patrol custody before being shipped back to the UK after admitting she had been cleaning for lodging while traveling here. HUGE no-no.

Just to be clear. I do not support those who commit crimes while visiting here. BUT, according to our Constitution EVERYONE who is here is entitled to a hearing and a jury before being found guilty of anything. Besides that I believe we should treat people from other countries as we would want treated in others. Just because some third world country does or doesn't do something doesn't mean it is fine for the United States to display the same mentality and deplorable behavior. We should be above that.

Besides that if the Dept of Justice and others are allowed to circumvent the Constitution when dealing with non citizens and suspected non citizens, don't be all the surprised when they start doing it to citizens too. Things like "We haven't got time or money to give everyone a trial", can very easily become we haven't got time or money to give anyone a trial. Slippery slope and all that.
