Magats will jerk off to this, this is what they wanted with their vote
yeah - the dogwhistle language was pretty much "jail the brown people".
i'm sure my mother is estatic. she told me she is scared all the time because one of her neighbors is chinese (she doesnt know them or talk to them; i have never met them... and neither has she, officially). that is the only basis for her fear - she makes up stories about them and everything. the last story she made up was how they were running an international crime ring to get more chinese people to live near her...........
fucking white people :(
Dr Fu Manchu is your neighbor!

It is awfully suspicious. Who in their right mind would return from Canada under the current circumstances?
They were US citizens. Canada doesn't let you stay longer than 6 months when just visiting. They had no choice but to return home at some point.
Even if CBP had legal justification to detain them, can someone explain to me why the officer put his hand on his gun when asked a verbal question? Is that not brandishing?
Pretty sure they now have qualified immunity (and then some) anywhere within like 100 miles of any border or point of entry. Specifically included permission to detain anybody, citizen or not, without any paperwork. At least, best I can remember. It was one of many truly disgusting supreme court rulings in my life.
Edit: corrected the word "detain"
Because we don't have a legal system. We have fascism.
Perfectly legal in maga 'merica.
Due process what...?
Because he is an insecure little shit who needs to bully his betters.
Because he would not be socially acceptable for him to put us hand on is dick.

Flying home from international now.
Wish me luck my homies!
Just be white, and you'll be fine. Kinda like my other advice. Just be rich and you'll be fine.
It's not like they have thrown white Tourists from Germany or Canada in the prison the last few weeks instead of refusing them at the border

Good luck! Let us know how it went!
If you don’t hear from me hello from El Salvador!
Ah, another case of the ol' caucasian deficiency.
It's happening to white people as well.
Not enough to make any material impact .. yet, if ever.
Wait until a celebrity is handcuffed at the border whilst live streaming the experience.
Even then, the brainwashed will still claim that it was justified.
Not until it happens to them will anything like this resonate.
I think things like DHL no longer accepting personal shipments into the USA valued at over $800 will have a bigger impact than this all too familiar story.
That already happened, a Canadian actress was detained for like 2 weeks months ago
Yet here we still are
And she was a US resident renewing her visa at the border, she was living here legally
You said it yourself, "Canadian actress" .. I think right there is their excuse to ignore this.
I mean yeah but things have progressed since then. They're snatching anyone.
If it's brown, flush it down.
Because of Schindler's list, Ann Frank's diary and history classes, I totally understood why Vietnamese people here in the US wanted to change their name to a more American name. I found it funny at first when I met my first Viet person ever. But it was then pretty normal and I think the Chinese do it too. Now we are living the same pressures against other migrants. Will they go from Juanes to John's? Will Maria become Jessica?
OMG! Even that is not possible due to the laws where one cannot change our name and also vote.

I think I found the explanation.
Too many consonants
Funny how so many of these detained US citizens share certain, ahem, characteristics about their names
Trump might as well just make it illegal to travel in or out of the Untied States
Wouldn't surprise me if that is his plan. We can both name a few countries where it is very hard to travel in or out of the country. They aren't nice places to live
