«You have no right to be here.» A teacher wanted to celebrate her birthday in New York. Instead, she was jailed in New Jersey before being deported. A lawyer warns that something similar could happen to almost anyone.

    Okay this is bad obviously but it’s honestly crazy to me that anyone would try to come to the US just for vacation right now.

    I can’t believe I was detained and deported when I tried enter Germany to go celebrate my birthday in Berlin in this beautiful year 1938

      I read a book a long time ago called Travellers in the Third Reich. It was crazy how so many people (usually rich socialites and failsons) went to Nazi Germany and just got on like everything was normal. They went to parties and went sightseeing and drank with friends as if everything was fine, even knowing how reprehensible the Nazis were.

      I get the impression that it’s pure treat brain. People want to have their fun holidays and look at the tourist sites before they want to stop genocide.

        There’s a Swedish police procedural series from the '60s written by Marxists and in one installment a detective rips into a lady trying to seduce him because she’d been vacationing in junta-led Greece.

        During the US Civil War people used to go picnic on hills near battlefields to watch it all happen.

        People are weird

          They also would have black mothers breastfeed at carnivals, so white people could play "hit the n***** baby” by throwing baseballs at the babies’ stomachs, to watch them vomit. And used black children as gator bait.

      Genuinely like why the fuck would you come here just for fun right now? Especially since you should know that exactly this situation is very likely and could honestly have gone down worse.

      My reaction on some level too.

      Whenever someone I know says they are going on holiday to America I lose a good deal of respect for them. There’s so many reasons to go literally anywhere else. Not least, the cost.

      It’s like, you want to go on holiday somewhere where you can eat even more expensive McDonald’s and pay a fortune to get around because there’s no public transport. Oh, oh sorry I didn’t realise that you wanted to go to the Star Wars world at Disney, my bad…

        She visits New York multiple times a year. I think there should be a lifetime cap on trans oceanic flights, at least for pleasure

    There was not much love in Swizerland for Americans to begin with and now there’s certainly even less.

    Just anecdotal, but I noticed the comments on social media in general getting more pro-China and anti-US, which was unthinkable just a year ago.

      I’ve noticed it too, but with more like reluctant acceptance of the state of things, which are phrased like “not even China would do X!”… The shackles of chauvinism is still there, it’s only getting rusty…
