US citizen questioning by customs upon return

[HomerJS]

Story told by comedian Nikki Glaser.

What do you think of this?

 

[skyking]

Customs workers are people. Perhaps they were interested on a personal level about the comedy.

 

[Greenman]

I think a person was asked an odd question at customs, answered honestly, then went about their business.

 

[Indus]

Laura Poitras vibes.

She eventually had to move to Germany full time.

How is that relevant to anything? What is the purpose of that question to a US citizen?

None AFAIK unless the constitution doesn't exist anymore.

And was put on a list. Legitimate? Is asking in this instance any more appropriate then asking at a job interview?

So nothing concerns you about agents of the government asking you about your political beliefs? This feels appropriate to you?

Good old magat greenman. Let’s hope he leaves country and comes back under “woke” president only to be questioned about his evil political beliefs and then sent to el,Salvador Gulag due to profound stupidity and evil. Sound good greenman? Sounds good to me 👍

What list, when and where? Glaser speculated about a list, but offered nothing to support the idea.

Good little fascist.

Focus on the all too plausible speculation, and not the absolute fact that merely asking the completely pointless (to the mission) question in the first place makes the speculative even remotely possible.

It's non of their fucking business what she does or if she talkes about the President, or do you believe even US citizens don't have rights?

 

[HomerJS]

Why would the question even be asked? Don't give me that "border patrol did it on his own" What business is it of theirs material a comedian uses? Only logical conclusion they are maintaining a list of anyone deemed to be anti-Trump.

They've already arrested citizens, what makes you think they are not keeping these lists.

Fixed.

Theyre already questioning citizens for social media. People are being questioned about anti trump posts on FB. I felt compelled to delete all social apps on my phone when I re-entered the country a few weeks ago. My company's HR sent out an email to that effect this week as well.

A colleague on a visa here was advised by HR not to travel for ANY REASON.

Full fascism is here, and fuck all you cunts who made it possible.

US Customs- Anything to declare?
US Citizen- No
US Customs- Any, Clothes, Household Appliances, Electronics, Computers, Phones, Vehicles, School Supplies, Prescription Drugs, Illegal Drugs, Pets, Children, Preserved Food items, Fresh Fruit/Vegetables, or Communist Propaganda?
US Citizen-No
US Customs- ok, go

Turning into East Germany. No one wants to go there and it's getting harder to get out.

And this would be your reaction at the border under the AOC administration if the question was "Have you ever voted for Trump?".

Right? This guy is so cooked.

Yeah, at minimum cell phones and devices should be turned off going through customs. Pass codes can't be forced like biometrics (in case you're set up that way).

But with these power hungry mall cops, they’ll take this as a sign of guilt not as a precaution. Like many stories now of Canadians being refused entry because they carried a burner phone. Why is your phone empty!!!! You have something to hide!!!!!!

Just imagine in the future when the Democrats are in power and they start doing Fascist checks at the border.

 

[DZero]

Imagine if MAGA people gets the same treatment outside US and even outside MAGA states

LOL I once flew back with just a backpack and no luggage..

The customs gave me a long stare like.. seriously you travelled internationally with just a backpack??

They really want to find something and fine you for not declaring something.

I went through immigration with my wife and filled out the forms.

They ask question if you're part of the Nazi party or worked for them.

Wouldn't it be something if the rest of the world starts asking on visa forms.. are you part of the MAGA party or worked/ voted for them?

Would totally make sense.. they don't want to import our cancer!
