sounds like it to me...
were're killin terrorists in my world... how about yours?
So 30 hours in detention, forced to sign a request for a withdrawl of your visa, without reason since his papers were in perfect order wouldn't make you whiny?
My guess would be he's out the G....that's how things work 'round these parts.
I beleive it's on the Airline actually. They have a duty to ensure you have the proper documentation for international travel. However in this case they seemed to have done that, so maybe the taxpayer is stumping for it.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah. They called me a mexican"
Yes. People are civil to each other, and don't treat others like criminals straight off the bat.
Canada's immigration people are dicks too. The difference is that they aren't usually clinically retarded like the INS people are.
Have you traveled much lately?
I don't recall this in the linked article. Pop culture reference?
Who knows? Just because they are lazy does not mean that they may not also be incompetent. Maybe they thought they were doing the right thing and then when the "boss" showed up and saw the underlings had made a mistake he made the guy sign to revoke his visa in an attempt to save face.
speculation. Like I said, I would like to hear the other side of this story, but if the airlines were responsible for checking out his passport in advance and then they are required to forward passenger manifests to the US, where do you think the funk-up occurred?
Ok, first off, you can't refute a crappy forum post with another crappy forum post and proclaim victory.
I was just pointing out that its not all lollypops and sunshine like Changleen likes to pretend. That happened to pop into my mind as a first-hand example and ON TOP was even MTB related. I figure thats worth something.:biggrin:
I know you have already been chastized on this, but you point out a story based on a convicted criminal, and then you use America Jr. as your example of a different country!
I travel and have travelled frequently and extensivly and have travelled to most parts of the world, although admittedly not much in South America other than Mexico. I have never been treated anything like that story. Not even slightly close. Even when people ask a lot of questions, they are still civil.
Is that really your take?
Last time I went to Canada (from the US rather than a direct flight) the Border guy did ask a lot of questions, and was very interested in car insurance for some reason, but no detention, no suggestion that we were criminals...
Plus most of the cargo container that enter the US are not searched.
If BS had his way we would have full body cavity searches! Thats thorough
Did you kick their ass and tell them to come in legally? I sure as hell would of chewed some ass....even if they didn't speak english (typical american, I only speak engrish).
Could be a different story though if your traveling on an American passport.
Nah - I had them wash my car for a nickle.
They are beyond dicks 80% of the time. The other 20% they act like they are asleep and stamp things without even looking.
Did you at least gap the river?? Comon, tell me something cool came out of the pics!!
Its funny you mention this....both my grandparents on my moms side are from Ireland and I'm in the process of applying for my citizenship thru their citizenship. This will give me an EU passport. Part of the reason I'm doing it is for ease of travel.....this way I can talk funny, drink a crap load and people will think its normal and that I'm coolCould be a different story though if your traveling on an American passport.
I have heard storys of quite a few Yanks who try to pretend to be canadian when traveling to have an easier time from the locals......
LOL!!!
You almost make it sound like killing raghead children is a bad thing. Why do you hate America?
You sir, are a man among men. Approved.
