Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it
You’re angry at America and ICE, but it was Canada that refused her entry and first took issue with her activity
It’s amazing how you put those right and wrongs side by side in one sentance and still do not understand the issue.
They’re angry because canada did the right thing and told her to go back where she came from.
USA detained her, jailed her and kept her imprisoned without allowing her to leave without any due process, all based on vibes.
They could’ve detained her until her flight came to get her out of US.
Given the opportunity Canada did not do what usa does.
USA is NOT a safe country to travel to and nobody should go there.
The USA detained her at the border because a) there was no direct way for her to go back home from the US/Canada land border; b) she had been refused entry by Canada, who have similar entry requirements, meaning the US should be refusing her entry also; and c) she had already been in the country for 3 weeks and they needed to investigate what she had been doing. That’s an awful lot more than just “vibes”.
But yes, as I said in my comment above, the length of detention is the real fucked up part. That’s longer than needed to sort the logistics or perform any necessary investigations, and proves that this is just about filling private prisons at the expense of taxpayers.
Canada was not in the same position as the US, so the two responses aren’t directly comparable. However, you’re right that the US is not a safe country - I’d even caution US citizens against crossing the border right now.
