US customs Treats Bereaved Australians Like Terrorists
ON SEPTEMBER ELEVEN or shortly thereafter, we lost our national mind. We were told by our government—which had just let us down and failed to do as much as scramble fighter planes while we were being attacked—not to trust anyone. The madness rolls on, clearly.
READING THIS ONE will really make you start humming the national anthem:
An Australian family who traveled to the US to visit a dying relative were accused of attempting to illegally immigrate by US Customs and Border Patrol officials, who caged them, detained them, starved them overnight, and then sent them back on the next flight to Australia. The US consulate’s only comment? “We reserve the right to refuse entry to visitors to the United States.”
A reminder to the US CBP: what you do to foreigners, their governments are apt to do to Americans. When you treat foreigners this way, you put Americans who go abroad in harm’s way.
Read the story of how they were treated to better understand the looks on their faces. I bet they think we’re getting too crazy and uptight about the TURRORIST threat and losing our national values and poise and decency. Damn ungrateful foreigners.
