World Cup - Visa discussion

**Razors left peg** · 28/03/2025, 2:00 PM

The latest thing that Im being bombarded with on social media is that Border officials are searching peoples phones as they go through customs. I have to say that it could be like a lot of stuff online and its utter nonsense but its definitely a part of my social media algorithm these days. The advice for US citizens is to remove fingerprint and facial recognition from the phone as they cannot force you to give the password, but for non citizens it is cause for further scrutiny and possible refusal of entry if you refuse to hand phone over for a search. It sounds absolutely ridiculous and something that would happen in N Korea, and Im not for one second saying it is true.... but also I would not be surprised if it is actually happening with how aggressive the distain for Non Americans has become within the administration.

Ah
Point at Joe Biden
Point at Joe Biden
Look what Joe Biden did

Is it really that simple to herd you all along still ?

Their visits to the US pre date Biden by a generation BTW.

We'd all like proof. What we got was a guy kept to 25 hours without sleep & deported for no good reason & you defend that all you like Sean. You keep to your No Comment line because I have drilled down a bit here with you today & you don't have anything other than what you've been told to think.

I suggest that a lot of people thought that the Democrats were letting in far too many people ~ Many of them the wrong people ~ Maybe things just went back to normal-service when the Democrats left power.

Seems to be a lot of conspiracy theorists on here !

Things are absolutely not normal here.

I am certainly not the one with group-think here !

Why were they let in every other time ?
Why was it not explained to him ?

Why won't you consider the obvious answer ?

You think this is normal Sean ?
You think this is how it all was before big bad Joe do you ?

Life can be complicated ~ ~ The supposed obvious answer may not be the correct answer ~ I like my proofs, I do !

The last 4 years was a shambles under Joe Biden and the Democrats ~ ~ Which is why President Donald J Trump is in the White-House now ~ ~ The Democrats are on 27% in the polls as it goes and maybe, going to go lower !

Again that's not what I asked but I don't know why I expected any different.

- with no proof whatsoever?

Gotcha.

Anyway, you were going to tell us what law these two people were deported under, and why it isn't a concern for the World Cup.

Were they illegally deported ?

**pineapple stu** · 28/03/2025, 2:33 PM

Certainly looks that way, in the absence of any reason to deport them.

And given you've repeatedly expressed the mantra of "American laws for America!", there's surely some onus on you to tell us what law you felt has been broken here?

**SkStu** · 28/03/2025, 2:43 PM

WTF is wrong with pot noodles?! FFS...

Obviously, one must assume it was for reasons that contradict the right to enter America ~ Unless ye are suggesting, that the American authorities broke American law !

I don't see why you're quite so quick to rule out the possibility to be honest.

The sitting President has broken American Laws a number of times

Surely there are many vested interests that would love to high-light that if it was true.

It's not as if, America doesn't have plenty of groups / vested interests that would make a big noise about that, if it was the case.
