You would think that being the subject of such awful treatment would have instilled some empathy in you. Instead, it seems to have turned you into an awful, vindictive human being. Please seek professional help to deal with your trauma.

Because EU nations aren't going to change their attitude, and would continue to treat non-western passport holders in the same way as her.

Maybe now Germans know how it feels for a Turkish or Moroccan national who is working on a visit or family visa and looking behind their shoulder.

We have known a long time already. This was under the Biden administration:

You will be happy to know that the detained person was a White Australian. By the way, whenever I see pictures of US border patrol officers, many of them are not White.

> He had been warned about the need to prove his plan to exit the US, but was unaware of the rule that requires those entering on the waiver to have booked either a return flight or onward travel to a country that does not border the US.

Are you kidding me? Even I know about this.

Jesus you Firangis are so entitled, and don't know how to do visa research.

Absolutely, now Bogan Barry knows how it feels on Nauru or Christmas Island.

I'm a Brown American, but after this election and others across western nations, I've come to realize you Firangis won't come to help us. You only speak out when it's one of you guys facing this kind of dehumanization, not us.

I'm sure you have legitimate reasons to be frustrated, and have been describing things that really happen and double standards that really exist.

At the same time, perpetuating race war on HN, which is what your comments in this thread are doing, is not ok. It only makes things worse, so please stop and please don't do it again.

p.s. The people breaking the site guidelines in response to you ought not to have been doing that either, of course. I've responded to those now, or at least most of them.

Please don't cross into personal attack, no matter how bad another comment is or you feel it is. That only makes everything worse.
