Foreigners would be foolish to come here. And they know it:
Sales for the FIFA Club World Cup, a series of precursor games ahead of next year’s North American World Cup, were already lackluster when, last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection bragged online about how its agents would be “suited and booted and ready to provide security for the first round of games.”
(…………)
A whole lot of soccer fans in America are Latino and foreign born. Why would they attend something like this with ICE and CBP saying they are “suited and booted up” for the event?
CBP took down the statement but obviously word got around.
Foreigners are not safe in this country even if they are perfectly legal. Check this out:
An Australian man who attended Columbia University and was returning to the United States for a holiday says he was detained and questioned for 12 hours by American border officials about his involvement in pro-Palestine activity on campus, before being deported.
