    The agency noted it treats all travelers with integrity, respect and professionalism.

    Uh huh

    I remember the professionalism at the El Paso border crossing where, while in near freezing conditions, armed guards with barking dogs shoved a pregnant women while yelling “get the fuck back in line!” Because she had the audacity to walk out of the line to ask if she could please please wait inside because she couldn’t stand anymore

    Fuck US border patrol, all of them

    I have horror story after horror story of dealing with them, in New York, atlanta, El paso, los angeles, the list goes on and on and on… If it’s up to me I’ll never again go to the US for whatever reason. I’m so done with the sick, sick, diseased country

      Dude I don’t understand why the ones in New York such assholes. Like is it too much to be treated like a normal human being. I’ve also caught hints of prejudice toward how they treated me and treated others with a foreign accent. It’s disgusting

        GET IN THE FUCKING LIIIIIIIINEEEEEE!!!

        The response i got, complete with tomato red face when i politely asked if it were possible for me to remain with my would-be wife in the airport lickup because we travelled through the US to Mexico, just passing by, and she (Mexican) didn’t have a visa.

        Gets assault rifle aimed at head by some military idiot when airport metal detector beeps because I forgot my belt

        Yup. This was April 2002, but IDGAF, you insane fuckers

        Get a case with multiple hard drives lifted up and purposely slammed into the desk when I mention the border officer if he van be careful because that’s really fragile

        Fuuuucckk new yooooork

        I never visited New York, and will never want to, fuck that place.

      My partner and I decided during his last term that we will never go back to the states again. I don’t even want a flight I’m on to land there temporarily for any reason.

      The disease that is the US has been affecting our country for far too long.
