USA Immigration

[Guest]

lostinlos thinks that USA policy on immigration and terroism is screwed up.

mdavidsf thinks that our policy is not screwed up because USA did not start current terroism by flying airplanes into another countries tall buildings killing thousands of people

it appears that 100% of respondents agree with mdavid

I still see more Pakistani Cab drivers in America than Asian Transexuals...that screwed up to me !

The US policies on transgendered immigration is fully screwed up. It's still easier for a potential terrorist to get in to the country than for a pretty girl who happens to have a cock, based purely on the religious communities and their prejudices.

From my own experience US immigration policy was screwed up long before 9/11.

At least since then the immigration officials show the same level of ignorance, prejudice and/or lack of consideration to nearly everybody equally.

Boys, be careful with what you have in your camera when you return to the good old USof A.
On my return in Nov. I was targeted by a huffy bitch customs officer she marked my cusoms card up in red when I am at the last checker he says " follow the yellow line." wWell the yellow line takes you to a table with a customs officer asking, are those your bags, where have you been, how long were you there, who did you visit.
Now the fun stuff, do you have a camera? (yes I do), do you have any military equipment in your bags,(no) do you have any food,(no) he fumbles with camera, ( do you want to see the pitcures) yes, ( I fire up the camera) he starts to scroll thru it asking questions, who is this, where is this. Having found no nasty photos of little kids he looses all interest. Ok you can go now, never looked in another bag or at anything else.
The only thing I can say old guy who makes multiply trips to Thailand is a target, so be careful what you have in camera.

Since I have made so many trips to Thailand in the last half dozen years I have become a favorite target for the U.S. Customs Department at the San Francisco Airport. They tag my custom card for inspection every time. What pisses me off is they all ask the same questions every single time. Maybe in a different order but when I tell them that my answers have not changed and you have the same information on your computer screen and you know the know my answer is not going to chance why the bother? At this point in time they figure I am a wise ass and just want to yank my chain. I love to leave a memory stick in my digital camera with some purely bullshit pictures on it. Prior to leaving my Hotel I will take a picture of a lamp, a desk, the shower, dirty cloths, the top of my head, the carpet and anything else that makes no sense. Then when the agent is carefully examining them I get this shit-eating grin on my mug. They also love to look in any envelope with trip information, I make sure to have a few sheets of paper with Thai phrases for cursing, asking the girls for favors and other out of the ordinary phrases. I figure if they are going to treat me like I am some terrorist or even worse a child molester I am going to stick my thumb in their eye and call what they are doing "bullshit."

I got up that morning before work and turned on the TV to catch the news...And the first live feed I saw were those of 1st plane just after it plowed into the one of the towers...and then I watched live TV in shock and horror as the second plane hits its mark...That's something that I and millions of other Americans will never forget or forgive...

And I agree the idiot in the White House is way wrong about our foreign policy...But if the
immigration policies keep out just one single potential terrorist while 1,000,000 tourists find it inconvenient...That's just too fucking bad...

And what in the hell does customs inspection have to do with immigration policy...If you look like a potential pedophile your gonna get stopped whether you're a US citizen or a visitor from Andorra...

Rant over...everyone go back to work....Merry Xmas...

Well if you name is Moe, then maybe it is short for Mohammed. So you could be a potential throat-slitter with the Religion of Peace and that is probably a bigger red flag than being an old perv with a boner for Thailand.

And it is not like there are no members of the 72-virgins-club in Southern Thailand...

Unless of course those terrorists are from the IRA - many of them convicted of offences.

The same IRA that had training camps (run as businesses) in Libya, Lebanon, Peru, Nicaragua......

And don't kid yourself that they have now given up being terrorists - they just changed their business strategy in recent years.

Like I said above - US immigration policy was screwed up before 9/11 and it still is.

strange stories..... I have been to Thailand 30 or more times and only gotten the 3rd degree the very first time....since then waved right through every time

So did you say, "Since you're on that side of the yellow line I guess that means you take it up the ass. Sorry, you ain't my type.



If you've never been to the Eden Club, never mind, the above won't make any sense..

One time they did a quick check, maybe 30 seconds.

Another time I asked the customs guy before I went through is bringing back coffee (food item) from Indonesia a problem.. And he replied, "don't worry, we know all about you" Think he was just fucking with my head to try to get a reaction.
