She was trying to use the Visa Waiver Program, but claims that the Australian agencies failed to supply her with the proper documents, but she traveled anyway. USA immigration officials deported her for breaching the conditions of the waiver program.
Apparently, she was coming here on a tourist waiver, but planned to be an au pair (house- and cat-sit in exchange for accommodations). The article says she was going to Canada, but it's unclear why she left the international zone at LAX if she was connecting directly. I think the Canada part was a future trip she was going to make once she got in.
Anyway, the scheme didn't work, she was planning to work, didn't have the proper paperwork and was sent back, and is now saying that the border agents were harassing her about abortions.

Your post provides a better summary of the events than the article. The article repeats itself numerous times before finally telling what happened.

She has the glow of youth and “fun girl” in her face.

We have enough problems without importing more
Airline officials will not allow someone to board if they don't have the correct papers. If a person flies to another country without the correct papers to enter that country, the airline has to take them back to their country of origin and the airline has to pay for the return flight. Therefore, airlines are quite diligent about this.
I call Au-bullshit in this story...
