Vanity - Tourists can't even come visit?
08/06/2018 | self

Posted on 08/06/2018 12:31:45 AM PDT by Cementjungle

My friends (a couple) from South Africa have a 2 week visit planned to see me at my place here in Las Vegas. This trip they were planning to bring their good friend, a younger (21 year old) friend of theirs (they're late 20's).

The US denied her tourist visa... without asking any questions. The reason "risk of immigration".

WTF?

A young gal, with a family, friends, job (fitness model) in South Africa can't join her friends in the US for 2 weeks with return ticket in hand? But, anyone waltzing across the Mexican border is in for life no questions asked?

This does not surprise me at all. My foreign fwife had to apply several times before she was finally able to obtain a tourist visa.

Been there, done that, never got a visa. I asked an agent why I couldn’t get the same privileges that illegal aliens get? He said people are not illegal. That is swamp talk 101.

We tried for years to get a girl from Peru a visa so she could stay in our home but it was always denied. My wife, who was born in Peru and has family there, even went to the American embassy in Lima and gave all sorts of guarantees and she still got turned down. What they look for is the roots you have and how much you have to lose if you don’t go back. A single person who doesn’t own a home sets off alarm bells. We had plenty of Peruvians come visit over the years and they were all married property owners.

Why are the authorities willing to grant your two friends an entry visa, but not their friend?

Aren’t all three coming from South Africa?

Think of the total picture, which a government has to do. Perhaps your friends should take this as a wake-up call and look at the South Africa situation objectively. Perhaps for their own survival, they should find a place to move permanently.

50% of illegals come on valid visas , tourist, student, work etc. Then overstay. Why we need a system to track them onfe they are here.

Good luck to your friends. A storm is coming.

In Tanzania couples traveling together are often denied Visa by the Tanzanian government. If one of the couple’s decides to come over for business and leaves the spouse behind it’s usually approved just as long as it doesn’t appear that they are traveling out of the country and not returning. But as I said it’s the Tanzanian government that denies the Visa in that case. Are you quite certain it was the US that denied the Visa or was it the South African government that denied the Visa?

No, no, no -- that just won't do, too much Gentile privilege there -- I think you qualify for the Deluxe Package with Fashion Enhancement featuring a stylish collar to help keep your mind aligned on higher-level thinking.... ;-)

I have carefully considered this as well, and as long as the female fitness instructors are hot,like really hot, we should have an express lane at immigration for them.

Yes. Our immigration system is that messed up. Even with a valid tourist visa, Immigration gives foreign tourists whites especially a hard time entering the country. I have friends in Ukraine and going in and out there is a breeze compared to here.

If you visit our town on the San Fran peninsula, you’d think you were in either Peking or Bombay. Except for the filth.

Awwwww! Things always look worse when one feels personally inconvenienced/put out - many such folks manage to find such things as “noble cause” clauses in the Constitution or reasons why topics/people they are familiar with should be treated differently than the Hoi Polloi....Crap happens and mature folks deal with it - they don’t go crying on a forum about the inhumanity of it all - unless they’re part Snowflake...must suck to be you and them.

This country needs to allow in the South Africans who are currently being persecuted by the corrupt regime. Their property is being stolen by the government, and the government will deliberately and intentionally not try to stop the forthcoming genocide.

The victims would do very well here, with the added benefit that they would be race realists.

The victims of this racist genocide should be allowed to immigrate here.

"as long as (they) are hot, like really hot, we should have an express lane at immigration for them."

Roll out the red carpet:
