German teens denied entry to US for traveling ‘under false pretenses’ and ‘intended to work’: Border Patrol
ny post ^

A pair of backpacking German teens booted from the US lied about the purpose of their trip, Customs and Border Patrol said — but the women claim US officials “twisted” their words to trump up the allegations.

“Both claimed they were touring California but later admitted they intended to work — something strictly prohibited under US immigration laws for these visas.”

But the women — who were planning to continue on to Los Angeles and then Costa Rica after Hawaii — insisted they were interrogated by CBP for hours, and that transcripts show their words were “twisted” and outright falsified.

“It was handled crudely”

Sounds like neocon speak. Specifically the likes of Peggy Noonan. Fight or get to the sidelines.

Story was buried deep. Thanks for mentioning it. However, I still think it could have been handled better.

Democrat hangers-on in government jobs are engagning in passive-aggressive resistance to Trump by making ridiculous errors and overdoing enforcement in idiotic ways.

Journalists are real investigative when it comes to promoting their agenda but even at that they still have to make a big stink burger out of a nothing burger.

“You think foreign nationals can work in the USA without a work visa?”

Yeah, about 30 million of them.

If you have ever watched the border patrol/smuggler shows on TV that is probably the work that they had planned on doing.

Coming from a government worker in Leftist Hawaii and targeted at young white girls, this could be “malicious compliance.” The term refers to following a requirement or rule in a way that intentionally causes problems, often to highlight the rule’s flaws or to undermine its purpose while technically adhering to it.
