“Since President Donald Trump took office, there have been other incidents of tourists like Sielaff being stopped at U.S. border crossings and held for weeks at U.S. immigration detention facilities before being allowed to fly home at their own expense.
They include another German tourist who was stopped at the Tijuana crossing on Jan. 25. Jessica Brösche spent over six weeks locked up, including over a week in solitary confinement, a friend said.
On the Canadian border, a backpacker from Wales spent nearly three weeks at a detention center before flying home this week. And a Canadian woman on a work visa detained at the Tijuana border spent 12 days in detention before returning home last weekend.”
Honestly, no foreign tourist should come to America right now.

Even if these power tripping dipshits are right about the visas not being filed properly or whatever, what exactly is the point of detaining them for months aside from needless cruelty? Wouldn’t it be much cheaper, efficient you could even say, to just deny them entry and send them back? That’s how every other country handles this situation.
