An Australian man who was detained upon arrival at Los Angeles airport and deported back to Melbourne

This from back in June, but I had not seen it then, and I thought, what with Fuckstick losing his marbles more every day, it will be so much more worse now.

An Australian man who was detained upon arrival at Los Angeles airport and deported back to Melbourne says United States border officials told him it was due to his writing on pro-Palestine protests by university students.

Alistair Kitchen said he left Melbourne on Thursday bound for New York and was detained for 12 hours and interrogated by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials during the stopover in Los Angeles.

The 33-year-old said he was “clearly targeted for politically motivated reasons” and said officials spent more than 30 minutes questioning him about his views on Israel and Palestine including his “thoughts on Hamas”.

1. OMG!

WTF ??? I haven't really heard of this type of turnaround (and go home) before.

2. Oh yeah, the World Cup and Olympics are going to go swimmingly

Ten hour lines while they search your social media and then deported at the end of it.

3. I think that...

The rest of the world should boycott the US until this shit is over. Might go rather quickly at that point.

5. Tourism from other countries

is already way way way off, in areas like Las Vegas, Florida vacationers, Disneyworld, etc etcEtc AND no one from Canada...., and a large number of Europeans aren't coming to the U.S. for vacations either......

I guess Lardass and his CABAL don't begin to understand just how many industries depend on the tourists......
Condo Rentals, Apartment Rentals, Restaurants, Car rentals, Hotels, transportation, the list is endless.........
And is like falling dominoes, cascading down............

4. This was a surprise when I first read about it. There are maggots that don't like Jews in addition to not liking

black and brown people.

Maggoty feeling about Jews can fall into three categories that I know about:

They don't care one way or another.

Jews and Israel are supported because supporting Israel will lead to Armageddon and the return of Jesus.

Jews are bad because they helped kill their Jesus.

So anyway, I'm not surprised that his point of view got him sent back to Australia.
