Is it possible he/she was acting in a strange manner? Did he/she have something in their luggage that caused suspicion?

It's rather odd that more people want to come to this country than want to escape it...

Just for a point of reference, the Patriot Act was approved by both Houses and signed by the President. Thus far it's not been overturned by the Supreme Court.

If he/she really wants to come to this country, just have her/him enter thru the Mexican border....won't be a problem. There's no one left in Mexico to stop him/her. confused

I would think name calling is a bit childish and infantile also... if you dont like the posts you get...maybe you shouldnt start threads. And I wouldnt dare insult people from your country with such insulting comments you have made about people from mine... now who is the childish, infantile one here????

I thank the previous authors who have brought some sanity to this thread.
we can forgive the" my coutray right or wrong zealots and the plain stupid"

I run a 65 bedroomed hotel here in Scotland and am delighted to welcome US visitors I have a book full of testimonanials and invites.

It was never my intention to criicise anyone - Simply a question about my friend

The reactions from people sofar indicate some feeling of guilt.

security everywhere has increased...

its a sign of the times...

and believe me customs etc are way to busy..

to detain someone unless they have some sort of suspicion..

they may not always get it right..

but they never get it all wrong.....

Addendum:

I don't think anyone has a constitutional right to come, or be allowed in the United States.
But once a person gets in, they get better freebies than most U.S. citizens. confused

I read as I find - see replies. How much more infantile can you get " My country right or wrong" - I raised a legitimate point regarding visitors to the US and was swamped by people asking why I should have the cheek to complain"

I think he means, if you come here as a foriengner, and gain citizenship. you are eleigible for many Gov. grants to start buisnesses like, gas staions, Dollar stores. Get the picture? As a U.S., citizen, you could leave for 5 years, then re enter as a foriegner, and have more privilages then us right now.

Problems arise...

when people havent travelled and dont know what to expect......

so am giving you advice......

if you want to travel ANYWHERE in the world...

expect security to be in place...

the other option is to stay home......wine

Applicants should be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection has authority to deny admission. Also, the period for which the bearer of a visitor visa is authorized to remain in the United States is determined by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, not the consular officer. At the port of entry, a Bureau of Customs and Border Protection official must authorize the traveler's admission to the U.S. At that time the Form I-94, Record of Arrival-Departure, which notes the length of stay permitted, is validated. Those visitors who wish to stay beyond the time indicated on their Form I-94 must contact the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service to request Form I-539, Extension of Stay. The decision to grant or deny a request for extension of stay is made solely by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service.
