Again, I don’t understand why you are aiming this toward me or my remarks. This is thread about challenges with border guards. Under the present circumstances, as someone living in the US, I would expect there to be more challenges at the border. And I’ve said so. Recently my spouse and I came home from Europe. With our US passports and spouse’s “Global entry” we were still subject to more than the usual questioning at immigration. If this is happening to citizens, I would imagine it would happen to non-citizens. The reason people get asked these questions is in part to make sure people won’t overstay their visas so yes I’d imagine that something the US government considers “employment” that would allow people to stay here longer would be scrutinized more. That is my opinion and I think given that i’m on the ground here it has some weight.
I don’t know why in reply to me are telling me what you would say to the border guards. I’m not arguing with you about what you plan to tell them. You can tell the border guards whatever you want. Factually, most people get through without much questioning. If you follow this thread however you’ll see that some people don’t. If you’ve ever travelled you are probably aware that sometimes randomly people get stopped for secondary screenings. It is my belief that these “challenges” are bound to increase at US borders.
