@Oma_Trisha_F @unlofl @dangillmor Problem is that they'll just reject entry based off the fact that the #USA is notoriois for doing #BorderControls strictly off "vibes" with neither repercussions nir appeals against it.

Add to that #LeséMajesté against the Orange Fash and I'd rather get forcibly disappeared than allowed in!

Macron vire un préfet qui l’a laissé marcher sous la pluie mais récompense les préfets les plus violents

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

   In a self-governing country the people are called citizens. Under a despotism or autocracy the people are called subjects. This is because in a free country the people are themselves sovereign, while in a despotic country the people are under a sovereign. In the United States the people are all citizens, including its President. The rest of them are fellow citizens of the President. In Germany the people are all subjects of the Kaiser. They are not his fellow citizens, they are his subjects.
   This is the essential difference between the United States and Germany, but the difference would vanish if we now submitted to the foolish or traitorous persons who endeavor to make it a crime to tell the truth about the Administration when the Administration is guilty of incompetence or other shortcomings. Such an endeavor is itself a crime against the nation. Those who take such an attitude are guilty of moral treason of a kind both abject and dangerous.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
