I am an American, and I will warn you -- Do not come here!
We've locking up people who have Visas, who paid the fee, who passed the interview, who have never once wished us harm, or spoke out against any political party.
None of that matters.
You can be locked be for just being brown. Or can be white, and still be locked up, because the person checking visas is in a bad mood. Or, in the case of a recent Canadian, didn't respond well when someone was trying to flirt with her.
And once locked up, you can pretty much vanish in the system for days, weeks, or even months without a phone call.
Do not come here.
This is not the United States you know, or thought you knew. We're a nation gone insane, and it is not safe to come here.
Some of us would love to leave here, and we would if we could.
