It’s also an incredibly stupid bureaucratic clusterfuck of the magnitude that only customs and border people can achieve. Surely there should be some mechanism wherein you can send a letter or something to the Russian authorities to inform them, “Hey, we’re trying this stupid stunt and here is our plan, let us make our declarations now and we’ll pick up all the paperwork on the way once we get there.” But there probably isn’t, and then you wind up with crap like this.
The tinniest of tin-pot jumped up little dictators are never to actually be found in your nation’s capital. Instead they’re all lined up along its borders acting like these various lines in the sand were laser-etched there by god and aren’t ultimately just arbitrary and, indeed, historically much more fluid than they’d like to pretend.
If you think that you’d be treated differently entering USA in undesignated point of entry… You’d be right. If you didn’t get shot on the spot, you’d rot in jail for decades until somebody decides to deal with your case.
The US is not a safe place for anyone especially POC.
That’s the accurate statement. Yes ICE/Border Patrol are disproportionately targeting POC, but they’re not stopping there.
Like I didn’t say this earlier because in context it was irrelevant and I hate having to write lengthy comments that discuss every part of a large complex issue, but here we are.
Lol. I’m white passing. I can tell you with certainty that the danger is disproportionately aimed at one side of the Melanin scale. (It isn’t the side I inhabit, btw.)
Okay cool you can say that as much as you want, but there are documented cases demonstrating that this effects everyone in the US or attempting to enter.
I even acknowledged already that POC are disproportionately affected in my last comment. Why are you trying to manufacture an argument?

It’s Russia.

He is white. I’m sure they would slap him on the ass and tell him not to get into too much trouble.
Don’t know if you’ve heard but the US has been arresting white German citizens lately
Don’t know what you’ve heard but the government is specifically targeting people based on their Melanin.
