    Fuck Greyhound for not demanding a warrant. And especially the driver who is either too fucking dumb to know peoples' rights or outright fucking lied that non-citizens couldn't ride the bus.

    the video wouldn't play - my passport is expired (or so the dark web would have me believe!) :shock: what is it "they" don't want me to see? :unsure:
    But reading the comments it wasn't Greyhound it was another bus company. Also it wasn't ICE it was just the border patrol. Regardless, if it's the bus company's policy to prove citizenship to ride it has to advertised/promoted/distributed/written out for every potential customer. But more importantly every employee of that company needs to know and follow and enforce the rules for employees and customers. Kind of a "no shoes, no shirt, no service" thing. You want to go shirtless, patronize another place. A bus is public transportation like an airliner. You want to fly, you have to follow the rules.

    They have a right to ask and you have a right to simply ignore them and refuse to answer. I also wonder if doing this in Maine was in response to Canadian requests. The reason I am guessing is that Canada has recently been flooded by fakers claiming asylum and it has become a political hot potato in Canada. A lot of them are people who lost their temporary protected status after grifting on that for almost 20 years so now they don't want to go home and are hoping to grift off Canadian taxpayers.

    Which gets you kicked off the bus, if the asshat who was on duty that day has anything to do with it.

    I doubt that is true as several people in the video refused and the report did not mention anyone getting kicked off the bus.

    When I went on the cruise to Alaska we went on a train excursion that crossed into Canada. The train stopped and Canadian border patrol got on the train. Completely lacking in humor, the lot of them, they checked all our passports. It was serious business for them.

    So let me get this straight, you’re claiming this is a Canadian conspiracy? A bigoted policy in New Hampshire is somehow the fault of (alleged) “fake” economic migrants in Canada????

    Yeah, go on proving how you’re not a bigot. :facepalm: :jayzus:

    Why that rep to me?

    I'm simply pointing out to Forbin that America and Canada still take border crossings seriously.

    Yeah, the article linked to a previous incident that involved Greyhound where the same thing happened. Because shit like this ain't isolated. :(

    Chup, please stop being stupid and actually read what people wrote. I know it is a long shot but I still think you could do it if you tried.

    For people who are not as dense and ignorant as Chup. Canada has indeed asked the U.S. for help in reducing the flow of would be asylum seekers and I was wondering out load if having boarder patrol checks near the Canadian border might be one way they decided to help. As most of the fakers probably do take a bus to the border that sounds like a reasonably hypothesis.

    “Wondering out loud” :dayton:

    In other words you are trying to draw a connection where there was none in order to pursue your regular demonisation of immigrants.

    You’re a bigoted disgrace.

    You really are dumb, dude. You call people names then snivel when they respond in kind. Meanwhile you don't even read the post immediately above yours.

    You are really becoming a parody, man, so stop copying Garamet and try to make meaningful comments.

    As I have said many times, legal immigration is a good thing. Illegal immigration should never be tolerated and fraudsters should always be rooted out and punished.

    Ok. Chup is having an episode. I feel for the man's decline but he gets to be the third person on my ignore list in nearly a decade; joining Sokar and Garamet. In a month I will check and see if his mental state has improved or if his descent has continued. If he gets better he can come off the ignore list.

    Oh fuck off. You demonised every single migrant who fled Syria (among other places) as a “rapefugee” and an economic migrant.

    Let me explain a bit of basic international law to you. If a person legitimately flees a warzone and persecution in the manner many of these people have they qualify as refugees under the 1951 Refugee Convention. That means they should be granted asylum in the receiving state. That means they aren’t “illegal”.

    Don’t try and lecture a 20 year veteran immigration lawyer about immigration. You don’t have a bloody clue.

    What’s more, I know a bigoted cunt when I see one, especially slime like you looking for the most tenuous of reasons to demonise immigrants.

    Since we are on the topic of illegal aliens and fakers abusing the asylum system it is worth noting Merkel in Germany is likely going to have her government coalition fall apart in the next two days specifically over this very issue.

    It turns out the recent high profile wave of young German girls getting raped and murdered by fake refugees has turned a majority of the public against Merkels open door polices and now even her allies in Bavaria are turning on her.

    @K.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...ed-raping-killing-teen-girl-returned-germany/

    There has been at least three high profile cases such as this in recent months and it certainly has the SCI demanding action so much so there is talk about them leaving Merkels coalition unless stronger measures are inacted. You can call that a fantasy all you want but it is one the front papers of half the newspapers in the western world.

    I'm not going the usual fifteen rounds with your reading comprehension disability. Instead, how's this: You are saying Merkel might well be out of a job within two days. Your source says a week. To be absolutely fair, I will give you two weeks. Let's bet. I say she is still Chancellor after two weeks, you say she isn't. Winner writes the loser's user title and sig for two months.

    Did you notice you went from it being likely that Merkel's government will fall apart to it perhaps even likely won't fall apart?
