Sounds like CBP assumed the girls were here to work as prostitutes and bounced them. This is actually pretty common in Hawaii - happens to Japanese and Filipinas.

Not required. Travelers get turned away at airports every day. It is almost a running joke - every traveler that got turned away would have been just fine crossing the Southern border illegally.

"These two teenage girls from Germany were detained, arrested, and deported.

First, link to where they were arrested - they were not, they were detained. But, go away and provide you link to an arrest.

That is typically the process for being rejected at the airport. They are detained (not arrested), interrogated, and then deported. If the next plane out does not leave until the morning, you are spending the night in detention.

"There's a difference between being arrested and being detained?
#18 | Posted by snoofy"

Yes.

But, you clearly did not know that or were caught in a lie.

"I was quoting the article.
#20 | Posted by snoofy"

Words matter - and in this case, the ------- liberal that wrote the article is intentionally lying to you. They were detained.

"It's a difference without a distinction.
#23 | Posted by snoofy"

An arrest requires probable cause and will result in charging a crime. Detention does not mean a crime was committed. Big difference. Hence, you don't have the same rights. You cannot appeal a denial of entry claim. It has been this was for decades and 1000+ people have this happen every year. You are making a big deal out of this case because Trump is president.

"This case and so many others are only happening because of Trump's policies of hostility to tourists."

Yet, when it happened 1000+ times last year, you didn't make a peep. Why is that?

"You're on the record supporting the deportation of these tourists at taxpayer expense
#25 | Posted by snoofy"

We don't need suspected German prostitutes in the country - so yes, deport them. This story obviously leaves out a ton of details. If you can prove you have the financial means to pay for a hotel - either through cash on hand or proven deposits, they would not have had a problem. If they travelled here for 5 weeks and had no cash or means to pay for a hotel - they are going to be suspected of being prostitutes and rejected. They do the same to Japanese, Koreans, and Filipinas so I am happy to see the policy enforced in a color blind manner. Trump continues to prove he is not a racist.

"Snoofy, LyinYav, PschoPhant, and da JpW all didn't care before today, now they scream and yell about it.

Not only that, but they have been instantly certified as experts on CBP procedures at international airports. These -------- truly think that this was the first time anyone has been rejected entry despite having a VISA. They are clueless.

"You think tourists on a five week visit should be required to carry sufficient cash to pay for five weeks in a hotel, or be denied entry?"

That is why they expect you to pre-book. An 18 and 19 year old girl traveling by themselves without cash or proven sufficient cash in bank accounts instantly makes CBP assume they are here to work illegally - likely as prostitutes. They think that because it is logical to think that - if you don't have cash or deposits, how are you going to pay for your expenses? For people that apply for a VISA to the US, they are required to prove this in advance of getting the VISA.

"That amount of cash you'd have to declare at Customs.
#33 | Posted by snoofy"

Which is why you pre-book with a credit card or prove you have bank deposits.

"There is absolutely an accusation in that demand.
#36 | Posted by Danforth"

There is a logical conclusion - if you have no cash or proven reserves, how do you intend to pay for your expenses in the US without illegally working?

BTW, still waiting on your link proving the .1% got over 50% of Trump's tax cuts --------. So, just admit you lied and stop running home to mommy.

"Having a credit card does not prove you have money.
#41 | Posted by snoofy"

Doesn't prove you can pay your credit card bill but does prove you can pay the hotel bill and living expenses.

"It doesn't prove that either.
#43 | Posted by snoofy"

Your credit score is so bad that you never had a credit card, isn't it? Credit cards work like this - the hotel will swipe your card and the room is paid for. A month later, the credit card company will ask you to pay interest and/or the outstanding balance. So, whether you can pay the credit card bill is irrelevant to whether the hotel can accept payment and allow you to stay there.

If you have no cash, bank deposits, or credit cards (which aren't really used in Germany), you are likely intending to work illegally to pay for your stay - probably as a prostitute - and they are tossed out of the country.

And before you say it - YES - I know you don't have any money and YES I do endorse you getting deported to El Salvador despite being a US citizen.

"That's funny. The more you talk, the less you know what you're talking about."

Well, seeing how you don't know how they work, one would think you never had one.

"Oh, you got that one right."

I get EVERYTHING right.

"maybe you can agree with me when I said "Having a credit card does not prove you have money.""

I already said this:
Doesn't prove you can pay your credit card bill but does prove you can pay the hotel bill and living expenses.
#42 | Posted by ScottS

From the US perspective, if your hotel is paid and the living expenses are paid while here - I don't give 2 ----- if you can't pay your credit card in Germany. That is between you and your credit card company.

"Regardless, that doesn't prove you're not a prostitute, does it? Of course not!
#46 | Posted by snoofy"

How are an 18 and 19 year old girl without money and no pre-arranged hotels going to pay for their multiple week stay in the US without working illegally? Same standard they apply to travelers from Asia. The girls were rightfully denied entry and booted from the country.

"Who says they are without money?
#49 | Posted by snoofy"

That will be the first line of screening to determine if there is an intent to work illegally. It seems the girls admitted to intending to work illegally which is why they are saying CBP 'twisted their words'. The fact they didn't have hotels booked was just the reason for the 2nd round of questioning.

"Why would they choose to come to Hawaii to be illegal prostitutes, when prostitution is legal in Germany?
#50 | Posted by snoofy"

Why do they go to Dubai? Probably because they can make more money in better conditions. I assume the rates in Germany are plummeting with the surge in Ukrainian prostitutes.

"#59 | Posted by moder8"

An actual good post from you. And yes, as I stated above - they were denied entry because they lacked resources to pay for their stay. If they could have proven sufficient resources on the secondary check, they would be in the US now.

Also, as I said - happens all the time. This case is nothing new except the whining because it is under Trump.
