Canadian woman sent to Arizona detention for trying to renew her TN visa

[wenc]

I was a TN holder once and had company lawyers prepare my TN dossier so that it was watertight so I was never refused.

A refusal should only result in applicant being turned back and asked to try again after having addressed the shortcomings. There is nothing illegal about that.

Unless she is being held for something else that the story is not telling us about, refusal is no grounds for detention.

In Trump's America, it is cruelty for its own sake. I'm sure he's especially gleeful about this happening to a Canadian.

Having incomplete paperwork is not a crime. Our tax dollars are paying for this insanity. It's immoral, and then for addded insult it's a giant waste of money. Prison is very expensive.

[sillywalk]

Apparently it's a for-profit prison.

Why was she detained rather than denied entry?

If someone doesn't have the necessary paperwork to enter the US, don't let them cross the border. ICE needs to get DOGEd, they're wasting a bunch of tax payer money on providing room and board to illegal immigrants.

"I don’t know how someone in her position can be subject to this"

She broke the law, it doesn't matter whether she is attractive, affluent and Canadian.

She tried to enter with a visa application in her hand and declared it as such, is that what you call breaking the law?

[moaf]

It's interesting how you read "her position" to mean "affluent, attractive Canadian who broke the law", and not "attempting to pass through a border crossing with an incomplete application for a Trade NAFTA work visa".

Well I do agree that this statement sounded bad, for me it sounded

"how can they treat her this way (inhumane) she is not a poor mexican"

its not ok to treat anyone inhumanely, no one ever, not just people in specific situation or from specific background

[silverquiet]

The first lady seems to have come to the US under similar circumstances.

[hw-guy]

Read it again...she did not break any law. At most, she should have been given a chance to turn back and try again once she worked out the paperwork. But for Trumpists like you, the cruelty is icing on the cake.

You know the game Paper's Please?

Where you are running border security for a totalitarian communist state?

Even that game doesn't want you to detain people for having an improper work visa for entry, just turn them away.
