My wife wants to go to the Philippines and I'm scared shitless she'll be barred reentry. She thinks there's zero issue as she's legal and her friends have managed to make the trip lately.
Holy shit
I would really try to make her understand what's been happening. Being legal doesn't mean a goddamned thing. I don't know how important this trip is, but I would not do it unless someone's dying.
The risk might be small at the end of the day, but the downside, if they randomly pick you to fuck up that day, is basically infinite.
Tell her that not only will that not help her, and that they've already deported legal immigrants, but that they're also doing everything in their power to invalidate visas.
They say they only want to deport illegal immigrants but they're lying, they want to deport all immigrants.
They're not lying they just consider all immigrants illegal and brown ones moreso. It's a nativist movement in the US yet again and it makes just as much sense as it did in 1780.
But they are lying, because they're not illegal.
Classic Comparative optimism bias. 'this only happens to other people"
