re: #377 _RememberTonyC
excellent point … and I’m glad we’ve tightened up in that area
Well, having a high level of border security is certainly a laudable goal, but when it comes at the expense of making foreigners afraid to visit us, it rather defeats the whole idea of being an open country. The horror stories faced by visitors at our ports are numerous, chilling and embarrassing to read and think about. Frankly, I can’t blame the IOC for turning us down for that reason alone!
BTW-this problem has been going on since at least Clinton’s time, so it’s certainly a bi-partisan mess…
