This article leaves out the part where these 2 people were attempting to enter the US on a tourist visa but admitted they intended to work and they had no accommodation organised.
The denial of entry sounds justified and the fact that this article leaves out the part where they intended to work… Seems a bit disingenuous.
From what I’ve seen that did not book ask the hotels because they wanted to travel spontaneously in the country like they did in the other countries they visited.
It’s the customs that assumed that they didn’t book hotel because they were intending to work.
Interesting choice of words there with “justified”. Not “legal” or “expected” but “justified”. Meanwhile, every American ever thinks they can move wherever the fuck they want but let’s pretend that other people thinking that is somehow “unjustified”.
Question unclear. Are you asking if I’m painting all Americans with the same brush? Or are you asking whether my rejection of “justified” is representative of the morals of all Americans?
Here is an article that mentions it but I couldn’t find a specific source. It was also mentioned in the first article I saw posted on Lemmy regarding this.

And that’s nothing new. I had friends denied entry for something similar about 20 years ago

You speak for all Americans?

Sorry, can you point to the source that they said they intended to work?
