It seems like a bit of a stretch to frame two teenagers wishing to go island-hopping as part of their post-graduation world trip as “intending to work” 😜
Deportation appears to be about as appropriate here as sending the SWAT team after someone who dropped a candy wrapper.
Still Tax fraud and visa fraud. Works like this in most countries.
Not that I agree with these extreme measures. Most of Europe doesn’t care but still: as ilegal in the US as it would be if an American tourist did the same in Germany.
I don’t know but that’s what the post you were replying to stated and you just ignored it.
I do tend to ignore posts that come without references or explanations, that’s true.
But that’s beside the point I was raising - I’ll rephrase: I find it hard to believe that there is anything two Middle European kids vacationing in Hawaii could ever do to even remotely approach any sane definition of ‘working without a permit’ to warrant immediate deportation. Whether they did or didn’t actually intend to defraud the Federal Government over 20$ in beach bar tip money taxes doesn’t really factor into that argument, does it?
My friends are going there in June. They had booked the trip before Trump was even elected They have little kids and look as Aryan as it gets so they should be fine. But honestly in their place I would still seriously consider cancelling.
Everyone who is going to USA for vacation is an idiot.
So. Fucking. What? This world is retarded and you’re definitely doing your part.
In german media (Rostock newspaper) the girls said that (they planning to work) was put into the documents without their knowledge.

It seems like themselves admitted that they intended to work?
They did not. It was put into the interrogation documents without their knowledge.
Work for their foreign clients with foreign companies. Remote work. While they were backpacking.

Like if I work for Intel and I’m on travel visa, I can’t answer some emails or do a zoom meet with my team for updates or something?
In what capacity?

They’re teenagers. Probably they’re secretly doing a bit of brain surgery on the side to get walking-around money during their backpacking trip.

I don’t think that “looking as Aryan as it gets” will keep cutting it with the US. They are treating their own Citizens like this after all.
Yes, but mostly PoC so far, from what I read.
