When I entered the US to spend a year there as a foreign exchange student, the border official treated me like I'm a violent criminal and he had to find out which crime I'll commit.
I also had to fill out a form promising I wasn't a member of the German Nazi party during WW2.
This was in 2000 and I was 16 at the time.
Well don't leave us hanging. Did you support the nazi party during WW2?
Looks like he's too embarrassed by his support of the nazi party during WWII to reply.
Case closed gentlemen, good work
Now let's go get us a scalp.
Try asking in german
I'm American, when I first entered Canada the border guard was stunningly handsome and super nice.
On the way back the American dude was an absolute dick, and I'm a citizen so I can only imagine what a foreigner may face.
Rule #1: be attractive and Canadian
I've had that same experience a dozen times. I don't remember if they were all 'stunningly handsome', but they were all very friendly and professional.
I had the same experience on a trip to Europe. All of the European customs officials were happy, kind, and welcoming, all while still doing their job. When I came back to the states, the customs official was dressed in all black, sidearm clearly visible, and he was mean-mugging and being condescending the entire time. When he asked if I had bought anything while I was overseas, I said yes, and he just stared at me. For 10 to 15 seconds at least. I wasn't sure if he was waiting for me to say something, produce receipts, stop resisting? Eventually he huffed loudly and angrily asked if I had spent more than $10k; no, I did not.
He stamped the things he needed stamp hard enough to shake his little kiosk and gruffly growled for me to move on. If a citizen gets treated like that, I don't want to know what a non-citizen has to go through.
Yeah he asked if I brought anything. I said "yeah some souven-" "NO DID YOU BRING ANY DRUGS OR WEAPONS!"
This kind of border agent is why I won't be travelling to the US anytime soon. If this person was that bad in 2000, imagine what they're like with the power to send you to a concentration camp if you look at them the wrong way.
US border agents aren't discriminating when it comes to being dicks though. Citizens get treated like shit too.
Little did you know, if you said yes, they would have given you a job in the government.
