Simple reciprocity.
- x5n1 11y agoAll governments should extend the courtesy that US extends to their citizens to Americans entering their country. Perhaps that will encourage Americans to encourage their government to treat non-Americans better.
- fapjacks 11y agoSo... You're suggesting Americans have some kind of power over the American government or something?
- x5n1 11y agoWell it is suppose to be a representative democracy.

- 13thLetter 11y agoIt's kind of pathological to take a story about Brazil doing something wrong and twist it into yet another indictment of the United States. There are other countries in the world, you know.
- x5n1 11y agoAs someone who has suffered more than once at the border, having never done anything wrong. I think we need to fix the problem with the US government's treatment of non-US citizens at its borders. And not only that, it exports its shit customer service at the border to other country's in the name of security.
- 13thLetter 11y agoI agree with you that American border control is horrible and abusive. That doesn't mean we ("we" = worldwide press) shouldn't call out other countries for having horrible and abusive policies in this area as well, though. Not everything bad that happens is the fault of the United States.
