Summary
Germany updated its travel advice for the US after three German nationals were detained despite holding valid visas or entry waivers.
The Foreign Office clarified that holding a US visa or ESTA approval does not guarantee entry, as border authorities have the final say.
Recent detentions include a green card holder held at Boston airport and two others detained at the US-Mexico border.
Germany investigates whether these cases reflect a broader policy shift under Trump’s tighter immigration policies.
Because the US needs them. They need the cheap labour, they need immigrants, and keeping them “illegal” makes it easy to abuse them. If they deported all of them, or let them become citizens, the economy of Texas would probably collapse as there wouldn’t be a constant stream of people who can’t take advantage of even the weak labour laws of the US.
