Australian children's author Mem Fox detained by US border control: 'I sobbed..'

What possible reason could they come up with to do this? Do we have the same problem in Border Control that we do in our Police, bullies just bullying because they can?

Its only a matter of time before this craziness begins to have negative effects on economy of the united states.

Is that really all the fault of Trump? Not being from the US, my impression was that traveling to the US has been an ordeal for quite a while now (maybe since 9&#x2F;11)? There were also famous cases of people dying, wasn&#x27;t there a taser incident and one (mentally disabled?) person being choked to death? There was even a Tom Hanks movie about a guy stuck at an airport indefinitely. All before Trump.
