The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Again, none of that is true.

Except for the fact that's what's happening.

If you got caught by CBP being a "citizen from anywhere" with nothing but a few "magic asylum words," you'd almost certainly fail your credible fear interview and be deported/detained immediately.

Sigh. You think that people aren't being coached there?

uscis.gov - Questions and answers credible fear screening

. Why Will Asylum Officers Conduct Credible Fear Interviews?
A. Asylum officers conduct interviews when you are subject to expedited removal and you tell U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or ICE:

You intend to apply for asylum
You fear persecution or torture; or
You fear returning to your country.


How hard is it to game this? They practically give you the answer key right there on the website.
