Legendary British R&B singer is in ICE Lockup - Jane Eugene

32. "When you know" assumes she knew. Did she? How do you know she did/didn't? Did you know that in 2022, there were

706,952 suspected in-country overstays in the U.S., representing a rate of 3.04% of expected departures?
That in 2023 in country overstays totaled 510,400 people?
Business and Tourist Visas: Roughly 400,000 individuals with short-term (tourism) visas issued in FY2023 remained beyond their allowed stay.

And that the average overstay in the last couple of years has been in the several hundred thousands?

You didn't know? Me, neither.

But even if we didn't know the numbers, most of us Americans who pay attention have known for at least a decade (this issue has been on FB since I first got on it in 2007) that the majority of "illegals" were really people who'd have flown into the U.S. and overstayed their visas. Driving, I myself have shown a passport at the Canadian border at least eight times (in four trips) and entering/exiting, told them I was traveling on vacation.

She knew that the stakes were higher and tried to actually leave, she didn't know Canadian law, and she should have gone to the nearest British consulate or embassy. But she was careless, stupid, and finally getting a clue about her situation, so "maybe crazy" ... or she was busy working, not unusual for an entertainer.

Bottom line, are you saying you're OK with Homeland's treatment of her? that her being in the wrong means ICE can criminalize her and then do what they want with her? Because if you mean to say she deserves what she gets, then that's exactly what you're saying.
