    Yeah no thanks. Im of Latino, indigenous heritage. The moment i cross, they’ll look in my phone, see the anti trump posts, look at my tattoos and it’s off to a Central American gulag for me, and I’m not even joking

      My partner is American (we’re working on that), so I need to cross to visit them. I’m the most “works and office job and doesn’t do much else” looking person you can imagine. I’ve been asked when the last time I was arrested was, how much drugs do I really have in the car when I said none the first time they asked, had them check my trunk and back seats because I handed them my passport funny, and almost been denied entry because I had a dress suit in my back seat.

      I would never risk crossing if I wasn’t a white male at this point.
