This happened earlier this year - I posted it at the time.Australian guy, close friend, with American born wife, two teenage kids, returns with family to America for the >100th time.
At LAX the border control guy takes him into a separate room.
Sir, what you say now will determine whether you will be detailed pending deportation or allowed to enter the US. Is that clear?
Yes.
What is the purpose of your trip?
Holiday.
Do you have accommodation booked?
Yes.
Where is it?
The Sheraton in Beverley Hills.
Do you have proof of that?
Yes, here is the invoice. (Two king executive suites for 16 nights).
How do you intend to pay while you are here?
Mostly credit card, plus cash.
How much cash do you have?
$9,800
Don鈥檛 lie to me.
I have, I think, exactly $9,800.
Give it to me. (Agent takes cash, counts it - $9,800, returns it.)
What credit cards do you have?
Amex and visa - we use Amex almost exclusively.
What is the credit limit?
There isn鈥檛 a limit.
Sir, don鈥檛 lie to me! There is always a limit! What is the limit?
There is no limit on the Amex - I haven鈥檛 had a limit for thirty years.
Sir! Don鈥檛 lie to me! Credit cards are never without a limit! That鈥檚 how they get their names!
This one has no limit.
(Agent now very cross.)
Give me your phone.
(Hands it over - burner.)
Open it.
It鈥檚 open.
Show me what calls and texts you鈥檝e made.
There is none - it鈥檚 a new phone.
Sir, stop lying to me! (Agent getting significantly distressed.)
Where is your phone?
This is my phone.
WHERE IS YOUR PHONE!!! (Officer now shouting.)
This is the only phone I have with me. My company issues clean phones and computers when we travel to the US.
Sir, I am telling you again - your answers are what will get you detained and deported! Where is your real phone?
In Australia.
Why don鈥檛 you have it with you?
My company doesn鈥檛 permit us to bring our personal phones into the US.
Open your computer.
(Opens it.)
Show me your emails.
It鈥檚 a new computer - it has no emails. It鈥檚 never been turned on except for when it was built and me logging on once.
(Border control officer goes out of room, returns ~two hours hour later with another officer.)
How are you getting to your hotel?
Sheraton has a driver waiting. I hope they still have anyway. Here is the notice on the invoice.
DON鈥橳 LIE TO ME! Hotels don鈥檛 have drivers just waiting!They eventually got into America. The Sheraton driver was still waiting.
Context: He鈥檚 white.
He鈥檚 employed by a large American company as Senior Vice President; had been with the company for 30 years. He鈥檚 in the top 0.1%
He鈥檚 been married to his American wife for 23 years who is an American citizen. They have two teenagers.
His credit card has no limit. He had a new phone and computer because of company policy.
He鈥檚 been a Senior VP for at least fifteen years, has hit the ceiling because he doesn鈥檛 want to work in America. He鈥檚 traveled for business and pleasure to America more than a hundred times.
I鈥檝e known him for ~35 years.
