Are We Welcome Entrepreneurs or Unwanted Criminals?
I understand your frustration and there is no excuse to be dehumanized, and treated like cattle during your proceeding. After saying that...a visa oops, snafu, miscommunication, is still your responsibility. A great quote is 'Ignorantia juris non excusat' which translates out to 'ignorance of the law excuses no one'. Upon hearing stories like this, I can't help but wonder, if you had your visa taken care of before you tried to re-enter the country, would this situation have happened? Were you singled out for your race, sex, behavior, or were you singled out because you were not legally allowed to be there? I know that may come off cruel, and like I said, no one should have to endure how we treat detainees, however this issue seems to resolve around your mistake.
