i ask myself how do you send some negative “tips” ” (some selected negative things) from Bolivia to the internet without mesure, maybe just have lived a couple of months here and acting like an FBI agent; so creating a bad image from these lands

” I’ll be mean. Do we even know if Evo can read?”

That’s so mean that it made me laugh.

Oh, that was mean!

A friend of mine told me, immigration people are trained to try to trick you, so they can catch you. If you know what I mean.

In other words. They kind of provoke you (slightly) and they wait for your reaction. People who are doing something illegal, tend to become nervous. And, these provocations gradually increase depending on the lightness of your skin.

The last part, I am thinking, is not part of the training, but it happens.

These guys think that they are some sort of amateur psychologists and try to get you to admit something. It’s just something I’ve noticed in the past 2-3 years, sensitivity of all the Homeland Security stuff I guess.

OK. I’ll be mean. Do we even know if Evo can read?

But sorry to hear about your “migra” troublems. I’ve a little trick I use: I size up ther person on the line as I make my way towards him/her. Deepending on their race, I switch up my accent a bit (Latino, urban, or Southern) & say something about how it’s good to be home, while looking tired & pissed off at my flight (even if I’m fresh & had a pleasant flight). I usually get a chuckle and then a few “I hear ya” or whatever, and a quick “Welcome back.”
