Reply #67: Do you think foreign journalists enter the US saying they're tourists? [View All]

So it appears that you think that anyone can enter the US saying that they are here on pleasure trips as tourists. Or anywhere else one travels to.

I guess that you haven't traveled anywhere. Your ignorance regarding travel procedures to foreign countries is astonishing (considering the absolutisms in your post).

When a foreigner enters the US they are asked 'are you here on business or pleasure'. The entry permit & duration is based on the answer and documentation. Someone working for a foreign entity entering a different country is known as an 'agent' of the company they are working for.

That includes foreign journalists entering the US.

If they claim to be here as tourists on a pleasure trip but they are really working on assignment (on a business trip) they are in violation of the law.

Cuba doesn't routinely deny all reporters entry visas, but it does deny some from the US (like the vociferously anti Cuba papers like El Herald/Miami Herald - who need to apply in advance to work in Cuba). It is their right to do so. Just as it is the right of the US to deny entry to foreign journalists it chooses to.

The rest of your extremist reactionary post about US domestic reporters reporting on domestic events appears to be just babble. (Wow.. talk about pretzel logic) :crazy:
