This may be the case if it gets to court. It is definitely not what will happen under normal administrative process.

Correct. Fiscal is definitely a tourist. The rest is simply the basis for allowing him to enter as a tourist, since most tourists are at present not allowed to enter the country. He can most likely begin the process of obtaining permanent residency in the country on the basis of having a...

Any agent you know will do this for a very reasonable fee, an order of magnitude less than any actual transportation will cost you actually, $20 is pretty damn cheap. Just make sure that a return ticket on any date suffices, with Argentina the maximum permitted stay for tourists is 90 days so...

Is this to prove you’ll be leaving? Confirmed reservations often work for that - ticket not required.

As far as Canada is concerned, there are a whole bunch of rules that are needed in order to board a flight to Canada. And the airlines generally enforce these. But once you’ve made it onto Canadian soil? As a Canadian citizen? You’re in, full stop. As @dilmah said, you might be in trouble with...

You are correct, it is certainly an opinion (even if a widely shared one). I myself qualified it in the same paragraph as an “argument”. The confusion (the fault of which is entirely mine) is the conflation of 2 issues: fact vs. opinion, and “my side” vs. “I’m not on any side, this seems...

Almost completely agree, with a couple of caveats. Skepticism is great. The problem is that there is a fine line between skepticism and cynicism where you assume that everything is a porquería. The net result is that the shittiest player “wins”, and there is no incentive to try to adhere to the...

I agree. To be clear, that’s not what I’m saying. I am looking at this much more dispassionately than you imagine. There is lots about the MSM that I despise. That’s why I mentioned the example with the WaPo to start with. My subsequent comments were about reading more into this than we should...

Sure. But the MSM did a fine job of conveying those concerns. Not sure what is your larger point. Even propaganda outlets sometimes get the story right. Does that mean that we should not bear in mind that they are propaganda outlets? Or do you dispute that RT is accurately described as such?

I don’t think my surprise or lack thereof is the point. I am comfortable saying that I give very few people, and even less organizations, an inherent benefit of the doubt. That being said, this kind of bad judgment is not something that happens often at WaPo. As I said, it makes headline news...

To be very clear: This idiotic f-up notwithstanding, as a general rule the US MSM on its worst day, is more credible - than NYP, and the better parts of Fox on most days, and the rest of Fox, OAN, RT and all the rest on their best days. In fact, this is actually illustrated by this goofy...

Move your phone number to Simple Mobile. Free roaming across almost all of Latin America.

Further to our ongoing discussion of media credibility: It isn’t just right wing publications. The Washington Post Memory-Holed Kamala Harris' Bad Joke About Inmates Begging for Food and Water There is good and bad news in this. The bad news is that one of the most mainstream publications...

To be honest, the National Review means nothing today, at all. They were the archetypal Never Trumpers, until he won and the lot of them rolled over and became Maybe Trumpers. From there the progression was clear, to anti-anti-Trumpers to full-on Trumpalos. And on January 20th, surprise! -...

Here’s an example of what is more than enough to take an outlet off any list of trusted media: Along with the wave of bullshit about the elections being stolen, were some pretty specific accusations. They included lots of stuff about voting machines run by a companies called Smartmatic and...

If you want a real-world example, I’d suggest you pick a starting point where the facts are no longer really in dispute, and go from there. I can offer you an example if you like. I refer to the aforelinked piece about the outrageous use of force in clearing out protesters so a president could...

It’s not hard. I would suggest you choose your media the way you choose your groceries. Say, fruits and vegetables. You learn over time to trust some vendors. You learn with experience - sometimes the hard way - that some stores tend to sell fruits past their due date. While you might not...

Here is the thing. These people have cracked the code in a way. One of Steve Bannon’s key insights, was that too much is the same as too little. From the horse’s mouth: Bannon seems to view the Democrats less as the opposition party than figures of fun. “The Democrats don’t matter,” he had...

This is just so great. QAnon Woke Up the Real Deep State An open letter to QAnon, “stop the steal,” and other communities involved in the Capitol attack. The Deep State is real, but it’s not what you think. The Deep State you worry about is mostly made up; a fiction, a lie, a product of...

I did, thanks for the link btw. What I saw (and for the record, no background to analyze this beyond my own eyes) does not support what you are saying at all. The officer was covering the door with his gun. You see a rapid movement that is an evident response to something the officer saw. He is...
