I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers.
I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
A US state department official says US visa holders will face "continuous vetting".
This is not the right of the Executive branch to make changes to the current laws. He is required to uphold the law. This is a coup and not normal. We still abide by the Constitution & the rule of law!
If Rubio's policies were in effect when his parents mingrated from Cuba (during Batista, they did not flee Castro as Lil Marco claimed), he would be singing a very different song. What a piece of mierda de cucaracha.
What must it be like to have no ethical center at all -- just say and do whatever you think will advance your career another step?
I suggest they start with Melania's "Genius" Visa!
🤬
America is a land of opportunities for criminals. Criminal qualification is defined by the convicted felon. America is slowly becoming old Germany of Nazi era. Most people will avoid this country because it is doomed .
Have a talk with kids. Tell them it’s okay to defy MAGA or Republican adults. Explain that they should not trust or be alone with them. They do NOT have to listen to or obey them. Advise them to stay away. They have sanctioned pedophilia and will not protect them from adult sexual predators.
Great.
Start with Milania!
😔
Unfortunately, it sure looks like that's where the country is headed, thanks to the anti-Christ and all his fallen angels in the White House.
I can't wait for the next administration to gather all these fascists in a Neuremberg style trial and publicly execute them when found guilty of Treason!
Naturalized citizens are next….
55million visa…should take ages… but somehow I’m sure that they will start to cancel visa already next week for the non-white and muslim.
Yeah, that sounds scary. 🇨🇦
Starting with Melania?
A Roaring Anus he is!
😡...the good old "used to be"...yep, there was a time when you could go anywhere tin the US without needing any papers...and your Social Security number was never to be used for identification...
This is so Anti-American. Trump will pick who gets ousted.
😡😡😡
Nazi Gestapo
Foxtrot Delta Tango, and you too, lil marco!!!
Eastern Europe has mostly become part of the EU, so those idiots don't roam the trains anymore.
Maybe we deported them to the USA?
I once respected Rubio....
but the TRUMP virus has infected his soul
“Show me your papers” was a staple 80s Cold War espionage film trope. Like this is what will happen to YOU if the Soviets win the Cold War.
They have sold their soul to the devil.
Ask the man doing nothing other than eating in public, stopped by the Gestapo who demanded his papers then beat him and "arrested" him when he rightfully refused. We are NOT a free country anymore!
Yes. Beware the future.
Wont be long before Marco and the other Toadies start wearing military uniforms
A cowardly man, Rubio has sold out. If he thinks he will ever be able to run for any office again he's wrong.
Is that big balls new job?
If they kick 100k out of the country, does that mean we’ll have to hire uneducated, entitled, abrasive, MAGA rednecks to design nuclear plants?
surely every time these orcs come out with a new revision of kak, people in the hospitality industry must groan.
yeah everyone's really gonna want to come here now, marco, you goblin, you!
Perhaps Rubio & Dump's family members should be investigated for illegal entry into America! ...Just sayin'!
Standard in Europe when inter railing, before freedom of movement
They took your passport until the next morning
Make America Gawd Awful
Send Marco$s family back to Cuba. He must be so proud.
Rubio can deport this 🖕🏼
One night, crossing through Yugoslavia via train, after removing my contact lenses, I was pulled off the train. No shoes, no glasses, no contacts, and within a brightly lit space guards yelled at me in Serbian, I just didn't respond. They eventually gave me my passport back and I found my train.
Same. First encountered coming into Yugoslavia in the 80s.
Trump needs to wipe his own ass before he worries about us.
Frankly, I don’t think this administration is capable of reviewing 55 million visa holders. That is a LOT of work and they’ve already proven to be incredibly incompetent and inefficient.
American Tax payer funded domestic terrorism. Donnie and his Ghoulliannis are pathologically sociopathic. Your oppression is their profession.
And who, pray tell, will be repeatedly vetting these millions of visa holders. Half the worker bee federal employees were fired.
One is reminded:
Prepare for this everyone!
Welcome to that country!
Start with Melania
Will this include Melanie T. Visa
One thing is for sure, Little M will be remembered as an American hero for his work during this time of Trump turmoil. Inspiring!
Just where exactly is this Marco Rubio from? Can't we have an American as our Secretary of State?!
Quaint? (Yipe.) I’d call it fascist.
I remember that and someone was frogmarched off the train with them.
He’s tanking US economy from tourism and foreign students. If that’s not enough, it’s also discouraging innovations from brain drain.
Does that include Europeans.....Russians, etc.?
I was an exchange student in 72 to Finland and had the opportunity to visit Moscow. I came home being thankful for the US and now see we have gotten more like them and they never got more like us.
Start with the "royal" first family!
I read and studied about this in School history class, and remember thinking, I'm so happy we live in a free country and people. Well, here we are. Watching them tear up their businesses, states. Our way of life Seems so surreal, sickening, gut and soul-wrenching.
Man, if only they had told us before about the is plan or project they had for 2025.
Remember, Lil' Marco thinks he's going to be JD Vance's Vice-President.
Fidel Castro would be proud of Marco Rubio
So, you jinxed us?
Fascism and tourism don’t mix.
I remember being in Puerto Vallerta and waking up Easter morning to AR15 wielding police on the street corners (tourist season). Chilled me then, chills me now.
What tha F. What is there problem.
How is it that they can review 55 million visas but couldn’t take J6 criminals on a case by case basis? 🙄😑
A land of liberty—where freedom rings, right after masked men in tactical gear yell “Papers, please!”—no longer a line from a Bogart flick, but the chorus of ICE-funded street theater. Not Casablanca, not Berlin, but Main St.USA. The Stasi showed their faces. In Trump’s America, tyranny wears a mask
What does this mean, "visa holders"? There are many different kinds of visas, not all of them temporary.
The people WITH the Visas aren’t a problem, it’s the ones “investigating” them that are
Where would Little Marco be if the then-current administration had decided his immigrant parents weren't worthy of American visas? Bad in Cuba, working for a Castro.
Since Rubio, a birthright citizen against Trump’s policy, is reviewing US Visas, maybe he should start with how Melania violated her US Visa then lied about it to gain citizenship illegally.
www.monitoringinfluence.org/org/rockbrid...
Rubio is part of this!!!! EXPOSE THIS…,
Founded in 2019 by a Republican political operative, the Rockbridge Network seeks to disrupt the status quo of GOP politicking by funneling millions of dollars into right-wing causes and campaigns.
Quaint, huh? I think we're discovering that "show me your papers" isn't just a phrase, it's a slippery slope.
So I guess anything we saved hunting fraud and abuse are now being used for this nonsense ?
People need to self-deport and apply the legal way as well.
I hate any lawbreaker as much as you do.
America is horrible
I remember such a train ride, also. Yet here we are, getting pulled over for a Mexico sticker on your vehicle.
Let’s start w Lil Marco. Is he here legitimately or can we send him back somewhere?
Sickening. I for one never ever thought that there was a chance in hell of the good ole’ US of A becoming Nazi Germany! All because of the imbalance of power. All because of the ability to scare people silly. All because of the so-called religious right turning damn right wicked!
In epaulets and with sidearms.
Eye roll! Unredacted pedophile files. Trump is a pedophile.
Have we ever seen Rubio's birth certificate?
What percentage of the visa holders that will be deported are black and brown?
Pappieren bitte !
WHAT A 'LIMP DICK' BUNCH of PURE
'NAZI MAGA goon 'girlie men' "trumpers' WITHOUT any COJONES !!!!!!!!!!!! 🤭
VOTE BLUE 💙............. ONLY BLUE 💙
Start with Melania. There’s also about 175k Russians there too.
I was on a Russian train from Helsinki to (then) Leningrad and once we crossed the border into Russia an attendant pulled down all the curtains and warned us not to peek. Cloak and dagger lives on!
Nope, now it is show me your device and let me vet your entire internet history and all social media accounts for wrong speak...
How about let us review Epstein files while little Marco is busy doing that?
So as my daughter reminds me that I am not the Democracy saving fairy, I have resorted to a song. I don't think I have time or inspiration for a dedicated Labor Day protest song. This is "Yellow Texas". Lyrics are mine, AI music/voice. Protest on Labor Day. youtu.be/O6EzqLPbMt8?...
And look at us now. When can the next wave happen? Or when can the rest of us be included so we know what is going on.
The crueler and nastier Marco gets, the more the $Conman likes him.
Lil’ Marco is loving the $Conman-in-Chief treating him like a big boy now.
Hearing stories of Americans who say they are not at all afraid of Crossing a border while leaving Canada. Adamant that they know their rights. As a Canadian, I ask when in the holy hell are they going to get it?
Really, there’s a way in which Marco Rubio is even more odious than Steven Miller. He’s like a sleeper agent who just dropped his cover of having any moral compass.
Start with all of Vance’s in-laws
As I find myself saying, over and over and over again:
DO NOT TRAVEL TO OR THROUGH THE UNITED STATES FOR ANY REASON
It looks like I can get a speeding ticket but a visa holder can not.
If you're brown you drown in trump's Gestapo Amerikkka
Poor, poor America, their Democracy has evaporated and they don’t seem to realise it yet.
Bus in remote Patagonia, Argentina. Remote checkpoints for papers. This was 2007. I guess vestiges of the Junta days.
It's incredible, is'nt it. I know what you mean. I spent several hours in East Berlin in '88 before the wall came down and it was quite the experience. Now here we are, on the same road to political suicide.
Check Rubio first.
Aren't Republicans supposed to be the party of less government?
I also remember being told to bribe those men. And now I can’t even remember why I would have had to do that. I guess the idea is if they treat you like a criminal then you are a criminal. Sounds like this GOP govt- no real law anymore - just bunch a fake law enforcement making up fake crimes.
It’s absolutely ironic and peculiar that this used to be the party of small government. It’s not really a party any longer tho. It’s a policing force.
There is that.
Rubio thinks he will be next VP. Vance thinks he will be next president. Trump thinks MAGA Supreme Court will give him a 3rd term.
We think these MF’s are delusional but if America don’t WAKE THE FUCK UP, Democracy is gone.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Maybe the us could review the actions of the politicians, aipac, raga, etc instead of harassing us people that are being targeted?
You sure they weren't the conductors checking tickets?
They are too weak to do anything to help people so they do this instead.
East Germany in 1985 was more civil than what ICE is doing today.
Damn. We have slid down the slippery slope indeed.
This could be a massive hit in the tech field if they target H-1B visas
The other countries in this world enforce their visas, why not the United States? I have a friend who overstayed her visa in South Africa … she can’t go there anymore.
I remember when Isreal bombed West Bank, West Bank retaliates, then Isreal retaliates for the retaliation, and on and on and on.
I said I'm glad we don't get involved or we would get caught up in the never ending war!
AND HERE WE ARE, caught up in it!!! STUPID.
Even the white visas?
These guys will sit inside a closet and believe that they are the world.
on a train in 1990, returning to berlin, where i was visiting, from prague, the czech border guards terrified me; when i got to the german border, we were met by 2 politzie, to whom i said, i never dreamed i'd ever be so happy to see the police. "welcome home" they replied, with a big smile.
Pretty telling considering he’s an anchor baby….
We’re already occupied.
Should have thought of that before you voted for the POS Biden and he let 20 million illegals into the country. Are you actually this clueless.
Similar happened to me walking through an underground passage in a major city. It was only when I spoke English that they stopped harassing me. One of the most frightening moments of my life. Don’t plan on travelling to 🇺🇸 to experience this again.
And yet we repeat history again. Once it was the Jews and gypsies and homosexuals. Now it is anyone who isn't white? Seriously? Vote them the hell out. Take back the house and senate. Vote for sanity and dignity.
It was '79 in Germany, and it had been a delightful trip through France and Belgium, but upon arriving at the train station, there were men in Khaki uniforms with big guns and all of a sudden on that platform, I felt like a prisoner offloading to a camp.
That’s what happened to black people in South Africa regularly. They also had a curfew.
I was sure scared when as a 20 year old on a tour bus entering dictator Franco's Spain in 1975, men holding machine guns boarded the bus at the border. That didn't happen in any of the other 7 European countries we entered. Fifty years later my country is turning into a dictatorship. Mindboggling.
We were at dinner in Mexico, when a group of armed, masked men arrived at our outdoor patio. Terrified, we asked the hostess to ask what was wrong. They spoke in Spanish, the men apologized and left. They thought they were being helpful to protect, instead, we were horrified.
wain for the brain drain to kick in
Sieg heil #trump
Can we start with lil Marco Birthright?
Trump is such a stupid man. He is destroying your country from the inside, making you toxic to trade with. Your arms export industries are going away too because we don't trust you any more. Sorry, I used to love the US, then you elected Russian asset Trump.
It never was about legality.
Rubio never explained why he imported triple murderer Dahud Ortiz?
Let there be hell on earth for the fascists!
It is being planned in the Uk, by Sir Keir Starmer. Like their new assisted dying laws, and extreme free abortion law, they sneaked them in and were not discussed or debated before the election. It appears we do not have real democracy now.
International visitors are not safe in the United States of America.
No one is safe in Trump’s America.
Non Sequitur
The enforcement of this policy will be time and monetarily ridiculous. Can our tax dollars not be used to fix the broken system of entry to the country so that people can actually work and the economy can grow instead of being shanghaied for political flim-flam?
Little Marco shrinks more every day
It is frightening. Not only did we forget; we learned nothing of our past.
Visa violations? Elon? Melania? How about all of the employees at Trump properties??????
Once they're done with documented and undocumented folks, are the rest of us even safe? Once they're done fucking over the "undesirables," what next?
so the trucking industry is short drivers, the tariffs have reduced imports- directly impacting trucking. So lets go after immigrants/ real or not- to solve a non-existent problem. Defelection so as not to show the regime's tariffs are a negative on US economy. stupidity beyond stupid
A reminder the majority of the detainees at Alligator Alcatraz (aka the Everglades Concentration Camp) are Cuban immigrants like Marco Rubio's parents and family.
The parents of anchor baby Marco weren't US citizens when he was born.
What about Mastercard and Amex?
🤣 I spent a week in communist bulgaria in the 70s. Tbh it was hilarious. The airport was full of cliched spies... sunglasses (it was winter) and long leather coats. Same at the hotel checking booking registrations. Its paranoia. Communism is the same as fascism. You are living in this scenario.
This is called trying to select your voters. I wonder how Rubio, whose parents came from the authoritarian government of Cuba, can allow this to happen?
Review 55M Visas? Good luck with that. I've waited near 2 years for the IRS to process a tax return, saying they've lost docs 2x.
Once they run out of immigrants, they're coming after the rest of us.
Renew, update, get passport. Never know when you might need to request asylum

more waste fraud and abuse
Indeed🤯
🤬😡🤮💩
An incredibly sad commentary.....
Would you be asked for papers travelling to another country by train? Eg. Canada or Mexico. Europe is not one country although as EU members inter country travel has become seemless. Many hoops to jump through if we want to travel to the US. For now I’d rather not.
It worked so well for Hitler. Might as well have it here to go with the concentration camps that are springing up everywhere. Will we see a Hitler, sorry I meant to say Trump youth Corp. We already have a gestapo and secret police.
It’s hard to scam people for their own good when they come armed with knowledge. Fortunately, that’s seldom a problem in America. ‘Mrs. Betty Bowers’ - America’s best Christian December 2020
So rich from the son of immigrants.
I am appalled at what an unfriendly country this administration is making us. We will be poorer monetarily and intellectually because of this. Rubio is becoming a smaller man with ever day he is in office. THis administration is so full of hate. Vote democratic in the midterms to save our country.
Ah, yes, the Joachim von Ribbentrop remake.
Yes dear Mrs Betty, you do live in a "Show me your papers" country. And it headed by a convicted felon, rapist, pedophile.
You never saw that coming. LOL
That headline on the article should have focussed on “continuous” vetting, which means even if you come in clean, you could be detained after arrival and sent to shovel horseshit in Louisiana (to quote Patton).
It’s pretty simple. Everybody needs to stop going to the US.
The only thing that gets me through this is imagining the miserable future Rubio will have.
Nazi shit aside... deporting millions of people will tank the economy.
Start with Melania’s…
AMERICANS need to
STOP
LAWLESS FELONS REGIME THUGS
from BREAKING our LAWS
so they can HARASS, ARREST & IMPRISON
ALL the LAW ABIDING PEOPLE in AMERICA!
THATS completely UNACCEPTABLE!
You also have armed army & fake undercover idiots on your street corners now! Facism is full on now in the U.S. of facism!
And you, Marco Rubio, will be held under a microscope and investigated for all your egregious, corrupt and unconstitutional actions as Secretary of State when we are free from this Authoritarian Regime - along with the rest of the Administration and the Fascist GOP.
We have 55 million visa holders??????
@marcorubio.bsky.social cementing his legacy
Good grief.
The number alone means that there will be thousands, ten of thousands of people imprisoned in a detention center - based on pretty much nothing.
Same. Hungary in mid 70s. Soldiers terrorising us at a border checkpoint, in the middle of the night. Pulled our car to pieces. Guns drawn. Children sleeping in the car. I still remember the fear!! Glad I was an Aussie!! Safe isolated island continent.
German police does this with trams now: www.fr.de/rhein-main/d...
In Darmstadt werden Busse und Straßenbahnen jetzt stichprobenartig auf Waffen durchsucht. Dafür müssen dann sämtliche Fahrgäste aussteigen. Augenzeugen berichten.

Same, but Venezuela.
Start with Melania
I had the same thing in Turkey.
But they don’t care about the fraud within the IRS.
Out of 55 million, they’ll catch 165.
WOW
📌
Thanks to Trump we’ve become the America the vast majority of us don't want to be.
Thanks to people all over our country fighting every single day, I know we will take back our country.
