    In the current political climate, border control is unfortunate becoming much more common. I had the border policy empty our bus and search everyone with dogs and half of us had to open our bags.

      On my vacation in Germany we were not once asked on the train for our passports. We are white. The police would demand every non-white persons’ “visa” and most of the time the questioned individual would produce a German ID or an ID from another EU member state.

      It was a sad sight.
