7. Do not travel here!

These two were lucky, they could have been sent to some prison in another country where they’d still be rotting or even dead. All of these people and prisons are making money by head count.

And these were people from English speaking ally countries. Imagine what could have happened if they were vacationing here from a Spanish speaking country.

There are people locked up all over the world who will never get out that were taken for visiting the US.
