Personally, I expected something like this to happen now that Trump is our president. More people are finding it okay to be unfair and overall wrong. Not only was he not let in because of his opinion, but he was the only one of his friends to be denied access as if he was being picked on. You can't make a decision, especially one as important as coming into a country, based on whether or not that person agrees with you. I hope that somehow, Joseph Decunha can be repaid in some way. I hope that behavior of officials does not continue in this way just because they feel as if they can. Hearing things like this just anger me and make me feel scared about our life these next 4 years.

Canadians turned away at US border- Melanie Escalante
Joseph Decunha and his 2 American friends drove from their home in Canada to join the women marching in Washington DC only for Decunha to be denied entry while his friends were allowed entry. Decunha told the border patrol officers that they planned to march and they would be in DC as Trump was inaugurated. At the time of the 2nd inspection, they were asked personal questions about their political preference in which they responded honestly that they were anti-Trump. After Decunha answered the patrol officer's unnecessary questions, he was denied access due to "silent disruption". Upon being photographed and fingerprinted, the patrol officer revealed that if Decunha were pro-Trump, he would be allowed access into the country.

My view on this is that this is very wrong! 3 innocent people were just comeing to the Uninted States for a great cause. To me, it sounds like if they would have never reveals they were anti trump then they just might have got through and would've been able to come into the U.S. I believe justice should be served because it was not right what so ever! https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/01/21/us/canadians-rejected-border-womens-march/index.html?client=safari
