Hello friends! 

So, here is big new. I tried to go to the US for 1 day to get a vaccine, but instead of that the police in the airport interrogated me for 7 hours, left me there over night and then I was sent back to Mexico. Why? because a year ago I was looking for absolutely legal job that can sponsor my working visa while being in the US. nice right ? 

here are some of my thoughts on all this. Idk if I will ever post it more publicly that this, but ...who knows. You are the first ones to know! 

THEY DON’T LISTEN

Were you ever in a situation, when someone asks you questions, you tell them everything you know, and then they say you are lying and ask you the same exact question again and again? Seems like they don’t listen to what you say. Sounds pretty torturous doesn’t it?

Well, it is. Luckily, I have never had this situation up until this Thursday, when I got interrogated for 7 hours by the immigration police in the US, on the way to get a COVID vaccine. Spoiler: no vaccine for me.

Not gonna say a lot, but here is what I got from this situation:

Doesn’t matter if I say the truth or not, no-one listens anyway.

Speaking 4 languages is suspicious.

Everything is about the money. Everyone def is coming to the US to work. Illegally, of course.

Not knowing the name of your insurance company is almost a crime!

Looking for a company that would sponsor your visa while in the US is also almost a crime!

What I saw in the movies bad cop good cop IS a thing. But unfortunately I got 2 bad ones. Almost a comic situation, cause the mix was like in the movies. Big white(pink) dude and a short, remarkably well fed one.

Also, they say they can not make you say anything, but I can Elaborate and you’ll see that it is EXACTLY what they are trying to do.

They say they help you answer by asking. Well, if asking the same exact question 5 times in a row, with only “are you sure” added to it … is helping, then I’m the next world champion in competitive eating.

People have LAME lives. One guy told me that he would remember EVERYTHING if he travelled to make art. Sometimes I literally have 30 collabs in 30 days… remember? Really?

One cop said “WHO CARES ABOUT THE VACCINE” direct quote here (make your own conclusions).

There are ones that are actually trying to help, they just somehow don’t get to say much.

You go to an actual Jail if your flight back doesn’t come right away.

You cut all the lines coming back and get marvellous companions to walk you to the plane… Mine were actually friendly and nice.

I'm so sorry to know what happened. I went through an almost identical situation in England a few years ago when I traveled there for tourism, everything was legal but they decided to interrogate me for 7 or 8 hours like a criminal and send me back the morning after for no reason after spending the night in a detention cell, so I understand the frustration. But you are very welcomed and appreciated in Mexico, hope you get your vaccination here (I know vaccination here in MX is slow but only the US can vaccinate millions a day). I'll keep supporting your art!!

Thanks for this nice words! I never thought that these things actually happen, but after it happened to me people I know told me that similar happened to them in some countries too!! Very happy to be in Mexico yeah! I will probably get a vaccine in Russia, will be there in July...
