He was denied entry for admitted drug use and a picture of a pipe on his phone, which was legally searched with his permission. The Vance meme is a red herring.
Elon immigrated illegally, he violated his student Visa by starting a business. If we're being serious here he should be deported.
Yes, it's pretty silly to be denied entry for a picture of paraphernalia but it is federally illegal, and at the end of the day a country can decide who to let in.
Wait, a simple picture of a pipe is illegal to have? I don't believe that, that's actually insane. So for example, one could land in an airport, legally google a picture of a pipe, legally screenshot it so it's saved onto their phone, and now it's federally illegal?
Possession of paraphernalia is a crime. Having a picture of paraphernalia on your phone surely isn't a crime, is it?
