0:06 Hey, and maybe even because you serious is coming and everyone is going to be traveling abroad, myself included. And if you plan on going to the US or you know someone who's plan on going to the US, then they definitely need to watch this video because what I'm about to share with you, very few news outlets are actually reporting. The United States is actively deporting and barring entry to those who spout anti-American rhetoric. And word on the street is even if you have au and I'm expecting that this summer there's going to be a lot of Taiwan lang even some that I know personally who watch the show who will not be able to enter America this year. No, no, no, no, no, no. Or maybe I'm blowing it completely out of proportion. Either
0:51 way, share it with your friends and let them decide for themselves because a lot of them [Music] Check this. Just three days ago, the US State Department held a press conference and said some very serious How serious do you ask? Well, in order to understand that, you first need to look at the other news that has been reported. And when you connect the dots and create a complete picture, then you understand exactly why the US is doing this. As of April 2025, the US military has refurbished several World War II era bases in the Western Pacific with additional sites under consideration. These bases located in the Mariana Islands, Guam, Hao, and Micronia
1:38 leverage historical infrastructure to support modern operations under the ACE framework. So, these are the key revitalizing plan sites. First, there's Tinian Island, aka the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. It's located 12 mi northeast of Guam. It was a major World War II base and it served as the launch point for B29 bomber missions, including the atomic bomb drops on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since 2022, the US Department of Defense has invested nearly $800 million to restore Tinian Northfields, according to the Guardian, and the war zone reported that more than 20 million square ft of runways, taxiways, and infrastructure have been rehabilitated. Tinian International Airport south of Northfield has also been expanded with
2:25 new aprons, taxiways, and fuel storage facilities. Lieutenant Commander Michelle Tucker, spokesperson for Joint Task Force Micronesia, told the Guardian that the Air Force has restored 1.85 million square meters of degraded pavement to create a quote rejuvenated runway end quote. These upgrades align with AS's focus on dispersed spacing, ensuring operational flexibility in contested environments. So since 2022, America has spent copious amounts of cash to revive World War II era military installations across the Pacific. Do not Well, at this point, it's no longer a question of if a war between America and China will break out. It's just a
3:11 question of when. And I'm sure there are a few of you, most likely bots, mumble in the corner something like and all I have to say is, "Well, you're just in April 2024, the US Army deployed the Typhon missile system, a land-based launcher capable of firing SM6 and Tomahawk land attack missiles for the northern Philippines for joint exercises with Philippine forces. Transported via C17 Glowmaster, the Typhon system developed by Loheed Martin adapts the naval Mark 41 vertical launch system for landbased operations. Assigned to the first multi-dommain task force at Joint Base Lewis McCord in Washington, the system includes four launchers, a command
3:57 center, and logistical vehicles complementing other MTDF assets like Hey, Mars, Hi, Mars, precision strike missiles, and Dark Eagle hypersonic batteries. Dark Eagle hypersonic batteries. If that doesn't make you want to blow some up, I don't know what will. When deployed in the Philippines, Typhon can strike coastal targets in China and threaten regional shipping, enhancing US multi-dommain capabilities. The Typhon system can launch Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range exceeding 1,000 mi, 1,600 km, and SM6 with a range of over 200 m or 320 km. from the Philippines. These missiles can reach southern Chinese cities like Guangsho and military bases on Hainan Island. Now, this was also news from earlier this year. Taiwan's mainstream media
4:43 covered it for like 5 seconds. US offensive missiles have already been deployed next to Taiwan. The US is reopening military bases, and they're also deploying offensive missiles next to China. For America, this war is real and pending. And the target is very clear, the CCP. The State Department is determined to protect Americans right to free speech and to counter the malign influence and actions of the Chinese Communist Party. The bottom line, we are using and will continue to use every tool in our tool chest to make sure that we know who it is who wants to come into this country and if they should be allowed to come in. Every sovereign nation has a right to secure its borders and to make sure they know who is in their nation and if they are safe to be here. So, a few years ago, the US State
5:30 Department held a press conference stating crystal clear that they don't want any members of the CCP entering their country on the visa policy, specifically as it relates to China and the Chinese students. Um, the statement that came out last night was uh wasn't very specific, shall we say, about what affiliations with the Chinese Communist Party and what critical areas of study would be uh applicants for for visas on under those would be, you know, would be subjected to more scrutiny. So I'm wondering if there is an answer to what is the actual ail, you know, Chinese Communist Party affiliation that would make you ineligible for a visa or what is the what is what are examples of the
6:17 critical areas in which we'll will be subject to. So naturally, a lot of people are connecting this press conference to Trump's previous ban on Harvard international student visas, thinking that the State Department only has members of the CCP in their crosshairs. But if you pay close attention, you'll understand that it is way more serious than you think. Uh that there are series of dynamics that can be applied, questions that can be asked, issues looked at, and uh we use every tool that we have to vet and to make sure we know who's coming in. In this particular case, the United States is putting America first by beginning to revoke visas of Chinese students as warranted, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party, as you mentioned, Matt, uh, or studying in critical fields, and enhancing scrutiny of visas for all
7:02 Chinese nationals, including Hong Kong passport holders. I will not be getting into the details not only of what the the details are regarding the scrutiny and the methods regarding the visa it itself uh but also when it comes to critical fields I was rather pleased having seen very often announcements that don't really give any information and there's reasons for that for national security because there's negotiations it's diplomatic uh etc or giving away the nature of how we choose to to do things uh might give up our hand and make certain things less effective anyone connected to the CCP. All under the guise of two very important words, national security. Ever since America was hit back in 2001 by flying transportation objects, whenever the NSA
7:49 starts throwing around the word national security, that's when you know you're in trouble now. Has to recognize certainly is what they've seen over the last few months that America takes their visa seriously. That vetting is not a one-time process. it's continuing uh and that when things if things happen, if you get arrested, if there's some kind of an issue, uh it you're it it's probably going to be seen at some point. Uh but I do think that with this particular dynamic, it's clear uh that there is an interest in making sure that those who are here from China uh on a visa uh understand that we are taking our national security seriously and we are looking uh at their visas and uh if everything's fine, terrific. Uh but uh that will be a vetting that certainly
8:35 continues and is important clearly to the administration. So this means if you hold a Chinese passport, the US government is watching every single thing you do, all under the name of national security. And it wasn't too long ago when another certain group was monitored the exact same way. But to be fair, it is Chinese law that stipulates that every single one of its citizens has a duty and legal responsibility to be a spy. So who exactly can we blame? The Trump administration is focused on protecting our nation and our citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through the visa process specifically. Uh every adjudication, as I noted to you, is a national security decision. And a visa, as a reminder, is not a privilege. Uh it's a privilege. It's not a right. It's not a birthright. It's not something that you're owed. No matter
9:21 where you come from, every prospective traveler to the United States underos inter agency security vetting. And this is important with these conversations cuz it seems like only certain groups are facing vetting with visas. Every single person does. More importantly, from now on, the US will be very strict when issuing visas. But not just for Chinese students. This sentence is the most important keyword from the press conference because the US government is very well aware that there is a ton of communist spies who hold passports from a lot of different countries. And because the threat of war is very real and probably going to happen for Americans searching for communists at the border as well as people related to communists and also monitoring all people holding Chinese passport. Not really.
10:06 Maybe. But it don't stop there yo cuz what you're going to see next the facts go way beyond search seizure and arrest. If you ask me, I think it might be equally me and you. Here's a fun fact you might want to know. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Ukraine is not a democracy. It's a hybrid regime. And when it comes to the United States, they ain't no democracy either. In fact, technically they're a flawed democracy. But when it comes to our good old beautiful country of Taiwan, we are in fact a full-fledged legitimate democracy. And if that didn't completely shock your socks off, well, this
10:53 definitely will. She took my phone. She started going through my messages and questioning me about my messages. This Canadian woman says she missed a flight to Las Vegas after border guards spent hours looking through her cell phone, though it's not clear why. A French scientist heading to a conference in Houston was recently turned away over alleged hateful messages on his phone. If US border guards ask them for access to their personal devices, do they have a choice? US Customs Border Protection CBP has authority to search any devices of anybody traveling across the border, including US citizens and definitely Canadians. Immigration lawyer Cindy Switzer says border guards generally used this power in the past to look for
11:39 evidence of crimes. Yes, Siri. The United States has a system very similar to China's. The US Customs and Border Protection has searches that can for reasons of national security or criminal investigation inspect the contents of your phone at customs. But there are two searches that that CBP has the authority to conduct. One of them is a basic search. And in a basic search, a CBP officer could manually review your phone, looking at your messages, your call logs, your social media photos, and they don't need any special tools to do that, just an unlocked phone. And they also have the authority to do what's called an advanced search. And this is more invasive. And CBP is able to in
12:24 this advanced search copy files, recover deleted information, uh, and use forensic tools to be able to see what you have on your your electronic devices. In order to do that advanced search, however, CBP officers must have a reasonable suspicion that you violated a law, and they also need approval from a supervisor for that type of a search. And these inspections can take hours and CBP can hold on to your device for further review if if they deem it's necessary. Now, you might be wondering, hey, doesn't the US have freedom of speech? How in the hell can they search people's belongings? Well, technically speaking, when you're at customs, you haven't entered a country yet. So, even if you're an American, you are not officially on US soil, which means you are not protected by any article of the
13:10 US Constitution. Millions of people have seen viral videos of American citizens sharing their experiences of being held up at Customs and Border Patrol re-entering the US. Some of them say they were asked to show their social media pages and even banking information. I was like so scared at in those moments. I was like, why is this like happening? Sav says she was held for 2 hours of questioning by CPB as she was coming back from a trip to Spain. She says she was born in the US and is a member of Global Entry. Also, when I opened my phone, that's when I had been asked to go through my socials. And then they wanted to see how much money I was making on a day on TikTok. Customs and Border Patrol can stop anybody. They have the right to search your luggage. They have the right to check your cell phones. Brad Bernstein is a New
13:55 York-based immigration lawyer and has been answering questions about similar incidents for folks online. What rights do Americans not have when they're re-entering the US? The Supreme Court has ruled that the Constitution doesn't apply until you've entered the United States of America. You're not considered to have entered the United States under immigration law until you pass through immigration and customs. And since the orange man took office, CBP searches at US customs have surged astronomically. And due to the whole Israel Palestine issue, where there are some folks who support Hamas and have even been found to have pro- Hamas statements or photos of Hamas leaders on their phones, this has led to them being banned entry into the United States. We want to bring you some developing news in the last hour on a story we mentioned a little bit earlier. A US immigration judge has ruled that the student Mahm Khalil, who
14:42 led pro Palestinian protests at Colombia University in New York last year, can be deported. Mr. Khalil has been in custody since March 8th when he was told by US immigration officers he was being deported for taking part in campus protests against the war in Gaza and the university's investment ties to Israel. Even if you have a United States green card, if your statements do not align with the current US administration's government policy, your ass could be deported and your green card could be permanently revoked. What kind of is that? Huh? Freedom of speech. Well, here's the thing. The First Amendment is turning out to be the biggest weakness for the good old idea of democracy because foreign forces can and have exploited it to completely destabilize democratically elected governments. And when it comes
15:28 to the good old United States of A, they are desperately trying to patch this serious vulnerability. And because there are laws against like the agents not being able to force you to put your passcode in, they can't actually access your phone like that. Now, there's different methods of how they can access your phone. From what I understand, they can also put it on a computer and just like plug it into a machine and the machine just basically takes all of the information on your phone. So, it is what it is. I don't know if you can actually do that if your phone is on, but I was thinking about all these things. I had already unlocked the biometrics. Like I I disallowed biometrics and it's a Faraday cage once you get into the detention center anyway, so you can't actually send any text messages once you're in there. There's no access to the internet. This is Hassan a very well-known
16:14 shaong as left-wing streamer and political commentator. And just 3 weeks ago, when he returned from traveling abroad to the United States where he has citizenship, he was taken into a room at customs and subjected to a CBP allout search and interrogation. I'm sitting there and they're asking me about Trump. They're asking me about like Hamas. And he kept saying stuff like, "Do you like Hamas? Like, do you support Hamas? Do you think Hamas is a resistance group? Do you think Hamas is a terrorist group or a resistance group?" Like, he just kept asking over and over again, right? And I kept repeating the same statement over and over again. I kept saying a couple different things. One, in terms of like Israel and all the wars, I was like, I'm on the side of civilians. I want the endless bloodshed to end. I am
16:59 a pacifist. I want wars to end. I just kept repeating that over and over again. Every single time he asked me a question, I just kept repeating that. And every single time he asked me a question leading a leading question about Hamas, I kept saying the United States State Department recognizes Hamas as a terrorist organization. Now, Hassan has been very publicly critical of Trump, and more and more people are starting to suspect that Trump might be weaponizing the CBP app to target his political opponents. But some recent examples show people being denied entry at the US border because political leanings discovered in their social media or messaging apps do not align with the Trump administration and its policies. The issue is that border officers have full discretion in order to grant somebody admission and they can
17:45 deny somebody admission for any reason. Canadians worried about crossing the border can always bring a different phone with no personal information loaded onto it. That's a good option for anyone who has an old phone laying around, provided they remember to factory reset it before using it. Otherwise, removing social media and messaging apps is another way to keep your data from prying eyes. Now, I can't confirm whether Trump has instructed customs to deport his opponents, but one thing for damn sure, customs officers can use any reason to deny entry to any foreigner. And you need to understand that customs officers are just regular people who have their own political views, and that can very easily lead to abuse of power. Atala says CBP agents requested to look into his email on his phone which he denied them access to
18:31 because of attorney client privilege. So I had to under duress give him permission to look through my email through my privilege information and he hid me made me write a statement signed by me saying that I gave him permission to look through the email. After several requests, Tatala says CBP agents called his sister Selene Atala who is an immigration attorney. It started with the immigrants. It's coming to us Americans and it's gonna go after all of us. After nearly five hours, Atala says he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. Now, news about CBP searches has been increasing since Trump took office. So, I want to remind a lot of our viewers to be cautious about what you post on social media. Yo, regardless of whether you support Palestine or criticize Trump,
19:17 even in your emails, keep that to yourself. And if like me, you're planning to visit the US this summer, you might want to bring a burner phone or just buy a new phone altogether because there is no way in hell I'm going to have a US border and customs patrol swiping around my phone seeing what thigh for sod I got in there. The state department is determined to protect Americans right to free speech and to counter the malign influence and actions of the Chinese Communist Party. The bottom line, we are using and will continue to use every tool in our tool chest to make sure that we know who it is who wants to come into this country and if they should be allowed to come in. And more importantly, the US State Department has already placed the CCP as well as those who support or associate with a party on the list of individuals prohibited from entering the country.
20:02 Now, this does not require any specific legislation. Yo, citing national security is all you need. And whether during the visa application process or at CBP customs, they can refuse your ass entry. As we know, there is a group of people in Taiwan who strongly support the CCP, including quite a few influencers and public figures. Some even openly attack US policies and praise China on social media platforms. And with summer vacation around the corner, for those of you who belong to such a group, you might want to cross the US on your summer destination list. Maybe you should visit China instead. I heard they have a really big wall. If you do plan to go to the US, remember, change that phone, yo. Otherwise, they just might deny your ass entry. You better be careful. Now, some might conclude that the US is fighting a completely unwinable war, trying to protect its national security while
20:48 simultaneously trying to protect freedom of speech. But maybe America can only fight on a battlefield it knows really well and is actually good at. So now looking back at the past 3 years of reviving old World War II military bases and deploying a ton of military assets to the Pacific, do you really think 2027 is just all talk?
