    Would be helpful if we could see those messages so we can form an opinion.

      Is there any message that actually should keep a person out? Like who gives a fuck if they say Trump should be hung because he’s a traitor and Russian asset?

      They should be able to say something like that or like I hope Vance is getting raped by his orange daddy and still be welcome in our country. This is America damnit.

        Yes, death threats and rape threats are a good reason why a visitor should not be admitted to the United States.
