This is so true.

Australia remodeled their immigration to mimic Americas. Here in Australia there is a TV show called Border Patrol where they show all the foreigners getting rejected, busted for drugs, or fined for bringing in food. Some people are rejected for saying the wrong reason for coming into the country or not having enough money in their overseas bank account to support their stay ~ it's great
