a barrage of clingy text messages after a break up. Looks like border patrol was really trying to save the american person in this one case. /rimshot

I think that this is very unkind way to judge a person.

Funny you say that. It would seem to be standard to call the girlfriend to check his story. If she said she didn't want to see him, that would cast a great deal of doubt on his stated reason for coming.

It certainly could be interpreted in a somewhat stalkery way. We have no idea what the girlfriend thinks about this. Calling her could have cleared up a lot.

Of course it's also possible they did call her and kicked him out exactly because of something she said. We only have his part of the story. It could be a complete misrepresentation.

He also seems rather eager to share lots of private photos of them together. Could be a red flag.
