Snippets from the Episode
- "Just because you're granted a visa, it's not a guarantee that you can come into the country. It still comes down to the Customs and Border Patrol checkpoint. When you come in, they can still decline you.” -Chris
- “ I've seen people get uncomfortable and don't tell the truth. You can get yourself pretty quickly into a jam there if you fail to declare any unrestricted good.” -Chris
- ”One in three are now brand new to this industry since the pandemic recovery. So it’s not unheard of to think that we're gonna have some first-time travelers to the U.S.” -Chris
