Woman Upset After Being Caught Travelling With 2 Passports | S2 Ep 3 | Border Security Australia

[@BorderSecurityOfficial]

Do you think the officers were right to be suspicious when the woman tried to enter with a second passport after being denied on the first?

[@bout3fiddy]

Absolutely, she knew what she was doing. As an American, I'm sorry for people like her 😔

[@patobrien4947]

And she should have been excluded. Her actions were intentional (she was denied on her US passport...mmmm? And she didn't know?) Fraud.

[@melindaflick631]

I do. She knew she overstayed last time, and I refuse to believe she wasn't told that she had a 3 year ban. I just don't believe her. I think her entering in on a Greek passport is proof she knew about the ban.

The American woman created her own problem by overstaying her visa, then tried to get back in by using a different passport, knowing she had been excluded. She just HAD to see her 5 year old step-daughter. Then when she had trouble getting across the border, she said she wouldn't be back. Can't be too interested in seeing that step-daughter. Sounds to me like the child was just an excuse to get back into the country.

If it was more than $10k you can gurrantee the narrator would have said so instead of sayingn "she was allowed to keep the cash" Also note they said she was only fined for not declaring the food. Why not fined for not declaringvthe cash? Because she had done nothing wrong, that's why. Also, why didn't they screen the AFP discussion? I'll tell you why, because the AFP told that power tripping beaurocrat that she was doing nothing wrong, and there was no crime there. That bloke with the moustache was on a power trip.

seems to be a certain group from certain countries that keep trying to sneak food in without declaring and it makes me wonder if dishonesty is part of their culture? WHY dont they declare it???

[@GordSearle]

She had no idea, but brought two different passports? Always find it interesting how these people get upset with others when they get caught.

Denise fraudulently tries to enter the country and they let her in. Wow. The sisters really stick together. Would have been a very different outcome if it was a bloke.

[@cheyennetapiasmith9056]

She knew EXACTLY what she was doing with the passports

[@aralchan]

Just because many students from mainland China use Hong Kong as a stopover on their way to Australia doesn't mean she is from Hong Kong. As a Hong Konger, I can say I've never seen those food items sold in Hong Kong, and the currency she is using is Chinese Yuan, but not Hong Kong Dollars.

[@derekjones2835]

What a surprise. A HongKonger acting like they aren't 'Chinese'. Newsflash Jackie Chan, you're all the same. Respect our rules or stay in your own country.

[@timngim583]

Yes of course. Most people know that except maybe some white people

[@pauldroop]

How does that matter? She clearly had less than $10,000 - meaning she had every right to "hode" it on her suotcase and not decalre it. And that trumped up man has no business treating her like that.

Denise shouldn't have been let in. I another episode an Indian man was caught working on a tourist visa & was sent back to India while his wife & child were allowed entry into Australia. Even when the money he earned was barely anything. So how was Denise's case any different?! She overstayed by barely anything plus had different passports. How is her emotion towards her child valid but not the Indian man's? Just because she raised her voice & asked for a lawyer whereas the Indian man was so scared he could barely speak to defend himself "loudly". Certain passports truly are stronger, then!

[@artistjoh]

It is wrong that Denise was let in. She fraudulently obtained a Greek passport in order to evade the exclusion period, then lied about not knowing about it. JUST LIKE A TERRORIST WOULD DO. The way she said she wouldn't be back shows that she doesn't really care about the child at all. Likewise the Chinese student should have been sent back either without the cash or with the cash but alerting the authorities at the other end. The only reason her mother has cash and no money in the bank is because she is avoiding taxes. Daughter will be doing the same thing when she is here. Get a job that pays cash, pay no tax, and declare nothing. We don't need more dishonest people. We have enough of them already.

[@shirleycummings9259]

It wasn't a fraudulent passport Denise had dual citizenship which means she can have both passports but she did use Greek one trying to bypass the system. The Chinese student knew what she was doing. Should have been sent straight home one year ban.

[@MarkGibbs-v1c]

mmmm. I'd hold on back the righteous indignation act......how did we Aussies get here in the first place. No visas, no passports...just walked right in and stole everything. Illegal aliens and intruders who all should have been locked up and sent back right away. Didn't happen...did it?

Too many times people use "I'm not a terrorist" as an excuse to justify their illegal activities. As if what they did should not count. And what the woman did was over stay her Visa. The returning student says she did not know about the cash, her Mom put it in. However, she knows exactly how much money she is carrying 🤦‍♀️It is astonishing, to me, how so many students walk around carrying such high amounts of cash. They rate puts her as having over 13k in Australia dollars. Additionally, it surprises me that people who go to school, or have lived, in Australia for years are unable to understand English. I am guessing the courses are taught in English.

[@michaelbarker2761]

I'm not a terrorist either but it doesn't stop the Americans fingerprinting and photographing people upon entry. I'd love for American travellers to be treated the way that we are by their border guards.

That woman with the two passports knows she was doing it illegally. She needs to fess up and accept the consequences. In so many cases a lot of people are so or play ignorant when it comes to carrying foods and excess currency. They should impose a higher fee when caught.

There's nothing wrong with using two passports. I use one to leave Australia and a different one to leave Europe (as I often stay longer than the Australian one allows). In this case she overstayed her visa in a country that she did not have a passport for and tried to get around it by using another passport which again, was not for the country she was visiting.
