By the number of people asserting that this sort of abusive from border patrol agents runs rampant and people just need to be ok with being deported when trying to lawfully enter the US, what leads you to believe that lawyering up in preparation to enter the US is unheard of?
I was simply sharing an anecdote about how we don't remember phone numbers anymore, in reply to someone sharing they didn't know their sibling's number. You're reading more into my comment than was stated or intended.
To read me as somehow condemning the woman in the original story seems pretty willfully bad faith.
I feel like remembering the phone number of a consulate is less useful than remembering the number of your spouse/partner/close friend, for various scenarios.
