An Australian comic canceled a trip to the United States after claiming legal advice warned that it could be stopped at the border due to its previous jokes on the administration of Donald Trump.
Stop laughing, she is serious.
He Guardian He informs that Alice Fraser, which appeared on the national station of Australia, ABC and the BBC, should go to New York in May to promote her new book, A passion for passion: a delirious letter of love to romance.
According to the departure, the stand-up planned to request an O-1B visa, which allows comedians to live and work in the United States if they demonstrate “extraordinary ability” in the arts.

Fraser sought the advice of an immigration lawyer, since he thought he was “paranoid” about his concerns. He left “annoying and disappointed”, this is what she told him to Guardian:
I asked [the lawyer] What I thought was a ridiculous question: that I make a political satire and I have some jokes floating in Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and if that would be a risk.
I thought she was being paranoid, but she said she could [pose a risk] And they would surely look for me on Google. She said that while most people can travel inside and outside … they are definitely increasing a greater exam.
If I did not have two children, I could be more open to prohibit a risk, but the vision of me will be there with a baby tied to me and hero and disturbed, or worse … I am not prepared for that.
Fraser has been a regular Trump critic as a taxpayer to political podcasts and radio programs, counting the Sydney Morning Herald In 2020: “I would take a Trump IAU if I wrote it about the money I owed me.”
Timid Alice said she is still open to visit the United States, but only when the jokes about Trump and Elon Musk, according to her, are not “considered hostile to the nation.”
Until then, he is happy to hug the victims and limit their political jokes powdered to the Australian public.
Please. Pray for them.
