Canadian sex workers touring the US - maybe not a good time to be doing that

[2fast2slow]

A sex worker very recently told me she travels frequently to the US to work. She said her colleague was deported out of Arizona for sex work and so now she works in another state. That prompted me to look up what I could find, and I found this

Sex Workers Are Being Abducted by ICE — and Abandoned by Respectability Politics

Sex workers targeted by ICE need the migrant justice movement’s full solidarity.

I'm paranoid going to the US just because I hobby here in Montreal lol. A young attractive woman travelling alone and frequently to the US to work just seems very risky these days, just not worth the risk.

I totally agree.

I won't visit the us until further notice.

Why these girls not tour in UK or Australia instead? Rates are similar without the prudish attitude of American politicians.

One of the first independents that i saw in Montreal many years ago had worked in the UK & Australia prior to moving back to Canada & she told me that the year she spent in Australia (where she began escorting) was the best experience she ever had working as a high-end escort. I always had the impression that she regretted ever leaving.

By the way i wouldn’t recommend any Canadian escort to travel to the US for ,as long as the current regime is running tue country. The risks are not worth it. You could end up being deported to Uganda if they get suspicious & don’t like want foreign sex workers in their fascist country.

Oh I really miss the days when the Montreal agencies actively tour their girls to the U.S. Things went downhill and slowed when that incident with that I-N/MGF copy cat (forgot the name} had one of their girls busted.

I would never recommend USA to any sex worker to tour. Even before Trump, the USA had the most strictest anti-prostitution laws in the world. American politicians are prudish to the max.. They had a vendetta against prostitution since the turn of the century. There are far better places to tour and for us clients to hobby like UK and Australia.

I got banned a while back when I was with an agency. Never showed my face and wasn’t even there to tour/work and they banned me for 10+ years
So yeah be careful

they did you a favour

 

[EastWind]

It was always never a good time and idea to tour the U.S. Yet with the favorable exchange rates I guess it was worth the risk until it wasn’t. Back in the 2000s Montreal toured the major U.S. cities in flux each month.

So your trip was cancelled and you were sent back to Montreal?

Well it was bigger of a story than this but yeah ! Spent 12hrs at the airport to be interviewed. They took pictures and fingerprints. Then proceeded to escort me outside of the airport and they even called me a cab… very traumatic experience unfortunately

It's crazy and sorry you have to experience that ...

what people dont realize is that border agents (on both sides) have so much power over an individual while crossing, recourses are limitied and long term. In the short term you are at the mercy of the agent that decides you are guilty of something. Dont want to be alarmist, the actual risks of a problem is still very low, but when you hear stories of long detention (like days and weeks) its scary.

I’ve heard several first-hand experiences over the years from girls & problems they encountered trying to work in the US. One of them even ended up spending time in prison! One story i was told by a former indy was similar to yours. The American border agent immediately started accusing her of being a prostitute (without any proof) and that she was would be pulling tricks in his country if he let her in. She said she threw a mini tantrum & berated him for having the nerve to call her a prostitute! He then told her to give him names of the people she was scheduled to visit if her story was true (there was no way she was going to do this) and if she couldn’t provide him with proof then he wasn’t going to let her in. She turned around & went back to Mtl after being told she would be barred from entering the US for a year.

Another story i was told by another indy happened on her very first trip to the US. On her first day of doing incall from her hotel room in NYC she was visited the following morning by two police officers. They told her they had proof that she was escorting & told her to check herself out & return to Canada a.s.a.p. or else she would be heading to jail. She told me she suspected that one of the clients she had seen the previous day was likely a cop. She said she was terrified from their visit & immediately booked a return flight back to Montreal!

Another story was told to me by a friend who helped an sp-in-need. He lived in California at the time & saw an ad from a Mtl high-end agency advertising that some of their ladies were visiting his area. So he booked one of the girls & when he saw her she told him that she had been in the area for several days & had yet to even see a client! He saw her & kind of liked her. She asked him for his number since she was bored & didn’t know anyone. She wondered if maybe they could hang out or something if business didn’t pick up. It helped that he also spoke french. The following day she called him & told him that she was in a jam. She hadn’t seen any more clients & was running out of money. She didn’t even have any money left for a plane ticket back to Mtl! Anyways he went over to pick her up, they went out for dinner & he let her spend the night at his place. He said that he felt sorry for her because she was literally on her own! He said “Doc, i had the impression that her agency totally abandoned her!” The day she asked him to lend her money to buy a plane ticket & she’d repay him the next time he’d be visiting Mtl. He told me he doubted she’d ever repay him but he didn’t care since he was happy to having done a good deed.

Got the memo. Not going. May never see my friends on that side again.

This!

I've had at least 4 separate incidents where a lone border agent has fucked up my day or a flight or something bc they just want to go Captain America on us for some weird reason or another. All result in us getting through but not without a bunch of spent time or having to remake plans/rebook flights etc and this is before the recent animosity coming from down south.
