    Where did you get that information? Because all it said in the article was:

    Officials became suspicious of potential illegal work intentions after learning the teens had not booked accommodation for their entire five-week stay in Hawaii,

    How not booking hotels for their entire trip equates to “potential work intentions” escapes me. If you were planning on working for five weeks, wouldn’t you book a hotel near where you were planning to work? Was there a job lined up? Are we supposed to believe that in the middle of a round-the-world graduation trip, these girls wanted to spend 5 weeks working?

    Alternate explanations:

    • the “work” they were doing was shooting video of their adventures and posting it on YouTube in the hopes of establishing a career as travel influencers, so they can travel the world for a living. Basically, this trip was an investment in their future.

    • border agents got pissed off and jealous of two rich girls traveling the world, and decided to fuck with them

    • the girls became indignant at being treated like common illegal immigrants, and mouthed off, and agents decided to teach them a lesson.

    Frankly, the real story is probably a combination of all three.
