This would be funny … if it wasn’t true.

BOSTON - On April 25, Gregory Despres arrived at the U.S.-Canadian border crossing at Calais, Maine, carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood. U.S. customs agents confiscated the weapons and fingerprinted Despres. Then they let him into the United States.
(emphasis mine)
Back in the 80’s when I was in High School and the marching Band (you see I’m a nerd on many levels). We (the band) went on a trip to Niagara Falls for the “Blossom Festival” I think was ? Anyway one of our members was a Spanish exchange student and on the way back US customs held up the bus for about 2 hours why while they questioned him and verified his story. I would think that Despres should have gotten at least as much scrutiny given the array of weapons he was carrying
Just me but you can let all 0f the Mexicans in if you want but this guy should have been stopped.
