What kind of review are they talking about and how would it take? |
If the situation was revered and it was a bunch of Americans who raped and murdered some innocent people in some other country. I would support that country punishing those individual however they see fit regardless if they want to let them have access to a US consulate or not, especially if some of our citizens were over there illegally to begin with. If a country has a history of executing and jailing Americans for petty stuff then we can ban American travel to that country or require those going to that country to sign a enter at your own risk waiver.
