      You just need to see the detainment as adventure… and don’t forget to say “Thank you”… they are quite touchy about that.

      Yep lol. From what we’ve seen lately, it really is up to border control whether you enter or go to solitary confinement. You don’t even get the option to board the next plane back home.

      How the different countries aren’t all up in arms about this treatment of their citizens is beyond me. I’d expect that from a poorer country like Venezuela, but not from Germany or the UK.

    I predict many small companies in the USA, will have to close after this summer due to this. It will be a disaster! Maybe it is by design though… more money to big corporations after this

    We were in the US for summer holidays in 22 and 23 to visit friends. They came over last year. We really planned to visit them again but this will definitely not happen in the next years until the Americans get rid of the fascists.

    As an American, please don’t try to visit us right now. I have a friend who went to visit family overseas, and she almost didn’t make it back in after being detained (she has full citizenship). She was also absolutely profiled due to skin color and accent, so unless you pass for a deep south redneck, it isn’t worth the risk.

    I wouldn’t even leave the US for fear of trouble trying to get back in–and I’m a citizen! Forget trying to enter this country as a non-citizen nowadays. I’ve read numerous accounts of absolutely disgusting conditions people faced when being detained attempting to enter the US. Stay the hell out until further notice-- even if you get in there’s not much here worth risking that much over.

    But how do you stop visiting, if you never started? After the abolition of civil rights with the US Patriot act I decided not to go there, even though I had always dreamt of visiting some day. I’d still like to go some day, when sanity returns. I doubt I’ll live to see that, though.

      If you’re not visiting, you’re not part of this chart and thus won’t have an impact.

    For the record, I personally love meeting and engaging with tourists, telling them about great places to check out in my town…I’d rather share time and space with a foreigner than a member of the Shit-Flinging Orangutan Cult any day. But I fully support a top-to-bottom boycott of this whole-ass country by the rest of the world. Bring our economy to its knees, please. Americans need a whole damned lot of humility.

      I went 5 times for work last year. So I think many of the entries are the same people. There are multiple flights each day which almost always seemed full.

    Alas, I doubt this will arm the orange racist clown or its billionaire buffoon. Only people like us will pay the price, some of them wearing that stupid red cap some of them not wearing it.
