Honestly, I've felt like that since the first time I went to the US as an adult back in 2007. When flying between Canada and Europe or East Asia, I've also actively avoided having connection flights through the states, even when it would save me hundreds of dollars.
I've never met anyone as condescending and threatening as a US border agent.

I've been avoiding the US since the legislation passed in the aftermath of 9/11 meant that the TSA could arbitrarilly confiscate your computer or mobile phone at the border for no reason other than feeling like it.
The US has been sliding towards Authoritarianism for quite a while now.

As citizen I welcome anyone, but I understand when people are being dick heads and you dont want to be around that shit so you try to stay away. 3+ more years and hoping too much doesn't change so we can have a somewhat sane government. I already checked, Canada would take me and my family.
