No one should go to the US, it isn't safe and certainly not worth the risk. Spend your time and money in a free country.
- I want tourism to be down by a lot so that people notice a difference. tRump won't notice because his yes men will say it's up by a thousand percent, but voters might notice. The more this country hurts in the short term, the better the chance it has to fix itself in the long term.
  
  IMO it should be brought down to 0.
  
  The average maga voter probably wont because next month GDP is gonna be up eleventy billion percent, we will add a million billion jobs and unemployment will be negative one hundred percent. They will see these numbers and the stock market will continue to go brr.
  As long as dear leader is in charge acknowledging anything is amiss in the economy will be considered treason.
  
  You get it, for life.
  
  I can’t permanently move out of the US, but every bit I can spend outside of the US is a win for me
- Some people I know are off to Florida for a few weeks (we're European). I joked with one of them that they should try not to get detained by immigration. I think the joke flew over their head though.. Lol
We have a child-rapist for a president, and people are being disappeared off the street and sent to torture prisons. Why were they considering coming here in the first place?
- I guess the grand canyon is still pretty neat, until they discover oil at the bottom or something...
  
  Wasn't it on fire fairly recently?
Probably worried about getting raped by trump.
- More likely they are worried about getting locked up in jails for weeks for illegally seeking work in the US by selling cookies.
  
  ¿Por que no los dos? ICE will lock them up, and then rape them.
  
  And not just any cookies, but contraband cookies!
- More aptly he should be worried about his grandkids.
"And slowly, but surely, all the doors in and out of America shut. Tourism gradually died out and a country once prized as the most successful international hub of the world became a sealed bubble. Once their isolation was complete, global powers once held in check by America's might, had a free hand to expand their imperial ambitions and make their move. Taiwan was annexed in 3 months. Most of Eastern Europe fell a year later. In the face of such overwhelming might even Western European countries bent the knee rather than risk nuclear annihilation. Finally Russia's might was restored and all that was left was to wait for the once powerful but now isolated bubble that was America to collapse in on itself. Then, it would be a simple matter to take it. Possibly even without a shot being fired. " Comrade Putin!..... Comrade Putin you asked to be woken up... you seemed to be shaking and grinning in your sleep. Are you alright? I must say that is an impressive boner sir! What were you dreaming about?"
- You had me in the first 80%, ngl.
As an American who lives literally 15 minutes from the border, I personally wouldn't want my friends from abroad to come here right now. It just isn't safe.
This country is sick and no one should voluntarily be coming here.
- In fact, it's worth getting out if you're vulnerable and have the means to
  
  Everyone is vulnerable, 99% do not have the means. Where would they even go? Draftees fled to Canada during Nam, the current dynamics are much different since the US govt is doing everything it can to break historic relationships. Both countries are also carefully negotiating trade pact to include things like making refugee status harder to obtain. Only fair the rest of the world do it, but "y'all should just leave" hardly helpful as an answer
You would be nuts to send your little girls to this Nazi run country.
Smart move on their part.
I'll take "Well duh" for $200, Alex.
The Canadian Girl Scouts made a good decision. If I was a parent in Canada, I would ask, "How about Europe, New Zealand, Australia or Japan?"
Good move. It's definitely too risky to go there at this point in time.
I love this for so many different reasons
