@JeSuisUnHombre

Any American who has crossed the border in the last couple of years does know, and the CBP were cracking down even during Biden's admin.

That is why many USians are also not traveling abroad during Trump's regime, because we would have to come back in through those same checks under his admin.

I mean, for those USians who have plans to come back...

Which, obviously, is causing tourism to fall into a giant crater.

And our Dear Leader is simultaneously whining about how bad all these “foreign invaders” are, while also being furious at how tourism revenue has fallen off a cliff because of the “woke mind virus” or some other idiocy like that.

What a time to be alive.

Father in law, an engineer in his early sixties has been declining jobs his company had lined up for him in the US. He's worried what being detained for a few days without his meds would do to him.

The people that don't know consume right-wing media exclusively or just don't watch the news in general. It's the reason we are in this situation.
