Is USA still a safe country to visit?

@4meAndyou

Yep, anywhere on earth.

It's been that way for a long time. Just watch the looting and the torching of autos and buildings that so many big cities experience, seemingly every few months.

50+ years ago I spent a few months in Saigon, in the middle of a war. A few months later in NYC, and I felt safer in Saigon than I did in NYC.

@Tracos
That's what fascist governments do to keep control of their citizens.

@swirlie in this case it would be non-citizens

@Tracos
It also applies to US citizens. ICE just locked up a former US Marine at the border after he re-entered the US after being away on vacation.

@iamthe99 Dont you have personal and/or business relationships that would take you back there?

@Caz82 well my company does a lot of work over there, but it’s not my area. Otherwise, barring weddings or funerals there will be nothing that will make me go back. I no longer consider the US my home

@Anniedlr I regret that that happened to you. My experiences have never been like that but then I would be a returning American so it might not be comparable. (Newark TSA has had a long history of rudeness but my last experience there wasn't bad.) Paris is the airport I hate most, with Heathrow second.
But I think you would find Americans generally a friendly group.

@LamontCranston It is unfortunate that it happened and I don’t blame Americans as a whole for the incident. I guess the person had got out of bed on the wrong side that day.

@Anniedlr They try to rattle you so you make a mistake and tell them something you shouldn't have.

@nonsensiclesnail

Since when is the government against visitors ?????

@BizSuitStacy You forgot the city that never sleeps. 🤣

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays How could I forget to mention NYC? Or DC, Newark, Miami, New Orleans...

@BizSuitStacy NYC's current mayor should be behind bars even as we speak.

@lostlissa
No I don't read it, I just watch American life play out every night on TV.

@swirlie 😂😂😂.

Violent crime is rare for affecting tourists in popular vacation areas. It's more prevalent in poverty areas.

@lostlissa
Apparently violent crime is very prevalent against grade one students at schools across America where ex-Marines tend to go to take out their frustrations in life using an AR-15. But of course, you probably don't call any of that "violent crime", do you!

@Tminus6453 ☝ This

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays This is irresponsible. Frankly, you should be ashamed to post something so groudless.

@Selah She turned away millions! (Voters, that is.)
