To any Americans out there who are not MAGA fans. Question on travel to the US.

Sorry to say, at least for now - some of your worries are justified.

People in the US are not the problem, and in fact Canadians would find themselves welcome in most places - especially communities closer to the northern border.

BUT, the official machinery of immigration & border security has been politicized way beyond what's needed to prevent undocumented entry and illegal trade. Much of what you read & see about it online is exaggerated by the usual trolls & fearmongers, but enough is true that you should expect difficulties and take precautions.

Red state or blue, anticipate that your phone & other devices will be subject to search. The I - 94 form is an absolute requirement. You'll be questioned regarding family, friends, and business - on both sides of the border. Try to cover all bases by enrolling in the NEXUS trusted traveller program. Check with the Canadian embassy or consulate in your destination city for other advice before you leave.

My own feeling is that it's very unlikely you'll be detained, but you will be hassled and inconvenienced by DHS, Customs, and Transportation Safety. So unless you feel this trip is an urgent necessity, it may be best to put it off.

This insanity is temporary, and the people who pretend to run things here are losing support fast. For the time being though, the US is nobody's first choice for a good time ✌

Your worries are justified like someone said. From what I have heard they might check your social media posts. So make sure to delete everything that goes against the government ☹. Posts mentioning you know who…

But otherwise you’re fine considering your ethnicity. I see tourists all the time and airports are full , packed with tourists from all over the world ( last time I caught a flight was less than a month ago).

My two states will welcome you :) OR or CA i love um

I have to travel to the US and I’m not happy about it. Advice I’ve been given is to travel with a burner phone that doesn’t have access to social media etc.

I would consider the Blue states to at least have common sense, but maybe it is best she come to Canada instead.

Oy, just fly to California. If you’ve got a legit passport you’ll be fine.

The Canadian Travel Bureau is telling Canadians to avoid travel to the USA.

They are also telling Canadians to leave your cellphone at home and buy a burner phone when you get to the USA if you have to travel on business and to leave your laptop at home as well.

The US border patrol have the right to search your phone and your laptop in search of anything that is anti-Trump or anti-American in content.

If you have had any drug-related or booze related incidents with the law, even 20 years ago while on spring break in Fort Lauderdale, do not travel to the USA or else you'll be detained indefinitely.

This is currently the case for a Canadian-born guy who travels to the US from Canada on business regularly, who did a side-trip to Mexico and then got detained by ICE upon entry back into the USA from Mexico. He's been in detention for the past 4 months now in Texas and they have no reason to be holding him, but they are...

Just get a really good tan, change your name to Pedro Gonzales, and learn some key Spanish phrases. They won't even look twice.

Being a white male, you've already passed their test.
