There are a number of cautionary tales going around and within the last 3 hours there was a story on the radio that some Brits were arrested on arrival even with the correct documentation.
I never felt especially safe travelling to the USA before 2025, owing to the prevalance of firearms and the default hostility of immigration officials in airports. I would not even consider a trip there in the current environment. It is lawless and dangerous.
@BrandNewMan Tell that to the people who are being accused............with no proof or trial whatsoever to prove those accusations..............who are now sitting in a prison in Salvador.
They lack legal documentation of accepted immigration status. That is a misdemeanor first offense, a felony if previously arrested for the offense. They have committed other crimes while here.
Worry about the citizens of this country they commit crimes against before standing up for illegals .. or go live with them anywhere else.
@BrandNewMan I presume you don't read the foreign press but there are many instances of European and Australian tourists, properly documented, being detained at the border, aggressively interrogated for many hours and in some cases refused entry to the US and deported.
Idk how people outside of the US feel but I think it would be fine for anyone who is legal to enter that doesn't engage in anything that would draw attention from the federatie and avoids talking about politics in public, including social media.
The Canadian government has recently put out a travel advisory to all Canadians, cautioning all individuals to avoid all travel to the USA unless the reason for travel to the US is absolutely unavoidable.
Canadians as well as European business travelers are being warned to NOT take their cellphones or their laptops into the USA when traveling, but instead take a 'burner phone' containing no personal information, plus a blank laptop which only contains very specific business data and not any personal stuff.
@Wizardry America's situation with a fascist government leading their parade is more real than Americans are aware of and quite frankly, it's too late to fix the spiral dive they've allowed themselves to get drawn into.
@BuzzedLightyear It's no longer the American ghettos that people traveling to the USA have to worry about, it's the gestapo mentality that is experienced in middle class suburbia with ICE agents indiscriminately raiding peoples homes without warrants, no different than Hitler's SS.
