The change comes amid President Donald Trump's large-scale crackdown on illegal immigration.

      Hot take - New York City, Northern California / the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii are the best tracks on America’s album.

        Nah, it’s the US National Parks.

        But honestly, none of those are worth your safety as an international traveler. Just wait until it’s safer. Though that might be a couple decades, at this point.

          The national parks are amazing. But who knows if they’ll still be around since we’re firing everyone who maintains them. Not sure if the plan is to destroy them or to give them to some oligarch as a little play-area.

    I wouldn’t go to the US now if you paid me. Crazy fucking locals armed with massive amounts of guns, Americans who cheer for the reduction of rights for particular sets of people and the complete destruction of the government. The president threatening allied countries. Fuck the US.

    America is a fucking shithole. We should put a wall around it to keep the world safe.

      I hope we give a real advisory and just straight up mark the country yellow, possibly orange for anybody not hetro or white instead of just telling people to “check visa requirements” so papa US doesn’t get angry…

      Mexico’s been yellow with orange area’s for years while crime rates in some area’s are totally comprable.

      They are losing it and we’d to well to remember there are more weapons there per capita there than we have bicycles.

      (The scale is green, yellow, orange, red, for those that don’t know what i’m on about. Green obviously meaning (relatively) safe, and red essentially being a warzone.)

    While the US is going batshit insane, fuck white people that ignore visa requirements.

    Most countries have very clear visa regulations, especially for short term visas. If you travel to the US and Canada as a European white person and you get refused entry because your paperwork is not OK, that is entirely on you. I deal with those entitled people on the regular. It’s satisfying to see them not being able to use their white card. L2read and prepare.

    If you’re not white and European, that’s a different story unfortunately…

      Not sure where this is coming from but people are not only refused entry. People are detained. Even with valid documentation, evidently.

      Germany also revised their travel advisories to reflect this.

        The father complained that his daughter got refused entry into Canada and was then detained in the US. If she would have had the correct paperwork for Canada, nothing would’ve happened.

        But I agree, my rant is a bit out of place in here. Not the right place to relieve stress about dealing with entitled white people :)
