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

    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.

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

          Colorado is the acoustic rendition of the Pacific Northwest. It slaps, but some of the instruments and distortion have been removed. Some people prefer it, but the electric version gets more air time.

        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.

    American here:

    Don’t travel here. Don’t buy our products. Don’t sell us your products. Isolate us. Feelings about the American economy are the number 1 predictor of elections. We need the American economy to be in ruins to defeat these fascist fucks. The only other option is violence, and another American Civil War would be catastrophic for the world. We’re swimming in nukes.

    Yeah, we shouldn’t have got ourselves (and by extension, eyeryone else) into this position. But we have, and we’re asking for your help because our opposition party was too fucking incompetent to keep the least-popular President in American history from being elected back into office, and we need them to sweep future elections just to slow the bleeding in 2 years.

      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 the 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.)

    My manager and a team mate had to go to the US for work earlier this week. They’re both British citizens but Indian heritage so was genuinely worried for them. Work made sure their papers were in order and they had local contacts just in case. It was “no more difficult than usual” (it’s always been hard for brown people coming in with “random” security checks). There is no way I would be going though, would flat out refuse.

    One made it home but funnily enough the other is stuck in Vancouver on the connection as theres some fire in Heathrow. At least he’s out of the USA!

      Upper management wanted us to go to a conference in the US later this year, but they recently changed their mind. I’m relieved.
