If I were a foreigner there is no way I would travel to America for these events. Thoughts?


I hope the IOC will cancel the Los Angeles games citing the likelihood of athletes and guests from other countries being arrested, detained, and put in prison by ICE

They just strip searched and detained and refused entry two white German tourists in HNL because they hadn't made hotel reservations thus were suspicious work seekers. I note white in case people think privilege helps. Nope.
This does not encourage visitors.

Wonder if spectators will actually travel to the World Cup next year? I wouldn't.

Yet - give it a few years

Presumably if the events stand there will be less travelers here than compared to other events.

People - you do not need to do that. Get a grip. 70,000 non Americans arrive in the US everyday.

It’s insane that is what is needed to happen in order to come to the US.
