All things considered, reviewing five years of a tourist's social media is not as horrific as other moves. But it suggests:

*utter disregard for the First Amendment
*our government going into mass surveillance mode
*a very predictable and costly negative effects on tourism (already happening!)

This fascism pure and simple. If a democrat had ever approximated any plans of this kind, you all would have lost your minds.

I want to understand how ANYONE who believes in civil liberties and core American principles can defend this.

It's strange how people get so up in arms about things only when it hits close to home. Not defending the policy but, and this goes with all those racist Euro-defenders, I had a friend (American born and raised) that was denied entrance at Heathrow over 30 years ago for simply looking too Irish even though they were, and had, a southern European surname; and they had to basically eat a round trip ticket from New England. Countries have been doing things like this since forever.

The US has used Immigration counters as de facto race-based admissions tests for decades but white people only seem to care when white people are targeted. Maybe open your damn mouths when it's your neighbor.

That people don't understand the slippery slope is troubling.

They will surveil you. Your neighbors will turn you in if they don't like you. You will be restricted.

Trust me. I lived in China. This is what they do.
