I Am Appalled

 

Even visitors from countries like Britain and France, whose citizens don’t need visas, would have to share five years’ worth of social media.

(follow the link above for full article in NYT)

On Nov. 20 last year I realized I would have to wait at least 4 years before it would possibly feel safe to travel to the U.S., but now I feel concerned and very sorry for all the foreigners - from 42 countries no less - who will have a professional or personal obligation to travel there should such a measure be enforced.

This invasion of people's privacy is blatant and goes against these countries own civil liberty rights.

With the forthcoming World Cup in mind the travel industry as well as the tourist industry must feel at the very least downhearted. Let's hope their lobbying will be persuasive enough for this asinine Admin to rollback  on that matter. But Trump and his henchmen are so disabled when it comes to put two and two together...

And exactly who has the time and is going to sit and scrutinize five years of a person's social media...times that many tourist???? In the long run he's only hurting himself and the country, not to mention if I was a foreigner I definitely would not travel here, nor if I'm an immigrant would I even want anything to do with the US. If people still want to come here don't show how desperate they are.
