It's not even a boycott at this point, who in their right mind would cross the border and risk getting detained by an unshackled border control and ice.
Exactly, I wouldn't visit America for the same reason I wouldn't visit Afghanistan...it's a dangerous country run by dangerous religious nut jobs.
I think many of us are shocked that the US has an army of ICE and CBP agents that were this ready to go full Gestapo. That suggests some alarming underlying issues.
Yet you have been regularly informed that "some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" since 1992.
Don't know if that's widespread knowledge outside of the US but it would be interesting if that was widely known within the US.
The type of people that went into those agencies are uhh obsessed about those issues.
One can only wonder how many white nationalists gravitate towards those jobs, especially ICE agents.
Yup. Boycott is only part of it. The other part is that it's not safe. ICE is out of control and has already sent Canadians to jail for zero reason.
I'm planning a 15 hr drive next month that I'd normally do thru the US as it shaves a few hours off. But not this time. You literally couldn't pay me to cross that border - I can't risk getting shipped off to some concentration camp in El Salvidore because ICE doesn't like my hybrid car, or whatever.
Nobody in their right mind, but people who want to experience one of the best and one of the worst Rainforest Cafes in the same day.
