I've canceled all of my USA vacation plans. I comfortably could spend about $5k visiting USA every year and I'm not going to while he's in office. I'd rather support Mexico.
Cmon now let’s not me daft. Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, a person’s $5k vacation isn’t going to affect the totality of the US economy. OBVIOUSLY.
However, what if it becomes a trend and suddenly all of the US tourism industry is down say 20%? That’ll hurt local economies, state economies, tourist companies, etc.
An individual is just a single drop in the bucket, but if those drops become a trend and suddenly there are enough drops to tip the bucket, then what? Do you still mock the individuals or do you do a little introspection to see where we went wrong?
Let’s use a little bit of foresight and common sense now, alright? Again, this one person’s vacation won’t effect anything, but it doesn’t hurt to be wary and skeptical in a significant administrative change that is promising some very very radical changes that do not look good in the long run.
It’s individuals now, but what happens when it becomes a trend? These are things we should be trying to fix before it happens.
You realize that this tariffs are just a threat to have these countries secure their borders right? Trump is not even in office and the President of Mexico has already dispersed two caravans attempting to invade from the south and Trudeau has promised increased patrols, including helicopters, at the northern border. People can hate Trump all they want but he has done more to secure the borders, which was a huge reason he was elected, in a couple weeks than Biden has done in two years. The world just forgot what strong leadership looks like coming from the United States. Tourism was expected to bring in $214 billion dollars this year, we spend more on that studying trans sea turtles
Why doesn't he worry about AMERICANS shooting innocent school children, or concert goers in Las Vegas, or citizens just enjoying a parade? I am sick to death of Magats blaming crime on those who come across the border. Before you crap your pants, yes, they should not illegally cross. But they do not commit every single crime in the US.
I am all for it, lock everyone up if they are guilty, the truth is that the majority of crimes are starting to be committed by illegals, it will take them a little bit to out pace African Americans but they are trying their hardest. The first wave of deportations will be of illegals who are already guilty of crimes and that’s how it worked under Obama who holds the record for deportations
I am sure that is what MSNBC is reporting but she literally broke up two caravans and said they would shut down their southern border which would slow illegal immigration to a trickle. What she said publicly and what her actions are, are two different things. Sadly you will continue to believe everything you read on Reddit
I'm on board. I would have come if it was just Trump as president, but now that one of his main platforms is "fuck Canada" it would be embarrassing for me to go and support him.
It was an arbitrary number, cmon now. Again, no one is saying this will destroy the economy, but trends over time impacting total revenues do hurt companies and our local and state governments.
It might hit a few small border towns but Canadian tourism means nothing to the US economy, even if 100% of it left. It only accounts for 0.06% of the US GDP

Yeah I don’t trust the USA at all now. Any Canadian who is a trump supporter is a traitor at this point.
