Surely nuking the entire tourism industry (again) will fix the economy!
Especially for world cup!
They don’t want their kids exposed to different cultures. Much easier to keep people bigoted when they never meet a foreigner.
Well there are still people stupid enough to visit the Untied States now, I don't know what would have to happen to get through to them

Just don't go there. There's no due process currently over there, at least for foreigners.
If you absolutely need, send a robot instead of yourself. Much less hassle. :)
"I don't use social media."
You can't prove a negative. Shift the onus back onto them. Any attempt at them trying to connect the dots should be met with "That user is not me, any similarities in their name is purely coincidental."
Create a bogus email not tied to any social media and they won't have a leg to stand on.
Not to mention how incredibly difficult that enforcing such a policy would be. Could you imagine the manpower required for people to trawl through 5 years of social media history searching for verboten political speech against Dear Leader? Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to use AI for this, since they'd have a hard time finding enough die-hard Trump loyalists to pack into the DHS to actually perform the background checks at the rate they would need to happen...
Better yet, just avoid coming to this rapidly declining country in the first place.
They'll just say you're lying, detain you, and charge you with withholding evidence.
They're going to have AI look this shit over. No person will look unless AI flags it I bet
You have to provide all your email addresses for the last 10 years and the names, phone numbers and addresses of all your family members as well.
BTW, Lemmy is social media.
But how many people are dumb enough to have their phones searched with their social media apps on them?

I don't know why anybody still chooses to go to the Untied States
Because we are all required to use social media?
Not required to use, just access to all your social media. In addition, the rules want your phone history, including texts and 10 years of emails. Also remember, this (Lemmy) is considered social media. So, good luck if you have ever posted anything on a forum that a bunch of Nationalist Christians, or Nat-c's for short, don't like.
This is why you don’t use your real name online.
This is why governments are pushing age verification to track you while pretending it's to protect the children.
its to silence dissent against israel, and right wingers, and young people are the most avid at using social media to communicate thier displeasure of govts.

They really want to kill the tourism industry.

The good news is that pretty soon there won't be any foreign tourism to the US, so no one will have to enforce this.

So, I guess it's been foreign tourists who have been planting pipe bombs and shooting up our schools?
No, that's ANTIFA, who is fully supported and funded by the Democrat Party.
/s, just in case.
Exactly. That tourist may look harmless with their camera and suitcase. But there are actually pure blooded chaos agents sent to destroy our beautiful nation. -s
They come in to steal our most coveted blueberry picking jobs.
none will be asked of RUSSIAN, Saudia arabia, UAE, israel no doubt.
"will have to" is such a misleading phrasing... Many of them will visit elsewhere. Fuck that shit for tourism. It's not worth it, not to see some sites.
There are so much more nice sites on the planet. South America has lots, New Zealand, Australia... Just to name a few. Why would I spent money to go to that place and thus supporting a fascist regime, getting profiled for nothing and be seen as a potential threat for nothing when there are so many better alternatives?
Hahaha eat shit Dumberikkka! How’s your tourism industry doing? Bad? Not a thing of value was lost.
Trump: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/28/travel-spending-us-from-overseas-tourists-to-fall-in-2025.html
Also Trump: $12B projected loss? Hold my beer.
NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO MAKE FUN OF ME.
If you don't go, don't invest over there. You won't have to submit them anything. So like North Korea, Iran or China: stay away.
That's insane. This is insane.
People should not be coming to the US. They are likely to be chained and sent back by these fascist.
Sent back if they're lucky. Otherwise sent to concentration camps, El Salvador, or just never seen again at all.
More like chained, thrown into concentration camps, and forgotten about/ lost/ killed. Travelling to this country is an existential threat.
As if people are even planning to visit. I’m not, not even when Trump is dead.
Maybe when the union is dead, but yeah they are speed running the collapse of an empire.
This is protection. Protection for a snowflake trump administration against JD Vance memes. Egos in this government are too fragile for repeated meme attacks and therefore they must be stopped at the borders at all costs. God I wish this was a joke
"Sir, the memes are coming from inside the house!"
The list of countries in the visa waiver program includes many European nations like the United Kingdom, Germany and France, as well as some U.S. allies around the world, including Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
Side note: interesting that European countries are not included in the list of allies.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
