    I haven’t get my #viss, but since last year I was thinking about it. With these news and for what you see from the #USA, there is no way that I’ll throw myself into that humilliation

      The attendance for the next FIFA cup was already looking bad, and I can’t imagine the US government wanting your history of online activity to help it even a bit.

        I can’t wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don’t go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.

        Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.

          I’ve been boycotting the world cup for a decade because they can’t stop giving the host status to horrible states

      It already is… Many people from Europe I know, now cancelled their plans.

      There are still countries even worse than the US.

      And I think you’re underestimating the strength of an immigrant’s will to take risks to attempt to find a better life. Immigrants have suffered far worse throught US History.

      I mean, just take a look at Wong Kim Ark. Dude didn’t just give up and leave, he stood his ground and fought though it, even though he had no idea if the US would even consider his case seriously.

      And many people already have relatives in the US. So these are the risks they are willing to take to reunite. Unlike many westerners, who just completely give up on the slightest obstacles.

      (Although I do think the much better option now is the EU, if they don’t have any relatives in the US already.)

    Lol I don’t even remember most of my previous handles. If amnesia isn’t a valid defense I’m never getting into the USA. Then again, I have no reason to visit shithole countries in the first place.

      Nobody can and that will be use to prove that you lie on the form if they need to find something on you in the future.

    Of course, how would they know if you don’t list any? Oh, that’s right, PRISM. Fully expect that people who don’t have social media accounts to get accused of having them simply because someone else shares the same name and did say First Amendment protected stuff, like Donald Trump is a terrible fucking president and should be impeached.

    Sorry person with the last name Erdude. I guess you aren’t getting into the US now.

    This is stupid. This will not stop spies and terrorists, they will just create fake accounts. This will only hurt legitimate immigrants.
