They say, international tourism to Usa plummets by 10%.
So there are still 90% certified idiots.

Everyone who is going to USA for vacation is an idiot.

I mean, a lot of people aren’t willing to outright cancel their already booked trips, since they don’t wish to waste potentially thousands of euros, so they may as well take the risk

Aaand this is why the national governments in the EU should already have issued an official travel warning... or simply state on camera: "Don't go to the fucking USA!"

"These travelers were denied entry after attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses. One used a Visitor visa, the other the Visa Waiver Program," CBP Assistant Commissioner Hilton Beckham said in a statement. "Both claimed they were touring California but later admitted they intended to work – something strictly prohibited under U.S. immigration laws for these visas."
Provided that that's true, and I'm not saying it definitely is, that would be a valid reason to deny entry.

Welcome to the real world. Pity they had to find out this way, but maybe it'll rattle them enough to [email protected] and [email protected]

I look forward to Hawaii's tourism economy being destroyed by fear of being deported

TBF, that's normal. People tend to consume social media in their own language and don't get the full brunt of what's going on in the US. People want to stick to the idea that the world is just as normal as it was 10 years ago.

She's just a kid who recently finished school. But I hope she learned an important life lesson there.

They did not send them to El Salvador btw, they're back in Germany now.
But the description of how they were treated is still harrowing:
Pohl and Lepère were interrogated in Honolulu International Airport for hours and allegedly subjected to body scans and strip searches before, finally, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents denied them entry to the country and said they would be deported, according to the outlet.
Officials became suspicious of potential illegal work intentions after learning the teens had not booked accommodation for their entire five-week stay in Hawaii
So everytime I travel I'm a potential terrorist? That's what (many) backpackers do you dumbasses.
The women said they were placed in a holding cell beside some other detainees who were accused of serious crimes. The teens alleged they spent the night on moldy mattresses in a freezing double cell.
On March 19, the young travelers were allegedly taken back to Honolulu International Airport in handcuffs, where they requested to be sent to Tokyo, Japan.
Now imagine how much worse it is for all those so-called "illegals", and still how much worse when they get to El Salvador.

That's not in the article and those people were in Hawaii, not in California.

Then you didn't pay attention, cause it happened to other Germans already.
And the Auswärtige Amt (German Foreign Office) has updated their travel advisory for the US with new warnings. -

Sorry that was from a different article. Same incident.

My experience is that travelling around the world is basically a full-time-job where you spend at least 2 hours every day gathering up-to-date info about your upcoming itinerary.
But maybe I'm weird that way. When I'm travelling with others, I usually slide into the role of travel guide automatically. -

You'll still read enough about Trump and the US, even if you read in your native language. I see enough news about Trump every day, no matter what platform. The lady is just super naive and thought: nothing will happen?

But the bulls will only either kill you or break a few bones if you don't get out of their way. Here, the "bulls" make sure to corner you and pummell you down, just for the thrill of it.
