Every one of them that were detained was because the person was on a watchlist etc and the only people were denied was not just because they "didn't like the current administration".

In an average year there are about 400,000 denied entry into the US. Most require no searches. They don't meet the entry requirements. In 2024, Biden's last year, there were over 1.2M people denied entry.

So please spare us the "this administration" because this is just how US policy works, and even if one or two people are sent back because they hate Trump it doesn't move the needle compared to the number of people we deny entry to every year.

What sort of watchlist are they on? Do you think it is appropriate for the government to keep watchlists of journalists that point out how Israel is committing a genocide? Is there a watchlist of French Scientists that espouse informed opinions on how bad US policies are? Why are conservatives such snowflakes that can't handle even the slightest criticism? It's interesting that you're equivocating illegal immigrants being turned away with the tourists and professionals booking $1500 tickets to fly on our airline. There's a bit of a difference there. For every person who is turned away for the awful offense of saying Elon Musk is full of ****, how many hundreds or thousands of full fare paying passengers

I hate too break it to you. Trump's approval rating in the US is at 58%. Are you going to ban 58% of America from coming back home? And what do you think the disapproval rating is overseas? Obviously approval rating on POTUS are less common for overseas countries, but the highest approval rating I can find in Europe is Romania at 30%. And the wealthier Western Europe nations are mostly in the teens, led by the ULK at 22%. So are we going to ban 70% of Europe from coming to the US? What impact do you think that will have on our profit sharing?

You need to expand your media intake or you're going to have a heart attack.

Holy thread drift guys. Blue, give it a rest. Go outside and breathe air. It’ll be okay.

Every country has a list for whatever they want to have a list for (including the ones you listed). Visiting a country is a privilege, not a right. Get over it.

The excessive rant from y’all’s side is exhausting.

Now… back on topic.

Since hotels are a limiting factor, what are the chances we build a hotel on that land that the company bought? Could also move all the sims over there as well. Make it one big complex? Isn’t near anything really, but maybe have transportation provided? Just a thought

Biden's was 38%. Presidential approval rating is not a predictor of people visiting the US. This didn't stop people from coming to the US. More people will travel to the US in 2025 and 2026 than any of the last 4 years regardless of Trump's approval rating.

The blog sites you posted are not "news". Also they even say that social media posts will only be used if they espouse or support terrorism. Nothing about disliking Trump. Your assertion that everyone that "doesn't like Trump" will not be let in is ridiculous.

This reminds me of the time that pre-SLI United offered some monthly COLAs in a few categories and someone on the CAL Merger Committee went and counted the total pilot count in those Categories and got 1,700 pilots. United ended up offering about 30 total monthly COLAs, some even only partial month. Then during the SLI hearings they quoted the monthly COLA and tried to claim United had "1,700 extra pilots".

I wonder if you're the same guy because you both math the same way.

I guess you don’t really know what Birth Tourism is………. because they at least legally are American. It is a totally legal (although not without controversy) very expensive medical service that has been practiced en masse to many a upper middle class Chinese families ….in order to acquire Birthright citizenship….and in the case of California there of course other ancillary benefits. So most wealthy Chinese pick Southern California……big revenue for UCLA hospital system

Thats an auto correct mistake and I can’t edit it. Trumps DISAPPROVAL rating is 58%. The Biden approval rating really doesn’t matter unless you can provide evidence he directed federal agencies to block critics from entering the country.
