Ridiculous! Starting August 20, 2025, certain travelers found eligible for a B1/B2 visa must post a bond of $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000. The amount will be set during the visa interview.

Wonder how this will affect the FIFA Cup and the 2028 summer Olympics?

  2. Everyone knows he's a lousy businessman, except him. Who else could be given a total of $413 million dollars, and go bankrupt? He could have just bought C.D.'s or government bonds, and lived on the interest in perpetuity. But not him, he's a greedy bastard and a bully.

  6. My message to our friends and allies in other countries, please do not travel to the United States right now. It is not safe, and ICE will pick you up and arrest you w/o any probable cause, warrant or reason. Until this criminal administration is voted out, America is not safe to travel.

  7. What happens when ICE detains them before their visas run out (it's common practice now) and they are held past their "expiration date?" Do they forfeit the bond? What a scam!!!

  8. Personally I think FIFA and the IOC should move their respective events out of the United States for a better experience for everyone involved.

  9. The Olympics need to do a change of venue to protect the athletes from other countries.Why should USA be rewarded for their crimes? Would they still send athletes to Russia? This as much as it pains me to say it is not safe to hold here anymore than it would be safe for Olympics in Russia

  13. I read that it's a small selection of countries that have a "track record" of legal visitors who just don't go home. Like Melania, for example.

  14. Nobody is coming. Travel is down more than 40% and it will continue to fall as the stories of horrific treatment and even detention spread.

  15. They want to isolate everyone . That is their America first ideology that was a disaster in the past

  16. “The U.S. was the only country forecast to see international visitor spending decline in 2025—in part due to Trump administration initiatives that make it more difficult or expensive for foreign travelers to enter the U.S.”
