Summary
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich urged a global boycott of U.S. travel to protest Trump’s policies, warning his administration is “brutally attacking U.S. democracy.”
In a Guardian op-ed, Reich called on foreign visitors, students, and skilled workers to reconsider coming, citing economic and safety concerns. He argued withholding tourism revenue could pressure Trump.
His plea follows Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown and rising tensions with Canada.
Reich’s call comes as Canadian travel to the U.S. has already shown signs of decline.
I’m an American living in Europe for almost 10 years and haven’t been stateside since like 2018. I’ve been homesick a lot recently, but I’m trying to come to terms that there’s a real chance I’m never going back.
Hate to break it to you, but your “home” no longer exists.
Exactly. That’s what I heard from people who lived abroad a long time. While you’re away, the country of origin changes and after a while you’re homesick for a place that only exists as a memory.
Your better off where you are
Considering European tourists keep getting detained there should be a travel ban in place until this administration is gone. If nothing changes within the next 3 months travel here could become a death sentence. The Alien enemies act allows him to send people to EL Salvador without due process. You’ve seen those videos and pictures. It will be on your country to get you out. Our courts are struggling to even get people back despite the fact that we are not at war so he cannot legally (lmao imagine a felon actually following the law) do that.
Don’t risk your life to come here, and if there’s a problem with your immigration status self deport. This country is going to be destroyed at this point.
I was in the US once because of a business trip, I was there for 4 days and had 3 interviews with the border police. Not doing that again even if the company is paying for it.
That’s because you looked “other”.
Just don’t do that next time, you should be fine.
(/S, just in case)
This is one of the best thing that I think can happen as a united front against that fascist stooge in the White House. And while I’m doubtful it’ll do much on a small scale, if everyone participated- this would be devastating enough for those hurt by it to actually do something.
I mean I live here. So I’m just trying to boycott all conservative companies and refuse to travel to any red state.
I live here too and I’m all for it.
As an American, I’m certainly not planning to visit any time in the near future.
This is stupid.
He doesn’t care, because he doesn’t have to care.
So long as he has his violent inbred redneck base, which he has to the death right now, he will paint any and all protests as proof to them that the evil libtard eurocucks are just angry that America is standing up to them for once.
There is literally nothing you can do to get through to the core of his base, and it’s just large enough that he can ignore everything else, which is the only thing he learned in his first term, you only need 32% to win.
I don’t know if getting through to his core base matters - they are and always will be a lost cause. But people should protect themselves and Americans should feel the pain economically, from the top to the bottom.
I think we need a proper schism, the only way we got them under control last time was with a civil war, but personally kicking out all the vile southern trash sounds like the best possible outcome for everyone.
We can live in a civilized country, and they can wallow in their own shit raping their sisters, ok obviously that doesn’t work out for their women but we can start an underground railroad to funnel them to the real world.
