BERLIN, March 19 (Reuters) - Germany updated its travel advisory for the United States to emphasise that a visa or entry waiver does not guarantee entry for its citizens after several Germans were detained at the border recently, a foreign ministry spokesperson said.

The ministry updated its travel advice website for the U.S. on Tuesday to clarify that neither approval through the U.S. ESTA system nor a U.S. visa entitles entry in every case.

1. Oh shit...........

[FakeNoose]

2. This is for German citizens who visit the US

Even if they have a current visa or entry waiver, the German visitors may be detained at our border.

3. We get 2 million German tourists per year in the US. This will hurt us.

In 2023, nearly 2 million German tourists visited the United States.
Economic Impact: Germany is the third largest contributor to the US tourism sector, bringing in over $8 billion. So much pointless Trump destruction.

5. Now we will get millions from communist countries.........

[no_hypocrisy]

4. How many tourists will iCE detain for

The World Cup and the Olympics?

7. Holy shit, FIFA is coming here next year!

I had no idea, it's going to be a zoo. Chump will ruin everything, I'm sure.
Maybe they'll cancel and move it all up to Canada?

6. Getting To Ridiculous UnDemocratic Levels in the USA now

From BlueSky

Negative personal opinion about Trump can get your entry to the US denied.

Even if you are a researcher heading to a conference.

We are getting to ridiculous undemocratic levels [here]

8. Great way to boost the economy

but maybe Drumpf is just wanting to drive the non-Trump hotels out of business so he can pick them up cheap. Elon will help if he has any money left in a couple of months.
