Gonna be a wild time when other countries start reciprocating by revoking American visas and deporting Americans because of the policies of this administration.

I just got back from Europe last night and thought people were especially nice and sympathetic. I was expecting some hostility and received the complete opposite. Italy and France for the W.
It could be very dangerous for the Americans traveling now in unfriendly countries (and I can tell you there are many)
This administration makes dumb decisions without stopping to think of the consequences.
Hopefully, most of the world will ban Americans from their shores, while painful for many innocent travellers, I can't wait to see the outpouring of anger by the administration. They operate under the flag of " don't you dare do unto us as we do unto you". Asswipes, all of them.
The most terrifying thing is that he has degenerated politics into a cult (personality cult), and his fans can even whitewash words like "injecting disinfectant to cure COVID-19" - what is wrong with the United States?
Other nations recognize USA was built on the backs of first nations, human trafficking and migrants leaving despotic and oppressive regimes. America asylum seekers will be recognized for the human equity they contribute.
Given the public and veterinary health implications of measles, bird flu and the total abandonment of a rational communicable disease policy in the US, it may not be long before vaccination requirements are imposed for visas and inspection of US food exports becomes […]
And where will these people go if South Sudan is not accepting them back? Weird solution that hurts individuals when you’re mad at their government. Let’s hope other countries don’t do the same to is
Deporting refugees from a genocide back to the genocide. I hope Marco Rubio gets the most painful and embarrassing form of cancer. Non-fatal, I don’t want him to experience the relief of death.
In Canada I work with trump loving American. I would love for him to be forced to go back home.... (as little as he works, we wouldn't even notice the loss)
Report them as saying that Canada should be the 51st state, Canada does not deserve to be a sovereign country, that they hate Canadians, and they are making the workplace a hostile environment. And anything else you can think of. 🤔 Magats believe these things. Do they really deserve a job in Canada?
My granddaughter has an online friend who lives in the UK and would like to come visit. I told her to tell them not to come and that it's not safe to travel to the US right now.
Don’t know if Duke is winning, since the power is out, but one of their best players is Khaman Maluach, of, you guessed it, Rumbek, South Sudan,
So does he get deported before the title game? Frogmarched off during pregame warmups. Snatched by ICE during the game? Seems like normies would notice.
South Sudan is teetering on returning to a Civil War over actions that have taken place in the last two months, 60% of the country is food insecure, and fighting a cholera outbreak affecting 10% of the population. I’m sure this is the best time to do this, right?
I saw Little Marco on TV the other day and was wondering if F47 is making him wear a suit that’s two sizes to big, or if he is just wearing an ill fitting suit to look like his Dear Leader. Thoughts?
Rubio is proof that the GOP without a doubt is in fact a cult. That somehow a Jim Jones personality has managed to take people with good sensibilities and general ideas that we may or may not agree with, but we can discuss and destroy them.
You bag of crap. You shouldn't be talking this way. Your family came from Cuba. Your parent should be really proud of the racist child they raised. I would be ashamed if a child of mine did this.
Yes, Radley Balko, Turnabout is fair play. Marco knows the meaning of this old saying. He's a shameless, fucking wimp & will not stand up for the Constitution. However, he gets on his knees & performs fellatio on the Orange Orangutan. Fuck Marc Rubio!
They might but it would not help turn the tide because the Trump administration is also at war with the American people. They want us isolated, powerless, and aggrieved.
I think one of the best things other countries could do at this moment is (1) barring non-official visits by the admin and their families and (2) requiring visas for all Americans who visit. Those of us who understand why they are adding challenges to travel will deal with it gracefully.
So because South Sudan won't repatriate a relatively small number of immigrants, the plan is to massively increase that number and demand that South Sudan repatriate them all? Or are they the next winners on Who Wants to Be a Slave in a Concentration Camp?
Really sad and disgusting. What a freaking weasel. Wait, sorry, that is an offense to weasels. Scumbag. Hmm, scumbags may even be offended by the comparison. Well, Rubio is lower than a lowly piece of dog shit.
Yeah, innocent people who literally voted against this and are going to suffer needlessly deserve to starve to death because aome 80 year old idiot is okay with being used.... yeah, the 60% of my country below the poverty line needs to be taken down a peg. not the rich billionaires, just the poor.
Oh, i see you are a sociopath with no empathy, just like elon... gotcha. You do know that the majority of the United States is kept by regulations and laws in conditions that other countries believe are inhumane ... or did you buy all the United States propaganda, too?
What the fuck are you talking about? I’m saying other countries should start revoking visas for Americans just like America is revoking visas for non Americans.
First and foremost, EU shall not let USians enter without proof of full vaccinations, as required by the regulations of the strictest EU country.
No plague carriers from the US in the EU.
And they should... IMO vast majority of overseas Americans are entitled / privileged beyond compare and they will generally freak the fuck out. let them
Wait til the rest of the world turns it's back on us, stops buying our products and stops selling us theirs! Sends americans home, all of theirs leave.
There are a couple countries (mostly lower-income ones) that the US makes it very hard to get visas for, and they reciprocate (Vietnam is one; my visa application went back and forth like 8-9 times before they were happy). This will probably expand.
(And the final visa came back with an error that, if immigration control had been paying attention, would have gotten me barred from entering the country.)
So what you're saying...
By the way the US government treats foreign nationals...
The US government shows the world how to act towards US citizens abroad?
I used to not consider Rubio much one way or the other. Then I thought him a bit of a schlemiel— prominence in the Senate and aspirations for the presidency, but kind of a cardboard, milquetoast nothing.
He’s parlayed that into being a spineless, ball-less, evil ninny.
When you purposefully break something you want others to reciprocate so you can, with perverse logic, blame them for your actions. 'See, this is what we're up against.' As you are all aware, under the guise of America first, Trump is working for Putin destroying the US from within & from its allies.
Just want to point out that by international laws and conventions, the S Sudan in this example is required to take back their countrymen if they are expelled from another country.
Especially undemocratic states are using this tactic...
….and then go, hmmm, what are all these “services” over here? Gracious, what should we do with these?
I wonder if the EU, the largest, richest market in the world, has a “go f€ck yourself button”…
I would have thought a smart fella would have thought about that. Oh, and the election cycles.
Dope.
And if a country receives intelligence that a terrorist leader is hiding out in Chicago it is ok for that country to send in aircraft and drones to bomb them? Am I reading 🇺🇸 standards right?
At the very very least we should bar them entry if they're not vaccinated for measles and other highly infectious yet totally avoidable diseases.
That would no doubt keep quite a bit of the riff raff out 👍
Maybe other countries can strike a deal with El Salvador to take our folks and the US can make a showing of just how fast they actually can get people out of the gulag there.
Except one of the major problems underpinning all the social upheaval in Canada (besides whatever outside actors are instigating shit) is housing, likely jobs, so a bunch of Americans trying to run there isn't going to be as welcomed with open arms as it might normally be.
Marco Rubio reveals his inner fascist. Trump knew who and what the real Bible-quoting Lil Marco actually is. Trump knew Rubio's potential for evil because it takes one to know and appreciate a truly weak, venal, cowardly hypocrite.
We had long discussions in our house about leaving & came to the conclusion that no country would want us in a short while so we would be deported with nothing left to return to.
I think you’ll be welcome still. Most americans who travel are lovely people. And people are used to the idea of people leaving their country of origin because the leaders are toxic.
Russia is Sudan's strongest investment partner (in Europe) and political ally in Europe, and Russia has repeatedly and significantly regarded Sudan as an important global ally in the African continent. For decades there have been Sudanese college students studying in Russian universities.
Just got back from the Bahamas. I've traveled a ton internationally and their border officers were definitely giving Americans a lot more scrutiny than I've ever seen before. It really felt like they were just taking out frustrations on us.
As someone who has lived abroad quite a lot, when I hear someone saying they’ll just leave the country if America goes fascist, I always shake my head. It’s going to get real hard, real fast, to do so.
I’m always checking immigration requirements in other countries. Luckily I’ve got a science background so it’s easier to get permission. I feel bad for those that don’t. It’s why I stay and fight
It’s not about leaving the country. That’s easy. It’s about your status where you go. I’ve been a legal resident overseas at times when America wasn’t falling apart, and the process wasn’t easy.
If things get really bad, I'm hoping some (former) allies will offer more options for educated Americans with no criminal history and a willingness to work. Offers are already out there for for scientists and medical professionals. I'll do whatever, but I don't want to stay here and end up a Martha.
I mostly looked at English-language countries, Canada in particular. Ultimately I have family who would never in a zillion years leave, so I opted to stay near them.
I hate to say it, but other countries are too decent to stoop to that level, hurting innocent Americans. We will, though, pick a side with Americans who do what's right, in case of, God forbid, a civil war.
Alternatively: don't revoke the visas, expand them. Here's a golden opportunity to poach some of the best talent the USA has to offer and offer those folks a way out from the hell hole it's becoming.
Most Americans are unfamiliar with the politics and history of Sudan so you might want to take a few days to review their recent history before taking a side. It looks complicated.
There's no two sides here, this is evil. A random person here on a visa from a country they may or may not even feel loyal to is not a legitimate human bargaining chip.
I'm not saying they are. I'm just suggesting that not every action of this administration is equally outrageous and we shouldn't be reacting as if it were. That's as treacherous a slippery slope as attempting to both sides every argument.
What goes around comes around. Rubio forgot where he came from, abandoned his own community, and has clearly totally destroyed his already broken moral compass. He was a shitty Senator and is a worse Secretary of State.
Wgat a freaking asshole this guy morphed into. He always sucked but now it's like just shut up and crawl back into the hole you and all Maga came out of.
We need to start planning the next Nuremberg trials...in Nuremberg. And they should be held in for profit prisons exactly like ICE detention centres for the same number of days the average ICE kidnapped victim.
In the college basketball reddit, someone posted this and the moderator immediately deleted and locked the post. I think we all know who the moderator voted for in 2024.
This was my first thought... So not only does Khaman have to deal with a heartbreaking loss (he did not play well tonight), now he has to worry about being deported? I figured we'd lose him to the NBA, not the DoS.
Exactly. And see my logic is this being that he and his family his mom and daddy were immigrants. And he’s doing this to people that are just like his mama and daddy. And what I was getting that is this why don’t we after that Donald Trump is removed from Office do the same to Rubio and his family.
Nope He was born in Cuba and brought here. They didn’t have birth certificates in Cuba. So when he got here, they had to get a birth certificate. Cause he told that. When somebody mentioned that he was not from the United States.
Similar to the foreign adoption process. Feeling some empathy for couples looking to adopt overseas. Trump and Rubio surely have screwed that up yet not yet covered in the press.
It seems to me that something like that might have come up when Rubio was running for the presidential nomination in 2016, since it would have made him ineligible. It kind of smells like birther crap to me.
Well, yeah, could be. Well, at least he ain’t president. I can’t believe he’s doing this to immigrants. in fact, his mother, father, and his brother were immigrants. I think his brother Needs to be sent back to Cuba. And his little green card removed from him .
Neither of Marco Rubio’s parents were US citizens when he was born in Miami, just as neither of Kamala Harris’s parents were US citizens when she was born in Oakland.
For the Love of God don't do this

South Sudan? You mean the area that is still recovering from multiple genocides over the past few decades? Wonder why people might need to not be there.
Imagine them taking an American who was lawfully present until their visa was arbitrarily revoked, and holding them in immigration detention for weeks until they “got enough Americans for a flight”.

Yeah right
Doesnt they have 7 millions illegals to deport also ?
Two can play this game. The US has no leverage when the entire world is against us.
*The tariffs are motivated by some BS economic domination game he wants to play.
The visa stuff is just motivated by racism.
For business
For recreation
For asylum
99.999% are 1&2, but just being asked might sow a seed

El Salvador?
Let’s see how this goes.
He is NOT someone they can negotiate with, because he DOES NOT keep his word. Ever.
Look at what happened to the billionaire fools who backed his campaign and inauguration.

"How dare they treat Americans that way!" Said with zero sense of irony type behavior.
Remember, MAGA thinks it's American first, so banning "Americans" is banning "MAGA" and their conspiracy riddled heads should make that connection.
That would no doubt keep quite a bit of the riff raff out 👍
These wanna be bullies will get us all punched in the mouth
It's even more beneficial to let America's visit, stay or even move to Canada and spend their money there.
You probably won't get to take your money with you, though. There are already nasty taxes required to give up citizenship.
That's what the government will tell those dumb enough to support fascists.
It would be a revolution.
Please do not use our opressor's language to ligitamize their actions.
Let the brain drain accelerate.
We only want the nice ones.
Normally I wouldn’t say that could influence a decision like this but who fucking knows with this admin…
I had no idea about Khaman Maluach except I'm watching the game right now and they mentioned it in the first half.
Have China call in the US debt they owe.

If Marco can be deported, so can Kamala.
