The World Is Getting the Message. It's Time Democrats Delivered it. It Really Is the Economy, Stupid.

Joe Trippi

It turns out that abducting people off the street without a hearing and deporting them to a gulag in El Salvador, without recourse, is not a welcoming message to the millions of foreign tourists who used to come to America on vacation.

Neither is holding a Canadian woman for 12 days in cells she called “ice boxes” when she was only seeking to renew her work visa. Few Americans may know her story, but it was widely reported in Canada.

In the month of March alone, 900,000 fewer Canadians crossed the border into the United States than the number who visited our country in the same month last year — a nearly 25% decrease in the last month.

Millions of people from around the world are canceling their vacation plans to see the Grand Canyon, see the Statue of Liberty, visit Niagara Falls, or roll some dice in Vegas. That’s billions of dollars in lost revenue for local restaurants, airlines, hotels, and other businesses that will be another drag on our economy beyond the damage already being done by the Trump regime’s tariffs.

And also we usually have a lot of J-1's that come and work for the seasons of summer and winter so I wonder if that's going to be impacted.

We do get a lot of bus loads.... and whole Indian families and Asian folks etc but if the dollar is worthless they don't want to come here and waste their money either or risk didn't getting deported or detained.

I'm with the economy being fucked up everywhere we can also say goodbye to most of our American tourists as well. Nobody's going to have the money to for gas or traveling if they're struggling for survival. It's going to be a very interesting summer tourism season that's for sure
