Tourism: I saw something on Facebook.

The food almost proved fatal! The ceremony was at a family place, so we expected tapas. We imagined a few nibbles, the local ham, etc. We didn't expect tapas,, pork chops and multiple sides. People were bursting! The main meal we expected was 3 courses, but turned out to be 7. Every time another course appeared, people were 😳, but then it was too delicious to resist. The legs were large servings, but small legs... I imagine they were very young. But, unlike American dining, the Spanish enjoy slow food. We arrived at 8 and didn't leave until gone midnight.

I'll probably dream about that lamb on my deathbed.

The complete, horrible story of the British tourist detained by ICE. Fucking idiots desperate to fill Trump’s quotas are terrorizing tourists in the US.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it.
 
I was going to visit NY in June with my family. No matter how slim the chance is, I will not risk my children being detained, we will go somewhere else instead.
Yeah. Some of my Aussie cousins were coming this summer and planned to visit on their way to the UK but they changed their tickets and are now going thru Dubai. Oh well......
 
WSJ published numbers today showing passenger arrivals to the US from other countries for the first four months of this year, compared to the first four months of prior periods. Might surprise some of you.

Spending among international visitors to the U.S. is poised to fall $8.5 billion this year, according to Oxford Economics.

Tourists are avoiding the U.S. as a destination amid tensions tied to Trump administration policy related to trade and the border, experts said.

Budget cuts for National Parks, because Trump is too fat to enjoy parks. 😆

Department of the Interior budget proposal cuts $1 billion from National Parks

After the busiest year on record, and an already busy start to the year for at least one park, the National Park Service budget could be reduced by more than $1 billion next year.

the budget proposal is requesting $2 billion for the national parks, down more than $1 billion from the current budget. It would be the largest cut in NPS history, according to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA).

“It’s nothing less than an all-out assault on America’s national parks,” Theresa Pierno, president and CEO of the NPCA, said.

Cutting 1/3 of the National Park budget.
 
A tourist was denied entry to the US because he had a JD Vance meme on his phone

Tourists are being mistreated and denied entry purely to meet Trump administration quotas.

Mads Mikkelsen, 21, touched down at New Jersey’s Newark Airport on June 11, excited to visit friends in New York City before travelling to Austin, Texas.
Next, Mr Mikkelsen said that officials threatened to imprison him or fine him $5000 if he did not grant them access to his phone, so he did.
It was at that point where agents made the discovery of a meme on his device that depicted vice president JD Vance’s face – altered to make him chubbier, bald and cartoonish.

And an Australian woman was abused and denied entry when she tried to visit her husband who is in the US military:

Nikki Saroukus from south-west Sydney was “treated like a criminal”, denied her rights, subjected to invasive searches and a night in federal prison after travelling to Hawaii to visit her US military husband.

Mrs Saroukos told news.com.au that she arrived with her mother to Daneil K Inouye International Airport for a routine three-week holiday when things took a sharp turn at the customs desk.
Mrs Saroukos said she was handcuffed, subjected to an in-depth cavity search and marched through the airport in full view of the public before being driven to a federal detention facility where she spent the night.

She was then put on a flight back to Australia the following day.

MAGA sheep love this shit.
