The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

My life goal is to leave the US for more than five years and to entirely avoid social media. I want to discover and embody a life without screens in a place (or places) that is not a dumpster fire. Imagine just living an analog life in some village, occasionally visiting a city... traveling by train or bus, buying a ticket when you need one at a ticket counter or vend machine... Who knows if I would be allowed back in. Who knows what the US will look like in another 5-8 years (since I can't retire for another couple years). It may be I can't leave and will have to find a place here as off grid as I can get. I know my kid and their spouse may also want to take a powder from this shitshow.
