ICE is a huge risk for a traveller. They're running as a lawless gang. No accountability.

I want my vacation to be fun but there is a non-zero chance of getting nabbed by ICE in the US. Combine that with the US policy of any idiot can and should own a gun.

The US is a crazy 2nd world shithole and doesn't offer anything worth the risks.

Just a point of order:

The terms First, Second and Third World were cold war references to the power blocs (Allies, Soviets, unaligned).

If you mean to say backsliding in terms of development, say that.

Third world is an inaccurate description for 'undeveloped' countries.

Third world is an inaccurate description for ‘undeveloped’ countries.

a better description is "shithole".
