Visiting America is not an entitlement. It is a privilege extended to those who respect our laws and values. And, as secretary of state, I will never forget that. U.S. law lays out clear rules about who can and cannot come to the United States. The State Department’s consular officers are required to apply these rules to each of the millions of visa applicants around the world each year. ... We expect — and the law requires — all visa holders to demonstrate their eligibility every day their visa is valid. This includes respecting our laws, behaving appropriately according to their visa type, and continuing to meet these standards throughout their stay in our country.

Visiting the United States is not considered a privilege, but a high risk proposition.

Don't delude yourself Marco.

My company, headquarter in the US just issued a travel warning for anyone visiting the US, with legal aid phone numbers and other available protections

I’ve got some Pakistani coworkers flying in next week and I’m concerned for their safety.

Believe Rubio, don't come here. We suck right now and the only people who have any power are one's who hold his purse strings.

“You must respect the sheer quantlity of mass shootings and also the denial of logic, reason, safety and acceptance of others…”

The recent local mass shooting (FSU) really brings this point home

Never have, it's just a convenient excuse for whatever the current admin wants.

All right, keep to yourself then.

Looks like I'll wait until the dist settles before visiting the U.S. again. I feel sorry for folks over there who try to make a living off tourism. I've met so many awesome people in my travels to the States. Hang in there folks! We'll be back there to visit you once again soon!
