Neat. Trump stole the election and I quit going. Haven't been since. Sorry good Americans, but the rest of your lot are fucking morons and I won't be coming back.
I'm not justifying it, nor am I saying you should visit the States (please don't), but I've been photographed on entry/exit of Japan and NZ the last two years of travelling. Fingerprinted as well in Japan.
I guess I'm just saying that this sadly will become more and more normal globally.
I'm surprised about NZ given how much our government has cut services on border control.
Yeah as a UK citizen I have been photographed and fingerprinted in the USA for like 10 years...its nothing new really.
I was fingerprinted or might have had just a check when I entered the US when I was not yet a Canadian citizen, after I became a citizen this never needed to be done.
I'm just sick and tired of all this shit. Once upon a time it used to be that you had to be a criminal, and I mean actually convicted of something, to have those things entered anywhere, now they're just doing it to everyone.
2022: Yay, I finally got my Canadian citizenship! Crossing the US border will be much smoother now 2025: psych!
#stop going to the states
Unless it's necessary for work, and even then I'd weigh the risks, why the hell are any Canadians crossing the border?
I don't plan on doing it ever again.
Agreed. No one should be crossing the border. It's not worth a trip to El Salvador.
Family?
They can come to a country that is not fascist.
May not always be realistic I suppose, but they could come to Canada.
Edit: assuming we're taking about visiting.
“The biometric entry and exit system is not a surveillance program,” the department said in the same document.
It’s a surveillance program.
for Palintir specifically.
But they'll only keep the data for 75 years. /s
In a few years they'll change their minds and say it is in perpetuity.
Try me, it will be a boxing day
