Would not want to travel to the US right now if I weren't already from here

Why even go to the US if you're fearing it that much

I'm just an anecdotal data point here, but I was likely going to travel to the US from work sometime this year. That's not going to happen anymore. Because of various political moves, extradition requests, etc. which happened lately, I no longer feel comfortable visiting US. That also triggered some talks with my friends, from which they learned a couple of uncomfortable facts... This will have next to no real effect of course, but I'd be surprised if I was the only one rejecting to travel there

Just trying to figure out why anyone would want to go to the US, as a tourist, given the present situation.

Yes, there are plenty of people who avoid travelling to the US

Or not be American and travel into the US.

Yet another reason never to enter the USA.

People who can't/won't travel to the US. Is probably the main thing.

I've cancelled my planned visits outside of the US for fear of being unwelcome and fear of difficulty getting back into the US.

Do not travel to the US until they treat non-citizens as people.The US isn't the only country that does this.[1] Maybe instead of avoiding the US, don't leave your home country at all?[1]http://globalnews.ca/news/3268531/cellphone-search-at-the-bo...
