People want to immigrate to the USA still? Bizarre.
There are still countries even worse than the US.
And I think you’re underestimating the strength of an immigrant’s will to take risks to attempt to find a better life. Immigrants have suffered far worse throught US History.
I mean, just take a look at Wong Kim Ark. Dude didn’t just give up and leave, he stood his ground and fought though it, even though he had no idea if the US would even consider his case seriously.
And many people already have relatives in the US. So these are the risks they are willing to take to reunite. Unlike many westerners, who just completely give up on the slightest obstacles.
(Although I do think the much better option now is the EU, if they don’t have any relatives in the US already.)
You can need a visa for tourism.

This is kind of stupid. I don’t even remember social media tags I’ve used. Who would want to go through this shit to get into redneckville?
Exactly, they are talking about dozens of names. Who on earth would remember that, let alone want to share it.
This was explained to me years ago. They don’t give a fuck about what you said. They want you to lie, in case they need to fuck you up. If for some reason they want to screw you, they’ll look for these uids, and if you hadn’t declared, they’ll slap perjury charges on you.
Ideologically unaligned visitors need not apply. Got to keep America pure, without the pesky freedom of subversive thought.
It’s a chance for
everyonevisitors to practice right think.While looking for a link, I found links that make me think some folks are trying to unironically reclaim the term “right think”. Gross.
Too many people aren’t reading 1984 anymore, while billionaires thought it was a “how to” guide.
Just don’t wait to ask Grok what it thinks “Right Think” is, as Musk plans for it to rewrite human knowledge and understanding with a new lens. :')
Good thing I delete that crap 10+ years ago. Enjoy the shitty data and memes!
Same, but it worries me that now I look like I’m hiding something.
I guess technically I am hiding something: It’s disdain. Disdain for shitty social media is what I’m hiding.
Lol, now even the dumbest asshole should understand that they should cancle their US vacation…
I legitimately do not, and have never had, any of the usual social media. This lemm.ee about is the only one I have, and that’s closing down soon.
However I would also never visit the us. So it’s all a win/win for me.

“Well that can’t be right. Highly suspicious. What do you have to hide?”
“What do you have to hide?”
Grizzly murders. Loads of them!!
…
…J/k. It’s my privacy. All those horrific murders were really easy to get away with, keeping my privacy private however…
Well, that’s one more reason to never come to the USA again
Seriously, what’s the advantage of having social media? Just seems like a liability with every account.
If you don’t have social media you must be “hiding” something and will be denied entry.
will be denied entry
Source:
look at the news, airhead. They detain tourists and journalists for far less nowadays. Even fucking Senators. What else needs to happen for you to wake up?
Who was denied entry for not having social media?
Make a fake one that posts like… idk post random tech stuff that you could be reasonably interested in. Make nothing critical of authority. As a decoy profile.
Then you can rant about big brother on an anonymous Lemmy Account over TOR.
and then they check their palantir database and see your lying and throw you in a south american gulag
Finally a killer app for AI. Create social media profiles and use AI agents to populate them with bland uncontroversial drivel.
But a super recent account would be suspicious
You have to do this over a couple years
I can see a black market for decade old “clean” social media accounts to bypass the system lmao
This is stupid. This will not stop spies and terrorists, they will just create fake accounts. This will only hurt legitimate immigrants.
This is for non immigrant visas it says
What I said can be applied to any type of visa. The policy is not going to fix anything, it’s only going to invade peoples privacy and turn away legitimate visa applicants.
USA being USA
Btw don’t forget to switch instance
Of course, how would they know if you don’t list any? Oh, that’s right, PRISM. Fully expect that people who don’t have social media accounts to get accused of having them simply because someone else shares the same name and did say First Amendment protected stuff, like Donald Trump is a terrible fucking president and should be impeached.
Sorry person with the last name Erdude. I guess you aren’t getting into the US now.
I feel like I’m going to be responsible for Trump sending ICE to raid the Shady Pines community event planning committee that picks the color schemes for their weekly card games.
it’s ok. my married name is Erdude but we spell it E’Rdude.
Why does this make me think of Birdcage…
I am a doctor and my professional name is Dr. ER dude.
should be impeached
Impeached and then executed for treason.
Dragged out and gaddafied
I was thinking more of Mussolinied
lmao, their tourism is going to shrivel and die so fast
The attendance for the next FIFA cup was already looking bad, and I can’t imagine the US government wanting your history of online activity to help it even a bit.
I can’t wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don’t go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.
Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.
I’ve been boycotting the world cup for a decade because they can’t stop giving the host status to horrible states
Yeah looking at the attendance for the world club competition is pretty bad.
Maybe that will finally kill off the giant amorphous blob of human rights violations known as FIFA
The last one was in some barbarian gulf state, now it’s even worse. Fuck FIFA
People should boycott it outright.
The entire event industry is a front for sex trafficking.
It already is… Many people from Europe I know, now cancelled their plans.
Here officer my username is ifuckyourmum69
welcome to Autocracy ladies and gentlemen, sit back, grab some popcorn and pay attention to your neighbours, some might start dissappearing soon
football selling out to Qatar who use slave labour and stone gay people to death, now US who hate foreigners and will detain you at random, and being in 2034 in Saudi Arabia, who also hate human rights is just the icing on the cake. I wanted to fly to the US for the world cup, but fuck that, fuck Trump and his cronies across the globe
dont threaten americans with what they want and voted for.
My US visa officer: what do you mean you did not have ‘social’ media accounts in 5 years? No, these weird sites don’t count. Underground terrorist? Straight to gulag.
They want to stay by themselves? That’s fine by me. But then they should also stop exporting their Hollywood and streaming turds (as well as their shit food). That would only be fair. And maybe also stop behaving like if they owned the entire planet?
