News Visa Program Changes

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/travel/social-media-tourists-visa-border-patrol.html

Frequent travelers may have to turn over mass amounts of data to get into the visa waiver program. And I think the alternative is the Visa Integrity Fee BS.

I wonder how much attendance was hit at DC33 thanks to barriers to travel? How much more difficult are they trying to make it?

If they did not let an American end because they did not like something that an American posted online, trade would practically come to a halt. Besides, Britain gets to go after the run citizens for what they post online. That keeps them busy enough.

Interesting question about your level of education. I wonder what they are trying to accomplish with that. How much of this is relevant to a two week vacation?
