Fascinating at how fast this one fell off from discussion once it was discovered this was Obama's fault.

LOL!

I'm curious, what does Trump have to do with this?

More proof that the Mexican government has its priorities out of whack. With all of the social and legal problems the government has to deal with IN MEXICO, their priority is trying to thwart what is essentially ENFORCEMENT of US Immigration laws?

And you APPLAUD this as "retaliation"? What kind of American APPLAUDS foreign interference in ENFORCEMENT of properly passed laws that have been on the books for decades?

I've gone to Europe every year for the past few summers. This year, I'm researching South America instead. Don't need to spend my money on a suicidal continent.

More left hysteria. As one who travels frequently and knows, nothing more than a minor detail.
I totally agree. A lot of crying over nothing. Hell - I hold both China and India visas and both of them were obtained without even leaving my house.

More Americans Traveled Abroad in 2015 Than Ever Before - Condé Nast Traveler
Exactly. Now some may decide not to go, especially those on that pleasure category. Who does that hurt more? The American that had planned on spending money in the country on hotels, food, and souvenirs or the country that made it harder to visit?

The vote by the parliament’s civil liberties committee, which urged the revocation of the scheme within two months, means Americans will have to apply for extra documents for 12 months after the European Commission implements it.



I would suspect this hurting them more than us

Did I say applauded it??-- the twisting and twearking is going to hurt your back---
I am saying other countries are retaliating in like manner, this is NOT good for America - we are causing dissent among our allies--
And as for the attorney's- they are practicing the lawful right to represent their clients- to say other wise is Un-American -all people have a right to counsel- this is NOT a police state!


the Russian thing- just waiting for it to be played out-- all will come to the light dear-

When Trump was elected, I knew we'd end up in trade, and economic wars which will hurt out economy big time. This is just the beginning.

You miss the part about the issue stems from BEFORE Trump was elected?
