"All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered “extreme vetting.” "

I visit the US every year to see friends. Some of whom are Arab-American. I'm seriously worried that I'm going to find myself on the receiving end of 'extreme vetting'.

Also, if your country happens to be one of those that refuse to accept one-sided deportations from USA, you won't get a visa anymore:

"... Cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back."

Excuse my ignorance, but why is that a bad thing? From what I remember, visa holders staying longer than they are allotted is the number 1 source of illegal immigration.

Because only the tiniest fraction of a percent of tourists overstay visas, and tourism is $1.5 trillion industry in the U.S.

Denying tourists from entire countries will result in a loss of jobs. You don't cut of your arm because of a papercut.

Trump's own wife overstayed and worked illegally on a visitor visa.

Free colonoscopy though.

I'm sad to see this downvoted, a bit of inappropriate humor is comforting right now. Thanks for the chuckle.

Tough crowd.

Socialised healthcare by the literal backdoor, eh?

How about the random Canadian going shopping, or french tourist? The US border is already enough of a hard ass as it is.
