  An actual risk assessment would look at % not single incidents

    And it wouldn’t tell a citizen they are at the same risk as someone on a work visa.

    You’re ignoring the fact that these “single incidents” are essentially the administration testing what they can get away with. And there’s a lot more than just this one, if you bother to look.

      …no, I’m not. They’re very serious, and should be taken as such. But that doesn’t make them an accurate risk assessment in it of an individual incident, you need to look at numbers, for a real risk assessment

    We’re turning into trump supporters with our vilification and exaggeration of real life

  The post was a person with a work visa not a citizen. This is not to say that the US is the safest place to be. My US citizen cousin very recently came to live in the US and they were born and living in a different country for most of their life.

  I would probably not come in during Trump’s rule when there are other countries but you do you.

    The administration is currently figuring out how to “deport” natural-born citizens to an El Salvadoran Supermax prison that’s notorious for having horrendous conditions. All bets are off, regardless of citizenship. But it’s PARTICULARLY risky if you check any of the following boxes while also not being a natural-born citizen:

    • not white
    • not male
    • not cisgender
    • not straight
    • not evangelical Christian
    • not racist
    • not a vocal supporter of the regime

    There are real and concrete reasons that so many countries have started issuing travel warnings for the US to their own citizens in the last few months.
