Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France

In a notice published on Tuesday, the US Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) said it would also require any telephone numbers used by visitors over the same period, and any email addresses used in the last decade, as well as face, fingerprint, DNA and iris biometrics. It would also ask for the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members, including children.

    I don’t mean to jump down your throat on this, my beef isn’t with you. But I think it’s attitudes like this that enable Fascist regimes to establish themselves.

    If things continue to go badly here in the US then historians will view this as “appeasement”. Not standing up against Fascism because it was more profitable that way.

      Yeah, I’m not saying what I’m for or against, just saying what EU will do and why.

      And I don’t think anyone will see letting Americans in as an appeasement. By numbers most Americans are not MAGA so US wide ban would be unfair group punishment, you want to leave the door open for anyone who wants to escape US and punishing normal citizens will not change anything. EU is not in a position to fight US. They way to win is to stand your ground on human rights and work to become independent of American influence which EU is doing moderately good job at.
