Another reason to not set foot in the USA in this lifetime. We are actually planning to go to Toronto this year. My wife found quite cheap tickets from Wien...

I have lived in the US my entire life and besides our national parks I can't imagine any reason anybody would even want to visit the US
With the world avoiding the US, I'm sure THAT will bring more people in.
That's $1000 for a family of 4.
Isn’t that the point tho?
Between FIFA being FIFA and Trump being Trump, the World Cup in the US is going to be emptier than the club World Cup.
I hope you're correct, but I get the feeling it'll be packed if nothing else at least with Americans. We do love a good corrupt spectacle, have you taken a look at our president?
That's assuming the teams show up. If I were brown I'd be really hesitant to go to the US. Hell, I'm white as can be and I don't wanna go.
Lot of money on the line for those people and their families. Their morals might be strong, but in the end I think you'd be surprised how often certain other realities win out.
inb4 there are fixers who ensure your ICE-safety for a little fee. Looking at the situation now I'm surprised such protection racket institution is not there yet.
Few people are going to want to tour the US. Fewer businesses people will want to explore business opportunities in the US. Fewer students will want to pursue a US education and if they do, they will be less willing to stay after.
Ironically, this fee doesn't affect undocumented immigrants.
and the trip ends with a free ride to Alligator Auschwitz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp.
One more reason to never go there again. Lots of countries that actually want visitors out there.
Imagine for the World Cup, hundreds thousands of tourists may already have their plane tickets and hotels reservations etc.
World Cup or not, travel to the US needs to be boycott. If they could afford tickets to such an expensive venue, they can afford to cancel those tickets. This is a country at war with the world. Stop fucking supporting them!
FIFA is considering moving a lot of the games out of the US because teams are scared of going to the US.
If anybody actually needed another reason, they are ignorant fucks.
I stated playing Papers Please recently. This looks like the headlines in the morning paper in the game.
This kills the tourism
However travelers may also be able to get the fees reimbursed, according to the provision.
Good luck with that!! ( I won't even go there if you pay me a multitude of that )
It’s an attempt to keep anyone who isn’t wealthy (by global standards) out of the US.
Ya they just opened a new place to have all the players and audience go to.
I think it’s called Alligator Auschwitz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp.
Comically, not preventing migration, just pissing off the great majority of people who might visit and spend money. So a family of 4 would pay $1000 extra. That's enough to prevent them from even booking

Charge people who want to come see how great America is.
Arrives, find out it isn't great
How do I get a refund?
