    I love the USA and will continue to visit this amazing country as often as I can.
    Ditto :)

    US tourism is down because Brits make up a large part of the market, and with the collapse of the GBP the US has become much more expensive. I doubt that the number of tourists boycotting the US because of President Trump is having any impact at all.

    I have to admit the biggest pita when visiting the US is standing in a queue waiting to go through immigration- on a recent visit we waited over an hour.

    When we finally got to the desk, the guy was quite dismissive as we were staying a few days - I'm sure his comments wouldn't have gone down well with the tourist department

    I think we got lucky. We sailed through at JFK. Walked up to the machine then to immigration guy and straight through.

    Morocco on the other hand what a nightmare.

    I've only been once. My wife and I joined the mile long queue. A couple of minutes later a woman in a uniform came over pulled just us out. I must admit to fearing the worst but all she did was lead us to the US citizen queue that had about six people in it. We were through in ten minutes tops.

    For anyone who has not been to the US in the last couple of years, the APC self service kiosks have massively speeded up the process.

    I agree, this has also been my experience

    We need to bring America to its senses and teach them a lesson by NOT going to America for our holidays, lets boycott the U.s.

    Perhaps better off partaking in Stop Trump march.

    Not so sure - just a another case of a politician speaking what some people want to hear, in this case what the "deplorables," (HC, 2016) want to hear.
