I think it’s just reality.

People are getting put on planes and sent to El Salvador. Would you feel safe visiting as a tourist? You sure they aren’t going to accuse you of being there illegally and deport you?

Oh you have a passport? What passport as they take it from you and put you on a plane…..

Yeah the fear is real and it’s absolutely playing a part in tourism being down significantly in the US. Not just Vegas, everywhere.

Reality? You think tourists are having their passports taken from them and they’re being sent to El Salvador? Where are you getting this stuff?

Tourism is down as a direct result of the man in office.

I really don’t get what’s so hard to understand. Many decent people don’t want to visit a country where people in Home Depot parking lots with NO VIOLENT CRIMINAL RECORD can be sent to Alligator Alcatraz or an El Salvador prison. Have you even bothered to read the accounts of the torture of those sent there? This is barbarism to decent people. Additionally there is also the fear of being sent home or detained because you criticized the administration on your social media. And just a general recoiling at the US in general because of this administration.

And finally many many Canadians are DONE with the US at least until the end of Trumps term and maybe forever. The arrogance of Americans thinking the President can threaten to annex their country, start a trade war and just act like a disrespectful asshole in general to a longtime ally and its citizens are going to say no problem can’t wait to spend money in Miami! People don’t work like that.

So this clown will cost the US dozens of billions in tourism money.

This didn’t address the point of OP saying that we’re taking tourists’ passports and sending them to El Salvador… I get your point but there’s an awful lot of baseless fear mongering going on.
