Trump Trounces Tourism
Those pesky unintended consequences can be a giant BEEOOOTCH!

Quote:When President Donald Trump issued his executive order on immigration last week, it was the travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries that dominated headlines—leaving hundreds of people in limbo, provoking airport protests, and raising questions about whether the U.S. was targeting religion in the guise of a new security rule.

But immigration lawyers who have read the order carefully are now increasingly concerned that one of its provisions could have much wider repercussions, affecting literally every foreign visitor to America, from tourists to diplomats.

The little-noticed section, appearing immediately after the travel ban, calls for the government to develop a “uniform screening standard and procedure” for all individuals seeking to enter the United States. As written, it appears to require all visitors to go through the same vetting measures, regardless of where they come from or how long they intend to stay.

If interpreted as broadly as it’s written, “It would basically shut down tourism,” said Stephen Legomsky, the former chief counsel for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services during the Obama administration.

The operative wording in the quoted part is, "it appears to"

Lets make it cheap to trade tourism with the British. Make a trip to the UK as cheap as a trip to Chicago. And we need them coming here. Not Syrians.

Nah...the operative word is Politico. A website that up until recently had a popup ad soliciting donations to be part of the "resistance"
