    I don’t understand why this is even on the table…

    The US and the EU are the two largest single markets in the world, just give both entities mutual visa free travel and be done with it.

    Come on EU, stop simping for the US!

      This is the case now.

      US is adding extra requirements to keep the status quo.

      Now either EU accepts it (this proposal) or hard line (and consider that US has other ways to access the data of Europeans). Problem is that if the EU decides to not give access, likely on this administration they will stop EU to enter visa free.

      Exactly like for the tariffs, EU can either do the same or accept the US citizens visa free.

      Typically this would mean require visa for US citizens that means a lot of lost opportunities for everyone (exactly like tariffs)

      No one should come here the danger cannot be understated. Ice has arrest quotas or they lose their jobs, this entire scheme is to siphon money from the taxpayer by putting people in for profit prisons. They pay like 50k per head, those prisons have rotting food, lack of medical care and fascist assholes beating people and worse. All of this adds up to a lot of incentive to arrest and hold people for as long as possible, cause or not. They’ll arrest any easy mark and foreigners most of all. Don’t come here.
