I wouldn’t be too concerned about gun violence, but the TSA and CBP have become increasingly hostile toward visitors to the United States.

If you're white and traveling from the EU or elsewhere, you’ll likely be fine, though the experience may still be unpleasant.

However, if your passport lists a country of birth deemed undesirable (such as those in the Middle East or Africa), you may face detention, additional questioning, and other issues, regardless of the passport you hold, you will be filtered out based on your skin color and physical features.

Personally, I’ve stopped traveling to the U.S. altogether. These days, I even avoid connecting flights that pass through the country.

It’s unfortunate, but as a Canadian, I no longer see America as an ally, and I fear things may only get worse in the coming years.
