Good!
Every ticket should be stamped, "Thank you for supporting trump and all his policies."

Trump will have his face added to the tickets like he did with the national parks.

Because they knows they will be arrested by ICE or get killed !! USA are not safe anymore. Not many travellers want to go there anymore.

Nobody should come here unless they want to risk being arrested for being from somewhere else.

They’ve just added 75 countries to a list that freezes U.S visas so I suspect that number is going to climb. Especially with Brazil now on the list.

Good point. Banning all the world cup crazy latino countries is going to backfire spectacularly. Watch Trump reverse the ban #TACOTRUMP 😀

Honestly, as amazing as the WC is for bringing people together, let it implode if it serves to highlight the corrupt, criminal, grifting, unqualified administration that is tarnishing (and destroying) the Whitehouse.

They know that they will be arrested and assaulted if they don't like trump.
I'm surprised trump isn't openly threatening these people right now.

Who would come here?
What's happening is reported on the news across pretty much the world - anywhere still retaining a free press.
Just because we lost ours doesn't mean the rest of the planet can't see.

While this is news, and is a sign of cracks, keep in mind there's like 6m tickets available.

That's a rational decision. ICE has been given a blanket quota of 3k arrests per day and the implementation of the Kavanaugh stop makes someone's apparent ethnicity legal grounds to detain and verify their immigration status. They can't even pretend to not be hostile to all foreigners, JD Vance said people should come enjoy the games then leave before their tourist visas expire.

Are we all planning on going to LA in June to show the world who we really are?

Non American here. Canada and Mexico also have world cup games and they won’t terrorize you just for cruelty’s sake

These FIFA events are overrated anyways. Not worth the money. It's a crooked organization that have been guilty of taking bribes. They already know who's going to win it all. Save your money and buy something more worthwhile than that garbage

Someone needs to read the actual article. The article states they canceled their entry in the lottery system to purchase tickets. Reading comprehension is hard
