Well since children's books are banned that tariff really doesn't matter.
Sounds like Peron, except Peron gave government jobs to the working class for mollification. Musk is cutting them.We are moving toward a patchwork of tariffs on things the working class and poor buy to partially fund income tax cuts that will mostly benefit the upper class and wealthy — then fund the difference with debt with rising interest costs, choking off government funds available for services to the people who will bear the disproportionate burden (as a percentage of income) of the tariffs.
I don't know much about work visa rules, but it seems that Canada recognized the potential issue.![]()
‘I’m super worried’: fewer UK tourists visiting US amid Trump’s policies and rhetoric
Number of Brits crossing Atlantic down 14.3% from 2024 – and the travel industry fears decline could continuewww.theguardian.com
Under American law, using a tourist visa for those purposes is perfectly legal. Maybe there was some other detail she wasn't telling us, but it's much more likely that ICE was just acting lawlessly.I don't know much about work visa rules, but it seems that Canada recognized the potential issue.
Within hours of posting that drawing, Burke got to see a much darker side of life in America, and far more than a glimpse. When she tried to cross into Canada, Canadian border officials told her that her living arrangements meant she should be travelling on a work visa, not a tourist one. They sent her back to the US, where American officials classed her as an illegal alien. She was shackled and transported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention centre, where she was locked up for 19 days – even though she had money to pay for a flight home, and was desperate to leave the US.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre
Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do itwww.theguardian.com
On one hand, you acknowledge there are things we don't know, but then state, definitively, that ICE is behaving illegally.Under American law, using a tourist visa for those purposes is perfectly legal.

I do not know anything about Canadian immigration law, so I do not know if the Canadians acted properly there or not.
Notice the Canadians who "recognize the potential issue" did not feel the need to throw the woman into a cell. It's sad that you JCD such unnecessary (and illegal) detentions.
1. I didn't state definitively that ICE is behaving illegally. In fact, I stated the opposite.On one hand, you acknowledge there are things we don't know, but then state, definitively, that ICE is behaving illegally.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not comment specifically on Burke's case but noted that individuals traveling under the Visa Waiver Program are prohibited from working for any type of compensation, including work in exchange for room and board.

2. The reason I doubt CBP is that it lies. For instance: I just read every single statutory provision and regulation pertaining to the Visa Waiver Program, and none of them said what ICE says. In fact, the regulations specifically state the opposite: that work is defined in terms of displacing any domestic worker, which would not plausibly be the case unless there are people out there who would hire domestic workers but instead rely on a steady stream of ETSA visitors.
I don't think Trump said anything related to the situation.So whatever. I don't believe anything Trump says. For CBP, I will at least check to see if it's true. I see no regulation or statute or any source of law that addresses this situation.
