I traveled to the US (from my country -France- and many others) for 12 years. About a trip every month. The last time was 10 years ago.

I never had any problems (outside the horrible behaviour of border officers who show you that you are not welcome). I was stopped once by a policeman when I did an illegal car maneuver (which is tolerated in France), and when he realized I was a tourist with family, he just said, "Be careful, have a nice trip."

Today I am seriously considering never going to the US anymore because it looks like it is not a good destination anymore. I may be wrong though, I hope.

No, I took a break with extensive travelling and now that my kids are older I am getting back to that.

Spending money in a country that obviously is not happy to see me is not likely to happen. We went for the rest of the world for now.
