My desire to visit the US just went sub zero.

The worst part is this has the possibility to spread to other countries (that the US can twist the arm of) because they want to extend their policies further.

Right, just freaking stop going there. Americans have made it loud and clear (by voting with majority) that they don't like outsiders.

Stop going to the US. Is it pretty? There are way better places on earth. Is it fun? There are way funnier places ok earth. There's no reason to submit to all that degrading behavior.

Good riddance. Let the. Keep their decadent country to themselves until it crumbles.

To be clear, at this point the majority of Americans do not support the current administration. So blaming it on the American government is more apt.

Majority supports the immigration agenda though.

That's not clear. The problems and the agenda don't align. Majority definitely supports fixing the problems, but the political leadership clearly supports keeping things dysfunctional. Remember that the US Congress was ready to pass legislation to solve before the last election, and Trump made them stop it so he could campaign on the problems.

About half support more raids and more ICE.

37% approve illegal deportations to El Salvador. Not a majority, but a shoking approval for literally illegal, both domestically and internationally, operations. General Trump disapproval is barely over 50%. These reflect a widespread rot in the culture, not just a rogue administration.
