JD Vance Jokes About Deporting Tourists Attending 2026 World Cup
www.huffpost.com
The vice president warned people attending the five-week tournament next year not to overstay their welcome, or there would be consequences.

JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.

It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.

Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.

    For real. I’m not risking losing thousands of Euros on flights because some CBP asshole on a power trip denies me entry. Not to mention the very real possibility to be held at some kind of detention facility

      Just heard it on the radio that student exchanges with the US are failing; First, because parents here are afraid what happens to non-citizens in the US, and second, because US parents are wary to have foreigners in their home (no because they are afraid of foreigners or kids, but of what the US “ICE” GeStaPo might do).
