Canadian Devs Are Backing Out of Attending GDC

At this point, why would you travel to the US? People with valid visas and green cards are being denied entry, strip searched, detained indefinitely, and denied prescription medicine. The government is ignoring judicial orders regarding immigration and deportation.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.luxtimes.lu&#x2F;luxembourg&#x2F;us-resident-violently-interrogated-on-way-home-from-luxembourg&#x2F;49518825.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.luxtimes.lu&#x2F;luxembourg&#x2F;us-resident-violently-int...</a><p>2. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newsweek.com&#x2F;rubio-touts-migrants-sent-el-salvador-after-judge-orders-planes-return-2045576" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newsweek.com&#x2F;rubio-touts-migrants-sent-el-salvad...</a>

I cannot blame them. It is really too bad. I remember the days were to travel between the US and Canada only required some kind of ID. There were many times I was just waved through, no stopping. Most of the time I was asked for my name and then let through.<p>After 2001 you needed a special ID and now it is a PITA. I wonder how long before an official VISA is needed.<p>So much for the longest unprotected border in the world. That title probably goes to Germany and France, which is quote amazing considering their history.

Given that Trump has threatened Canada, why would any Canadian want to come to the US? Even if the threats were just some jacked-up negotiating scheme, their nature was serious enough to warrant some form of protest and not traveling here and spending money is something that can be done without risk.

Canada should take up the issue with Trump, not with Americans. I didn’t vote for Trump. I know only a handful of people that did. I highly doubt most of the people attending GDC did. No need to be a fair weather friend, in four years Trump will be gone and normalcy will be restored.
