As the whole world is watching, and we are approaching the Winter Olympics and the World Cup in the USA, some athletes say to be careful when traveling to the USA.
These sporting competitions will be historic: 48 teams, 16 venues between the USA, Mexico, and Canada, and most of the matches concentrated in American cities that are preparing a huge tourist boom.
But the other side of the coin is less glamorous: Day by day, stories continue to appear of deportations, cold-blooded murders, problems at airports, unjustified arrests, and entire families with their journey ruined by immigration agents. If you are going to come, let it be with your eyes wide open: papers in order, plan B if immigration denies you entry at the last minute, travel insurance, and an honest reflection on whether it is worth the risk for 90 minutes of football. If you decide not to come, it is not cowardice: it is self-preservation. It's better to watch it on TV from the comfort of your home, than to have to deal with ICE, which can arrest you simply because of your skin.
