Little Marco to tourists: drop dead

Republicans deciding that it’s bad to collect accurate economic data is truly a mystery that will never be explained:
The State Department is launching a pilot program wherein it will require travelers entering the United States on tourism and business visas to pay a hefty bond as a guarantee they will not stay in the United States.
In a cable sent to State Department employees Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the department will implement a 12-month pilot of a “visa bond” program designed to target travelers from countries whose nationals have a high rate of overstaying their visas. That bond could total up to $15,000 per person, but the cable says consular officers will be expected to require a $10,000 bond per adult and $5,000 per child, according to two State Department officials familiar with the cable. The officials were granted anonymity to discuss the internal document without fear of reprisal.
The bonds will be collected by the Treasury Department, per the cable, and travelers will recoup their money if they exit the United States within the timespan of the visa and use specific ports of entry to enter and depart. Travelers affected must also enter the United States within 30 days of the visa being issued.
I don’t think Nevada is going to regret voting for Trump — I hear it’s not a big resort state.
