It’s time the US tourist industry had a not-so-quiet word with the government about the damage being done to America’s image overseas.

Yes, maybe we can even find someone, somewhere in the government with experience in the tourism or hospitality industry, surely they’d understand the importance of more openness to international visitors

All the American border people looked like surly thugs, but they were uniformly polite, helpful and even friendly; the Canadian border people, when we returned to the Canadian side after a day in Buffalo, were much less pleasant to deal with.

Even as an American citizen, every time I travel internationally (by plane), returning home and going through American customs/border patrol is the least pleasant part.
