If you need to watch the 2026 World Cup in person, stick to Canada and Mexico. The United States is not safe for visitors.

There are three messages the US is sending to the world ahead of the 2026 World Cup, two of which need to be taken seriously. First came from President Donald Trump I said “We can’t wait to welcome soccer fans from all over the world,” he said at a recent press conference hyped the 2026 World Cup. These are the words of Barker at Carnival who was shocked whenever he thought about making the impression of the 1936 Olympics at Hitler at one of the world’s most popular sporting events. This should not be taken seriously by you.
The second message comes from Smarty Supplicant JD Vance at the same press conference. The Vice President attempted a joke with someone he follows on X, where the YouTube show is probably boosting eugenics. he I said“We know we have visitors from probably nearly 100 countries. We want them to come. We want them to celebrate. We want them to watch the game. [Department of Homeland Security] Secretary [Kristi] Noem. “Sending people to the offshore torture/labor camps in the US in El Salvador and priming tourist profit pumps is no veiled threat.
Current Issues
But, undoubtedly, Vance’s message is serious, just as serious as the naked ambition emanating from this barely shaved chipmunk. Expect World Cup preparations to come with attacks from non-white communities, immigrants and more. Considering that it is normal to look at the state From that line Anyway, in the host city before the World Cup, you can only tremble and watch what will happen. Trump abuses the cup, particularly in Los Angeles, to design a cup with a large population of undocumented immigrants and its Democratic mayor Karen Bass, which looks more like the 1978 World Cup held by Argentine torture regimes in South Africa than the relatively mild ones in South Africa (despite media hysteria).
This brings us to the final point. This is not a safe place for people without a passport. These days, even a passport doesn’t guarantee anything. US citizens, including Native Americans; It’s scooped up On top with ice. President Bounigren of the Navajo Recent It has been recounted Many Navajo citizens experience “negative and sometimes traumatic encounters” with ice.
If the crackdown on undercontrol organized by ice is dangerous to the country’s first people, then we can be sure it is dangerous to visitors all over the world. Ask a German teenage backpacker It has been reported After landing in Hawaii, he has been strip searched and imprisoned. Ask a Canadian entrepreneur who spent two weeks at the Otaymesa detention center. explained “To be thrown into a psychological experiment of certain illnesses, as tempted, meant depriving us of every ounce of strength and dignity,” ask Green Card Holder and Legal Permanent Resident Mahmoud Khalil. Ask the student visa holder.
Hosting the 2026 World Cup in the US is dangerous for teams, their families and fans. And the words are coming out. New Group –Boycott USA 2026– Appears to request that “we must move or boycott a game scheduled in the US.” The organization is concerned that international visitors could be at risk and that the Trump administration could use football tournaments as an alibi to bolster deportation planes.
There are many countries issued Travel warnings against the US, including Canada, France, Ireland, Germany, Portugal and Finland. They’re seeing an increasing number of people who can see Vance’s jokes being serious business.
Vance once I insisted Joking with his “man friend” is “the essence of masculinity.” (Vance lies again – this time about having friends.) More importantly, members of the Trump administration – from Vance Robert F. Kennedy Jr. To make yourself a Trump, we use what they call jokes to create a political space to discourage social policy. When critics are pushed back, the standard rift of question is to convey that those humorous fadidaddies aren’t too nervous. But Trump and his likes use crude humor to normalize xenophobia, racism, sexism and transphobia. And when people are judged not to be worthy of basic human dignity, they all say, “Poison in the blood” – Arrests, camps, prisons and legitimate proceedings. It’s all on one agenda and everything serves that agenda.
Vance attracted a lot of attention for his “joking” on the task force presser, but Trump also flew. When the President I was asked Whether people who are engaged in “pro-Palestinian protests around the world” should feel safe traveling to the US to enjoy the World Cup; He answered“I think people are allowed to protest. You have to do it in a reasonable way. It’s not necessarily friendly, but it’s reasonable. Otherwise, Pam will come after you, and you have a big problem.” This is the third message.
“Pam” is US Attorney General Pam Bondy, and recently, like Trump’s synergy, Yukked uploaded it About sending drug traffickers to Alcatraz Prison, where they resumed. Bondi is fair too Sign off Trump’s gift of a “New Air Force 1” plane from Qatar is part of the government’s intense corruption over the historic and fascinating upset. For those of us who remember scandals like donors spending the night in our Lincoln bedroom, it’s surprising that moral standards now seem quaint. In many cases, mainstream journalists are conspiring to wash this new political reality.

We can’t expect FIFA to stand up to Trump. The World’s Governing Body for Football Care claim About human rights. But of course, Trump and elbow-to-elbow sitting under the press conference spotlight, FIFA President Gianni Infantino raised no concerns about undocumented residents taking ice shots and sending them to infamous residents. Cecot Mega-Prison In El Salvador. Instead, Infantino laughed when he was president I interrupted him It claims that the United States will be listed as the host of events ahead of Canada and Mexico. Infantino moved to Miami. It is reportedly The legs are a $5,000 monthly bill for my daughter to attend private school. He was a special guest Trump’s appointment Earlier this year, he rang the phone as the president took the oath of office. Post to Instagramhe regularly opposes fierce competition and becomes Trump’s biggest sicophont.
The 2026 World Cup will begin in just 13 months (June 11, 2026). nevertheless, According to the US Department of Statethe waiting time is 18 months for visas from Colombia, 12 months for Nigeria, 11 months for Ecuador, and 5 months for Algeria (these are due to general visas not related to the World Cup). Adam Crafton It has been reported in Athletic State Department officials have expressed concern that the reckless dismantling of the federal government of Doge could significantly worsen these wait times and the acceptance of visa-required World Cup tourists.
People need to start getting visa applications (and still apply) threat (of “enhanced judgement”) and not come to the United States for the World Cup. You are in airspace where planes cannot safely take off and land thanks to government cuts. Once you get off the plane you will enter an airport where you could end up in prison. Once you’ve done it, you’ll be off the glug and remain in your visa paper. For yourself, for your family, for your family, for your family, away from the United States. As for players, don’t take your family to the US. Don’t put the people you love in danger. It may be difficult to imagine a boycott of the US part of the World Cup. But if you have to watch the tournament in person, great World Cup venues in Mexico and Canada offer alternatives to those who don’t think concentration camps are “funny.”
