fucking christ why
because murica so cool we wanna make it happy
EU has some weak pathetic leaders, but this is a new low, even for them. Bending the knee to the orange pedo is a very weak move.
Violation of human rights
14 eyes is bullshit and this is also bullshit, yet the populations in Europe stare indifferently like cattle on a farm and do not contest it. it's especially laughable considering the recent push for "sovereignty" in many states...
How do you know what people contest or not? Its not like of all the major world powers or trading blocs that we are the ones falling into fascism so lets keep the hyperbole about simple minded easily controlled populations sleepwalking into authoritarianism to a minimum.
Here before Trump calls in SEAL team 6 on a Romanian anti-American vlogger.
I am not an expert of EU law, what does a "proposal" actually mean? What is the journey from this document to it actually happening and what recourse do citizens have, if any? And why am I the first fucking person asking this question?
In 2022, the United States of America (US) introduced a new requirement for all countries that have been admitted to or aspire to join the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP). This program enables citizens of participating countries to travel to the US visa-free for a maximum of 90 days for the purposes of tourism or business. The new requirement entails the conclusion of an “Enhanced Border Security Partnership” (EBSP) with the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a condition for admission to, and further participation in, the VWP, as a component of the already existing traveller information exchange requirement.
So the Biden admin got the ball rolling on this? I'm not surprised but I am perpetually disgusted that Democrats have gotten more fashy about the border than the fucking Bush administration was.
I have a feeling Rome has its hands all over it.
Pope Leo XIV wants that data too, you know. That's how he can root out the protestants to kill.
Isn’t Trump a protestant?
He's Jewish, member of Chabad-Lubbavich thanks to Kushner, been that way since 2019. He still takes the Mark of the Beast by obeying the Pope regardless (the right hand). My producer was calling this out elsewhere.
Great fnord.
They did declare the US data protection level as equivalent in 2024, so...
Specifics matter. I would be fine with an endpoint that given the passport/id card allows to do a basic check for any severe offenses - as often performed for childcare jobs, too.
Anything beyond that sounds bad.
Why? Who cares about "offenses" of a random traveler. Why do you trust an international crime db to be accurate?
Most care about severe offenses. Trust is not binary. Please make your point or I feel like this is getting nowhere.
If the offenses are note-worthy, they should be in jail. If not then no-one needs to be aware of them.
