Oh this is going to go over well this summer with all the foreign tourists coming over to watch their countries play in the World Cup. I have a friend who is from Brasil who married an American. Her father and brother want to come over to visit her but were told it will cost them $250 each just to enter the country.

The Trump admin also is charging foreign visitors a $100 surcharge each to visit national parks. Just think how many of these people visit Yellowstone and contribute to the local economy around the park. This will keep them away.
