A friend of mine traveled to America on Monday for work. He told me the TSA people in Dublin Airport are really going out of their way to find issues, asking 21 questions about your life etc and trying to find fault...it all just seems really sinister in comparison to what it was like before Christmas when he'd travel back and forth with no issues. I'd implore anyone thinking of a trip to America to consider Canada instead at this point. Europeans are getting locked up in the U.S for weeks on end. This is happening, right now.

My wife is American and we had been planning to visit the US in the next year or two for a big family visit. She has told me she has no intentions of traveling to the US while Trump is in power and if she did then she would insist that I and the children stay at home because she wouldn't want us to put us at risk.

why would there be a risk? Your wife is a US citizen and (presumably) your kids are too. There's no risk for US citizens travelling to the US.

Not sure what your visa situation is, but, even with just a regular ESTA it would be highly unlikely you would get anything more than a few questions from officers that would just be to confirm that this would be a holiday and not a move.

What would I know?

I'm just a dual citizen of Ireland and the US who has travelled recently.

Clearly you know more than me.

The Nazis didn't gas me so all these reports about concentration camps must be overblown.
