> Brighter days ahead once again for the descendants of those that settled, built, and fought for this country.

A very 1920s vibe in the 2020s, which makes me sad that we've slid this far back, that so many Americans no longer believe that the melting pot is a good idea even in theory.

The melting pot idea clearly benefits some groups more than others. It should come as no surprise when the groups that it does not benefit start questioning the origin of that idea and who is pushing it in the first place.

Fear not, once Trump is done, the U.S will have lost its position as a superpower and along with it all of its wealth and influence.

False. But what would it matter if the people have not prospered alongside. I am not the USA. I am a person who writes software and likely has made half of what I would from a lot of hard work, due to competition that other countries have done a better job of keeping out for their own people.

And now with AI eliminating most programming jobs, which will happen by the way, that downward pressure on wages may mean I'm finishing up my career starting over in a new one within 5 years.

Pure stolen wealth, essentially even stolen lives from hard working Americans. We are people who studied hard, we worked hard, we played by the rules. And our lives were stolen from us. Our retribution starts now.

Strange - an unusual amount of comments flagged. Hacker News is becoming more like Reddit by the day it seems.

If you are on H1b, buy a burner phone before you leave and enter the country. Should he fine.

If they’re checking phones, having a burner phone with no or few contacts seems like a great way to arouse suspicion at the border.

Anyone returning to the US necessarily had to earlier leave the US for some other country or countries.

If you are asked upon returning the US why you have a burner phone with few contacts say that it is because you didn't trust one or more of those other countries.

A newly purchased phone is not a problem.
