Admission bonds
Trump wants visitors to the US to have to pay "admission bonds" to ensure they leave the country when their visa expires. Overstay your visa it otherwise violate its terms and you don't get the money back. Part of a new push to crack down on visa overstay as his new immigration target. As of now is a proposal and not yet a rule. https://www.apnews.com/e89102fedd8b4e86b6fe254253a1e91c "The president signedĀ a memorandum ordering the secretary of state and the secretary of homeland security to submit plans within four months to crack down on overstays, such as punishing countries whose citizens have high rates of overstays and requiring foreign travelers to post "admission bonds" that would be repaid once they leave the country."

If the bonds are cheap, it's likely to be innefective. If expensive, that's going to reduce tourism since people won't have the money to both travel and pay for it. Tourism is a big industry.
Why would it hurt tourism if you get the money back when you leave? You arenāt spending much money here if you canāt afford much more than the plane ticket.
Because having a bond be say $10,000 to enter would be a giant barrier to entry for most tourists? Anything less is not even really worth batting an eye at from an administrative cost perspective.
This would require the US keeping accurate records of people leaving
Trump is smart
Great idea.
