Opening up all of these spots to everyone was a smart decision. Repealing this will take many amazing waves away from local Fijian surfers and average travelers and again make some of the best waves in the world accessible only to the wealthy:

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
