    I’m having real difficulty convincing my mother not to go to the US. She doesn’t really pay much attention to the news and although she knows some things are going on I find it very hard to get her to understand how serious it is.

      this is well within the territory where you shouldn’t feel bad about pulling out all the stops and making a personal emotional appeal, outright beg her not to go, tell her you’re terrified of losing your mom

      There’s a significant amount of Americans that are trying to get out. After they close the boarders in they start closing them going out.
