justapax,
Really ? "Another reason not to fly to the US" ? I can't tell if you're just trying to be funny or are just another hopelessly marooned America hater.
First of all, you will
NOT be hassled by ICE. You just won't...unless you waded across the Rio Grande in the middle of the night with no required documents and then disappeared into US society evading CBP...to do heaven knows what. The Democrats would welcome you so you'd have that going for you which appears to provide a great level of protection.
[No one batted an eye when Chairman Barack deported 3.1 million people in his terms in office but he's Chairman Barack..a messiah and all that]
And the ATC system here appears to be handling airspace containing more flying than anywhere on this planet. In need of tweaking ? Absolutely (name a human-created system that doesn't require tweaking). And they've been talking about the need for that since I began flying in the mid 1960s. In the meantime, the system seems to be accommodating the load and maybe this administration will finally implement some needed changes. Or maybe not. I don't know and neither do you.
In the meantime, I strongly suggest you absolutely avoid coming here for any reason. I wouldn't want you to be incapacitated by a raging fear that you appear to experience at the mere thought of entering US airspace.
