    The fee works out to $14US and most of it will be used to promote tourism to the US.

    Hold on a second, how is charging a fee going to promote tourism? You mean so they can afford to pay for ad-space on TV to show some glitzy commercial?

    I doubt this will stop anybody from coming but seriously, this is a bad idea and I wouldn't be surprised of the EU does the same thing soon. AU/NZ are included in this as well.

    We're so broke we're forced to charge people to enter the US, that's hilarious.
