World Finals and the Travel Ban?

How do you think the Trump travel ban is going to affect participation of this year's World Finals? I love meeting people from other countries when I am there, it's part of the week for me but I think the travel Ban is going to be a huge deterrent for many racers this year.
So if I go is it just going to be all you Mericans and a few Japs? Lol

It's still early on, mang. Give us a bit more time, and you Canooks will be banned as well.
 
Haha, jeez, take a pill, I am not upset, and Aqua knows I'm just having fun, I met most of these guys at WF. By the way I'm Canadian and white, the true minority! As Steve says, putting the Bad in Badvinny!
Real topic though, it was a thought that I figured was worth discussing!

I know the Saudis and the UAE usually have a presence at world finals, but I don't think I've ever seen any of the travel ban nations in attendance to begin with.
 
Portugal and Morocco often send teams, being right in the travel ban area they will probably have difficulty. Here in Canada plenty of full blood Canadians with Eastern names are being turned back!

Speaking of Canada! I can't believe how hard it is to get in there. I was stuck in customs for an hour explaining the one time I got pulled over for doing 75 in a 55 10 years ago in the US. And I walked across the boarder..
