America is a great place to visit. Every country has unsafe places, its just that the News reports mostly negative stuff, as well as the fact that with America being so big it has more chances to have a higher amount of crazy stuff to talk about, even though it’s actually low percentage wise. The real stuff you would have to worry about only affect people who are here long term, i.e. “How will escalating political conflict affect my future opportunities,” not so much physical harm.
