It's a thing. My family has long done everything they could to keep me out of anywhere in Mexico out of safety concerns.
I've had friends reject corporate overseas assignments both for safety...and even air pollution concerns.
Doesn't surprise me one bit that some people globally might now be thinking US is not a great place to visit.
I have a gay friend here/US with Irish heritage who just got citizenship in Ireland in case things turn south here for her and her wife. She wasn't born in Ireland, never lived there...but she's prepared to jump.
