18. I hope they're safe both ways... but especially back to the US.

I'd be thinking about just staying in Canada, if I was them and had dual citizenship. The thing about walls... whether made up of bricks and steel, digits, or customs people is that it cuts both ways. While people may now have a hard time getting back into the country, I worry about when it comes to people leaving the country at some point. China, Russia, and whoever else, has requirements to be met in order to get the okay to travel - both inside and outside the country. I wonder how long before we join that club.
